Lucid Dreaming?

I'd like to lucid dream... But I've got one major problem with it. When I'm trying to recall dreams.

I don't know... it seems as if I'm in a very deep sleep when I'm sleeping, I've been a late to school a couple of times because I couldn't hear the alarm go off.

Can anyone comfirm this please? Are we in a more deep state when we're concentrating on dreaming and recalling em.

Usually when I wake up after a bad dream, I find myself surrounded in yellow substance.

There is a larger differences between these guys and normal people, than between apes and normal people..

I didn't know you could train yourself to lucid dream.

I've been doing it for most, if not all of my life. I always remember my dreams and I've always had the ability to know I'm dreaming and to change them as I see fit. I can also wake myself up if I need to. It's just natural to me to be able to do so.

Last night I dreamt about a friend of mine and while talking to him I decided to have him turn blonde with long hair and change his outfit.

well from what i've read, we tend to dream when we are in stage 5 of our sleep. REM. Rapid eye movement, roughly 90 minutes from falling asleep, but each sleep cycle is 100 minutes long, so we vividly dream for about ten minutes to begin with. But the more we sleep, stages 4 and 3 waver and so our dream stage increases the longer we sleep. We can dream at other times, but the most vivid are then

That is a ludricrous statement with no scientific basis. If you wish to dispute my (and the rest of the scientific world's opinion), please reference your claims with the relevant primary literature. Otherwise, don't believe everything people tell you. Thank you.

I hate lucid dreams.

A few nights ago I dreamt that I was in a pub except it wasn't an ordinary pub. Instead of serving beer they were serving breast milk. There were a bunch of naked ladies lying on couches with grown men suckling. I woke up feeling nauseous.

I dislike lucid dreams - after a long day, I just want to relax, and switch off - not effectively have to live out another day. It also makes it difficult sometimes to know if what you're experiencing is real or a dream - I once read somewhere that you should twist around, and if the scene changes, it's a dream. I tried it though, (in a dream that I knew was a dream) and it didn't work, I just felt like a fool. However, I find that if I stare hard at something in front of me, and will it to change, it will if it's a dream, but not in reality.

I'm the same as BlackHawk, I've almost always been able to do it. I learnt how after a series of really scary nightmares when i was about 4/5 - after that, nightmares held no power over me, because the minute a dream got loose from my control, and turned nasty, I would wake myself up.

I've also experienced sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations - one of which involved waking up to find myself in a burning inferno (sight and sound, but no smell or heat sensations). I can honestly say I've never been so scared in my life - although the logical part of me realised that (because I couldn't feel any heat from the fire, or smell it) it must be imaginary, the more gullible half of me was convinced I was about to die a horrible and painful death.

Be careful what you wish for
