How do you know you are here right now?

Well, sometimes I do have control over my own dreams. When I'm dreaming, I sometimes I know that's a dream, but I forget the fact that I can control it. When I remember it's a dream and I can control it, there is just some few times which I can do so.

I feel like if I had at least a little of control with myself, or know myself better, or accept myself; I would be able to take control over my dreams. The progress is hard. I just try to imagine and then that happens, but in the most time I try to do this, my mind goes to hunt me down.​

I don't think I have experenced sleep paralisis. I have heard of it. Its so you dont act out your dreams and squirm and hurt yourself. Ya know, you could be running a marathon in a dream, but you will be still in your bed. I must say, thankyou for your input :D You have been very helpful.

 

i Have lucid dreams every night seriously man its weird. i game myself a cake, which turned into a portal gun, which i made out of cake thea tasted like pie flavored pie

 

Are you familiar with the term 'lucidity'? Please tell us about what you chose to do in those dreams instead of what 'happened' in them.

 

That's not sleep paralysis, that was a really vivid false awakening. In hypnagogic sleep paralysis, you are conscious of the fact that you can't move. In your "hallucination", you describe reaching out to touch a spider. False awakenings tend to become very common when one is trying to lucid dream.

Some people induce sleep paralysis on purpose because they claim to be able to easily shift from a hypnagogic state into a lucid dream. I've tried this, only once, and not only did I not have lucid dream, it was a terrifying fuсking experience. One of the things about sleep paralysis is that for whatever reason, everybody who has it (Anyone from whom I've read descriptions of experiences with it anyway) feels a heavy weight on their chest. I felt it too, of course. Now, since you hallucinate during hypnagogic sleep paralysis, apparently a common thing for your brain to do is come up with some kind of explanation for the weight on your chest- some people hallucinate up a rock or a dog or something. I was prepared for that. What I was not prepared for was this motherfuсker STANDING ON MY CHEST while I heard this song playing at an ear shattering volume. And again, I could not move. At all.

Fuсk sleep paralysis.

 

Normally when I realize I'm dreaming my brain snaps awake and it's morning.

I have had a couple dreams about a girl in my life and I controlled the story. :)

 

that was choice man dont be hateing i have had more than you know of them, i could go into detale of one but i wont, because you mear mortals cannot understand it i will give you a much more simple one
basicly though i met everyone here (that are on my friends list) and they were havieing a fight, then i had to choose from there what i wanted to do, being in control, i just blew them all up and respauned them with no memory of the fight that got boring then i gave them memory of it they faugnt it out with swords that i made. after all were dead, i respauned them and put them in the coloseum in rome, and had them fight each other to the death one on one eventually becomeing bored of this i just simply ended the dream, and woke up you can when in a lucid dream, after experience with them force the end of a dream and start new, or just simply wake up calling me an iddiot or bad mouthing my logic only causes instant rebuttle and a argument, which i have never lost one. good day to you, Makaze

 

Makaze did not call you an idiot or bad mouth your logic.

If you're proud of the fact that you've never lost an argument I'd suggest you don't start one with Makaze.

 

eh dot start with me, my unpriditbly makes it impossible to understand how to obtain victory
anyway on topic, it is weird to know that you have no real "dreams" like people normally do, so geting inot the habit can make dreaming unfun

 

I am almost one hundred percent certain that I was awake and that my sleep paralysis was wearing off. If not, then I was lucid after it faded like I have never been before. I analysed that it was sleep paralysis taking a minute to wear off, estimated the time in a few seconds, regained my composure and thought about writing this occurrence down. I find it hard to believe that I was dreaming.

Poor you...

... I am amazed. I believe this a case of someone being so incoherent that it is impossible to respond to them.

It is hard to believe that anyone would acknowledge your skills if you cannot type a single post with correct spelling and punctuation. The first step to being respected is acting professionally. Would you find it easy to respect the words of someone who did not know when to pause while speaking and consistently failed to pronounce things clearly?

Do you understand the difference between admitting defeat and losing? It is impossible for you to have known the truth about everything every time before arguing about it, especially through childhood up to now. How many years have you been alive, and how much have you learned through trial and error in that time? Please notice the 'error' part of the process. A truly skilled strategist knows when he has lost and learns from it. If you do not admit losses to yourself, then you will keep the ideas that you have had since you first learned to speak and never stray from them. I hope that your unpriditbly does not get in the way of further progress after reading this conversation.

 

I guess it's possible but I've never heard of anything else like it.

I'm in English class and everyone just looked at me wondering what I'd laughed at.

 

grammar troll gonna hate?
Don't hate man, I have the skills of a 3rd grader at writing. Being rude like that just makes me angry angering me is bad idea. I can barely spell some words, and being rude like that is very offensive to me as of that fact. Please refrain from typing the first thing your head thinks up because writing like that is very offensive to me, and I am sure many others when you malign someone over a missed period and a misplaced "R". Don't Be A Grammar Troll. If I cannot wright, then just ignore my post and move on. I will not be insulted like that again. an insult of that magnitude deserves an apology, if you do not care to apologies, then that is fine, but I will not start a war over nothing. Your paragraph sounded like you insulting my intelligence (as if I had none above a 5 year old) like that because I don't want to be "serious" all the time. Please, just relax. If you find my post to be inaccurately worded, I have misspelled words, or bad punctuation ignore them please and refrain from a farther tirade when it dose not need be. Thank you, now good-bye.

 

Do you see the problems with this post? They are self-contradictory and have been made bigger than the rest and put in bold for your convenience. I expect you will want to respond to this post and claim that you do not want to continue in that one as well. Please stop shooting yourself in the foot. It is painful to watch.

Your posts are hard to read. I am not trolling; they are honestly inconvenient uses of my time. Unlike certain other members, I prefer to acknowledge and respond to every post that addresses me directly. I should not have to decipher your posts sentence by sentence. The first subject that you must be proficient at in order to discuss subjects is Language Arts. Discussion depends on efficient communication by definition. Let me list some logical fallacies that you have brought into play if you will not acknowledge the communication problems.

• Argumentum ad baculum (appeal to the stick, appeal to force, appeal to threat) – an argument made through coercion or threats of force to support position;
• Argumentum ad consequentiam (appeal to consequences) – the conclusion is supported by a premise that asserts positive or negative consequences from some course of action in an attempt to distract from the initial discussion;

I am the one of us who has not broken their calm. You will not scare me away, and you will not make me lose my cool. If you cannot post without childishly threatening me with things like, "You won't like me when I'm angry," then we are no longer discussing anything. Let alone lucid dreaming.

You still have not answered my question about lucidity. Are you game now?

 

Spoiler

You took a shot, it missed and I am not going to waist bullets on a fight not worth it. Thank you for your rude business

Spoiler

Drink a coke and relax...and if you say this is self contradictory, I do not care, plus starting a fight on something as small as a comma is really not worth it. Now pay Confucius his 2 cents worth.

,now lets get back on topic.

Lucid dreaming is quite weird. All your decisions can impact the world of your dream, even if you do not play a part, and thus that is in itself the lucid dream: A dream where life becomes more like a dream, and dreams become more like life. Dreams like thees loose there luster eventually so don't do this too often, lest you will forget the way to dream itself.

 

Good enough.

I need to try for lucid dreams again... It has been too long. At some point normal dreams are not good enough. My last lucid dream lasted a few seconds before I woke myself up. Oh, my dream life...

 

Lucid dreaming can be hard. Very much mentally. Why do you think I'm so insane?

 

I know very well how hard it can be.

You are not insane. Be wary of self-diagnosis. Especially before you complete puberty.

 

I used to have those a lot when I was younger but nowadays not so much. I do however have (not sure what it's called) Deja Vu type dreams. Where I dream it then a random number of days later I experience the dream in reality. They're usually not important stuff but it's pretty interesting when I experience it. Makes me wonder if the human mind is capable of seeing the future or something. Anyway I'm not sure if that all relates to Lucid Dreaming but yeah.

 

Well, I believe having more than one personality is considerate insane, last time i checked. Or maybe, its because although the same thing happens I continue to microwave tin foil, expecting it wont be on fire.
These Makaze are jokes (although, i am bad at them they are) sarcasm was intended. No offense.

Technically yes, Thees are events your brain theroises on the events of the next day or later. Don't take them seriously they just kinda happen and are normal for some people, and trusting them is often a bad idea.

I would know this as this ruined a relationship with a friend of mine when I trusted them.

 

Why would I be offended? The jokes held you as a subject, not me.

Please consider what I said about self-diagnosis and being wary of it. Having known people who actually have multiple personalities, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that these personalities are not likely to know of each other unless someone else tells them that they are acting strangely and they do some detective work. The fact that you are aware of your 'insanity' and even embrace it proves that it is nonexistent. The personalities each have their own set of memories and it is difficult to change personalities at will. It makes it very hard to keep a relationship with anyone. It is not a condition to be bragging about.

The foil example is the same way. You just told me why what you did was insane. This shows that you are sane. The only perceivable reason that you would have for microwaving the foil while admitting that it is insane is to appear insane. Wanting to be insane does not make you insane. An insane person does not simply do things that insane people do. That can be done through imitation. Insane people do not and/or are not able to admit that they are being inefficient. They believe that they are perfectly fine. Because you do not have these traits and have not provided reasons other than your own claims, I will presume that you are a child wanting to be different until further notice.

Interesting. I'm impressed. Do you have a source for this? A Wikipedia article, maybe...?
