I've been practising dreaming and lucidity for a few years now and consider myself quite good at it, so I can offer some tips that worked for me.

1. Keep a dream journal under your pillow, and write in it as soon as you wake up. Just write whatever you can, even if it's short or fragmented.

2. Read your dream journal before you go to sleep. This seems to remind you of what a dream is, which will help you distinguish between dreams and reality, and also help you remember your dreams better.

3. Find something that can tip you off as to whether you're in a dream or not, and occasionally test this in reality. I choose to try to float, as I can always achieve this in my dreams, and it looks totally inconspicuous irl.

4. Have an idea of what you want to do in a lucid dream before you have the dream. If you spend too much time thinking during your dream it will make you wake yourself up. Instead, as soon as you're lucid, start doing what you want and focus more on the action than the thoughts involved.

Hope that helps!! :)

Dream History?
I'll start
>Dreams as a kid
Space & other worlds, running/fighting danger, and somehow dreams of friends I would come to meet.
>Dreams as a teen
The constant feeling of being followed/Watched, running/fighting an unknown force, and some other emotional stuff (loss of a child, etc.)
>Resent Dreams
Running from myself, the constant feeling of hopelessness that comes from depression, logical and rationally planing my own death, Some times even carrying it out, and then end up laughing/crying because something will happen where it wont work.

>pic unrelated

>As kid
Expolring. Often with family. School. Very absurd sometimes. Bright colours. Occasionally 2 Dimensional with me looking on, like a drawing. Driving cars.
There is one I clearly remember which centered on a battle with medival-esque weapons and armour at my school. The rendering of the violence was similar to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I also remember one where there were geometic shapes in pastel colous moving slowly over a plain background with a high pitched screeching noise. I had it quite a few times over the couse of several years.

>As a teen
I remember one vividly where basically my hand would run through a lawnmower. Really that was all that seemed to happen.
Also, school, sometimes very absurd things. I remember a dragon sticking its head into a classroom and eating some students before departing. Being stuck. Occasionally absurdly mundane ones. Also dreams about being the emporer. Generally all of these were 3D.

>Now
Technically still a teen for the next few months, but this is more 'late teens'.

Different languages, generally ones that I understand. Wierd perspectives (like I were really short or tall), also very wierd angles like I were standing at an angle on the floor. Walking alone at night and feeling sick. Otherwise I also have had some very wierd physical sensations that seem totally unrelated to what is going on in the dream. I cannot do anything about it and I cannot stop and rest or do anything about it.

I've had the same recurring dream since high school. It's about either meeting a girl at a party or being invited to a party by whoever I have been vaguely fixated on at the time. It always ends with her getting too drunk, trying to shag me but instead of us having sex I take her home, tuck her into bed and leave a note telling her to call me if she really want to go out and wasn't just looking for a shag, along with my number.

it's such an annoying and confusing dream.

weird surreal stuff. had one where the world was slowly deleting itself and everything looked dead and glitched out. No gore or blood though, this cat with half its body was like limping along. I was just observing. Every now and then I would have SUPER happy dreams, so happy id cry. A lot of my childhood memories i get mixed uo with my dreams

>as a teen
very sexual dreams but never ordinary ones. never had a wet dream either. the dreams were often very normal until i realized
its a dream at which point id fuarrrk pretty much anything. always disgusted me when i woke up a bit.

>now
dont remember my dreams often. No real theme to them anyways, now that im thinking they usually involve the loss of a pet but its not like especially frequent.

Anyone wanna give me a go? I lost some of what happened, but I'll try to give you the things that personally stood out to me.

My dream was similar to my normal life with a few minor changes. I was still the exact same person I am now. I was living a similar lifestyle to the one I'm living now. I was playing an odd video game in which I had a sister that was similar to the sister I have in the dreams "real life" and in real life. Earlier in the day of my dream I was playing my game. It was just a normal day. I had to do something and get off the game, so I left for whatever it was I had to do. Somehow, a man managed to murder my "real" sister in my dream, and I was consumed with rage. I was driving with another man, and we both killed the man who killed my sister. Then we somehow gained height due to something like a ramp, then we crash landed in the ocean that was in my video game. There was a bunch of pillar-like rock structures in the water, and I climbed atop one(at this poing, my view changed from first person to third persom). I may have prayed, and then my sister appeared in front of me. I began bawling at the top of my lungs at the site of her, and then my hiew transitioned to the "real" me outside of the video game, where I was also crying while staring at the TV screen and holding my controller. The dream went on for a while after this, but it was essentially just like ordinary life.

complete amateur here, so sorry if I'm wrong.
>>1820
what I'm getting from this is you're very attached to your sister and fear her getting involved with a bad person you don't trust. in this case, you fear the worst might happen - that she'll die and you'll never see her again. this isn't to say you think she shouldn't be with any man, as indicated by the friend who helps you get revenge. he represents a "good man", or just somebody who you've met and trust. maybe you don't have enough trust in her judgment, or maybe you just think she needs a man to protect her.

the inner/outer dreams part is more interesting. maybe the reason why your dream reality is just like actual reality is because on some level, you question its realness? like not that you think you're living in the matrix but more like you see everything around you as a projection onto the world, just like you were living in your own fantasy. the fact that your sister is consistent through all of this shows that she's connected to a lot of this doubt, maybe it's that you doubt her personality and decisions like I mentioned earlier, or maybe it's that you doubt your perceptions of her. the fact that your videogame has her in common as well might show that you have this constructed image which you turn to as a kind of painkiller - like you're distracting yourself almost? the way one normally would with videogames.

okay, so after the girl dies in the dream your entering the dream in the car shows how dream-you tries to escape into self-delusion after the death of someone you hold dear and becoming a murderer. the fact that male friend sticks around for the ride shows how male friend is actually just a reflection of yourself (it's a dream so you are all one anyway).

the videogame world could also represent the afterlife, since you died after killing the guy and driving into the ocean. in that case the crying as you wake up from the game could be a kind of reincarnation, in that you have a desire to be reborn after your sister died.

I also see the waking up from the videogame as part of the delusion - if your sister's death was inside a game the entire time, then it must not have happened. could also be your subconscious saving you from the implications of playing out the death of your sister, after seeing how far you would go, or that there was no more need to keep on simulating Post too long.

Thank you for giving me your interpretations. Yes, lately I have been questioning the authenticity of my reality, so you're absolutely correct on that. I've been feeling increasingly disassociated, the other day I felt as though every step that I took was only possible by the work of some kind of puppet master. But as for the sister thing, I don't really even talk to my sister at all. I know it's horrible to say, but besides having an emotional attachment to her due to seeing her since she was born 13 years ago, she isn't a very large part of my life.

I had vivid one last night

it starts off and it's christmas and my parents have invited all my old friends from primary and highschool who I never see. at first I'm panicking because I think they are going to ask me hard questions I don't have answers to like "what are you up to" and "why did you stop talking to us for no reason" but they are all being really cool, and we are all having a good time.

then we decide to go out and we are in a fictional city which has been part of a few of my dreams before but not very often. we are going to go to a weed smoking club and we are smoking all the way as we walk there. we get to the club and a big fat black bouncer is keeping us out, I ask if we will ever get in and he says he's not stoping us it's just a slow queue and have a chat with him he turns out to be really friendly.

then he tells me to look up and instead of bending my neck I try and lean back to see up the building. once I get far back enough I cans see some guy one floor up spitting down on us, we avoid his spitting and get in.

it turns out this club is a rollerblading disco thing and all the weed smoking goes on in the changing room which is all glass so you can see the people rolling about. at this point I realise everyone in this place is black apart from me, and two of the people who I came in with, the friend who told us about it is now a skinny black kid. suddenly he gets a call from his dad complaining about all his weed smoking, he hands me his joint and goes out to talk to his dad. as I watch him leave I realise the entire roller blade hall is hot boxed, the smoke is so thick you can't even see past the windows any more, every one in the changing room explodes with laughter because we all realised it at the same time.

the joint he gave me is now massive, wrapped with a banana leaf instead of paper and lit at both ends, one side is smaller and has less ash so I draw from that side. I take a huge draw it's like a cartoon watching the thing burning up closer to my mouth. I take it out, hold my breath as long as I can and exhale the smoke. only the smoke doesn't rise it just floats away at mouth level and there are lots of cinders in it too.

then the joint gets passed about and some fat chink I've never met tries to steal it and I fight him for it, this is where I wake up.

I never got why dreams are always shown to be like magical wonderlands straight out of a fantasy novel like pic related. For me at least, whenever I can remember my dreams, they're more just like daily life with more distortion. It's sorta like living out a late alpha/ early beta of a game. I never got the vivid fantasy, just a scrapbook of people and places from my life. Anyone else have this?

I was watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles yesterday and Cameron the cyborg, who does not dream, is looking at a Dali painting and asks John if dreams are really like that. The thing is, I don't believe Dali meant to paint direct imagery from his dreams but rather something that would point the brain of the viewer in that direction by suggesting certain things, because it's pretty much impossible to capture a dream on canvas anyway. These fantasy landscapes might be seen as an attempt at something similar (though I will admit they don't do anything for me on a subliminal level even if some of them are kinda pretty to look at).

I think that the content of most dreams has to do with the mental associations people have with things. People who think about fantastical things or movies a lot, who describe their perceived realities in terms of the books they've read, or ideas they've had, can project those ideas in the dreamscape.

I feel like I have had a lot of dreams with things that were very strange. Like if any moment you paused the (dream)world and took a snapshot it would defenitly not look like real life to anyone but those who are blind. I have a lot of dreams where the world is really wierd seeming. Certainly there are some where all that seems to have happened is that I am at school and something happens strange (where probably the background could be grey for all I care), but there are some where certainly everything seems very wierd and this sort of scene would not be too strange in principal. I agree, with the general assesment of alpha-game-iness. Things can be wierd often absurd, and certainly they do not make sense. This scene, at first glance looks pretty polished and therefore implausible.

However, after looking at more than just the thumbnail image I noticed that I liked this picture rather a lot more because it is really bad in a lot of ways. It looks more polished than a dream, still, perhaps (but a dream seems sort of like a wierd self-polishing thing that cannot really be takes at one frame and evaluated), but it defenitly is flawed in many ways.

Therefore, too me, this picture seems like a fine generic representation of dreams. Certainly it is fantasy, but the principal of it is that it looks alright at first. But really it is pretty screwy.

My dreams are always this hazey mess of things I know IRL, but much more realistic than fantastical

However that's not always the case. I've had a few dreams where the setting was fantastical: strange white mists in a forest, massive alien waves engulfing the Earth, being below a relatively vivid waterfall/rock face, very bright settings, nonsensical urban environments that are possible but not present IRL

I can say that geography is out the window, like when my current home is across the streets from my elementary school

Last night I dreamed that I was in a mansion that was similar to my house, became lucid and tried to find something to do. It was a silent and dim-lighted room, and there was a girl's backpack in a couch. Called out loud to see if someone was in the house, tried to cast the girl, tried with that technique where you imagine someone's voice behind you so when you turn around your brain autocompletes the person in that place but it didn't work. I couldn't do anything so I spilled my soykaf started kicking the backpack around the room.
A similar thing happened the night before, it was pretty frustrating.

>stay lucid
It's a matter of concentration. Remember that your mind is the CPU processing what you feel and your subconscious is like the GPU.
>add/remove/change things and people
>appear in any location you want
I'm not good at these.
>wake up only when you want to
I try to avoid closing my eyes or going to dark areas in dreams, doing that makes me open my eyes in waking life and wake up.

Dream skills work very similar to the effects in Yume Nikki - you can trigger them by invoking them, basically having the effect in your mind and thinking "GO!" Imagine the idea of an A button in your mind, and imagine hitting that button, lol.

I have a few rituals that I do when I'm exploring - If I run into something scary, I pull a blanket out of hammerspace and hide behind it- it makes me invisible! Banishing rituals help, too.
>>1805
If you want to travel somewhere, then take the symbolic representation of the location you want to go/person you want to see, and hold that image in front of you in your mind. Pound that A button and keep focused on the image and you'll find yourself there, your surroundings will fill themselves in.

>stay lucid
Staying lucid is mostly presence of mind. If you lose focus of where you are and what you're doing it's easy for your mind to just fall back into the dream.

>add/remove/change things and people
Mostly there's just a knack to it. You'll pick it up. It's like learning to control your throat muscles or something. The subconscious stuff to handle it is already there and working you just need to tap into it. Just practice and be patient. It can feel like you're getting nowhere but eventually it will click.

>appear in any location you want
Teleportation in dreams is actually incredibly common and most of the travel required for dreams to make sense is just glossed over, however it can cause some problems due to the fact that we're not at all used to the idea of teleporting. You can get round this by just using incredibly fast and convenient transport but I think as you spend more time lucid stuff like teleporting just starts to seem more plausible to you.

There's a lot of little tricks like this that can help in one way or another and I do recommend using them, but it's important to remember that they're just magic feathers. Your subconscious doesn't really need imaginary super cars or whatever in order to understand what you want. With that in mind coming up with your own techniques is a good idea. Your subconscious will have an easier time working with them because in a way it had a hand in making them.

>wake up only when you want to
A lot of people wake up right after becoming lucid. It's something that fades as becoming lucid becomes more commonplace for you. The root problem is becoming disconnected with the dream. The person notices they're lucid and starts thinking about that instead of the dream itself. If you notice you're waking up you need to ground yourself back in the dream. Say something to the people around you or do something or otherwise focus back on it.

I'm okay at this, mostly because my lucidity is so casual. I've been aware of my dreaming since I was a kid, so it's nothing special to me. Thus I'm not sure if I'm 'staying lucid' in any given dream

>add/remove/change things and people

I slept with pic related in one bed. We woke up by the hydraulic movement of the house. Rin was pissed off for some reason.

A helicopter took us to the city, where I met a black singer, I didn't know. That was a shame.

Later I escaped the fearsome helicopter flight and was hunted by some kind of soldiers with a black hound. I transformed into a rabbit and hid behind a bush. The dog found me and growled, but I did likewise and managed to chase him off.

I realized how much power I had, did the breathing reality test and became lucid. As there were no people around to mess with, I tried to fly, but could barely levitate to the roof. This roof then stretched like a fractal in the sky. I followed it upwards until I hit some cave ceiling.

Hey /zzz/. I have problems with my dreams, or should I say, lack there of. I can't remember any of my dreams. I go to sleep and then I wake up, with no in-between. On the rare occasion I remember one, its never a nightmare, but it is very vivid. I have never experienced sleep paralysis either. I think dreams are an important part of life and I want to at lest remember experiencing them. Has anyone had issues like I'm having?

I sleep well but I do have moderate insomnia. If I go to bed at a reasonable time I wake up rested, but if I sleep ~4-5 hours my brain feels foggy. I don't have trouble falling asleep once I'm in bed. I usually listen to an audio book as I'm falling asleep. On a good day I sleep about 7 hours.

Has anyone had experienced them?

I'll explain myself. Almost every time I get sick (usually anything involving a fever), sleeping becomes a horrible experience. It's not that I keep having nightmares, it's more of a dream-like state characterized by intense repetition of some random stimulus. Something like a short GIF repeating inside of my head for at least 3 hours non-stop with no option to interrupt it. Sometimes it evolves into a short dream where I repeat a menial task for at least 1 hour with lots of pressure I can't really explain. Last night I had to endlessly climb stairs while still being half-awake and hearing the whirring of the computer fans. After that came the "dream" where I opened doors following nonsensical instructions uttered from the dark for a long, long while. I knew I was dreaming and had a horrible time but at the same time I didn't have the strength to interrupt the dream.

When I "wake up" from this weird state, there's a short period where I can't control my own thoughts and this weird dream is still lingering while I recover conscious control of my mind again. I always have to get up and listen to music or watch anime to get rid of those thoughts. After that I can finally sleep in peace, but I've already lost a good 4 hours of my night and wake up feeling like crap.

I'm not exaggerating the time spans here, I always give my watch a glance right after waking up.

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I also experience the same stuff when I'm sick.

I remember having to solve some long algebraic equation and measuring some bench and counting the number of gear's teeth which keeps increasing in size. It was pitch black and the bench, the numbers and other stuff are white. Everything was repeating over and over again and I can't solve it even though I'm counting one by one to a point I don't know what to do after I woke up and I rushed into the sink and washed my face, I was breathing heavily.

It was a fuarrrking nightmare, my last dream when I was sick again is that crucified Jesus kept on falling flat on the floor repeatedly. I'm only spectating and don't know what to do, if I remember some dog or cat woke me up from the nightmare.

I often dream of knifes and being stabbed or cut. Two nights ago I had a dream loop where one guy wanted to stab me.

1st round he simply stabbed me in the chest and I died.

2nd round I stabbed him in the back, but he didn't care and killed me nonetheless.

3rd round I tried to defend myself against the knife attack with bare hands, resulting in horribly pain from deep cuts to the bone.

There possibly were more loops I forgot. I woke up teeth crunching and sweating with dream pain still in my hands.

I had a really vivid dream when I was around the age of six. It was the second one I ever recall having.

I find myself standing on a sidewalk in a suburban neighborhood, looking at a darkening sky. Clouds gather, and a vortex opens up in the sky, its currents sucking everything down it's funnel like water down a sky drain. The sky turns a velvety purple, then bolts of lightning start crashing down around me, lighting up my vision with pillars
of flame. Everything goes bright, and then I'm astride a motorcycle, being sucked up in the midst of the
storm, like a cow in an upside-down tornado. I try to see into the center of the vortex, to try to understand it, but as soon as I do... I hear a noise like high pitched static and suddenly I feel like my mind's been pried wide open,
and it's full of black and red streaks, shaking around violently fast. It gets more and more
vivid, and this maelstrom of craziness keeps shaking, faster and faster, red veiny tendrils unfold and snake around everything. Suddenly, there's a big crack in it all. I look through it and I feel the presence of something...
beastly and powerful.

I get scared that it's Satan and I wake up sweating, my heart beating very fast, my whole body tingling as the feeling fades away.

The ones you have while travelling on a bus or in a car, during class, waiting somewhere, etc. Ones that can get interrupted by people talking to you, or something happening where you open your eyes or respond and then close your eyes again and try to continue where you left, sometimes successfully. maybe you even know you are daydreaming, but want to make that scene happen anyway.

i had one while travelling on and old, loud bus while listening to this noisy ambient drone metal thing. It was dark, and the bus was mostly empty so i had two seats to occupy. i was sitting on the inside row, and i remember that i had to balance myself in order not to fall out or lean towards the window. i also opened my eyes sometimes to check where we had been at the moment. the dream itself was short, and some parts were repeated or altered, i'm not sure. black and white, similar to the pictures

basically, there was a huge plowed piece of land, and at one side of it there was a 12-15 meter tall stone tower. it had the shape of a thick sword, and had no interior, it was more like a monument. at the bottom of the tower, there was a little pit, again made of stone, with five or six inches of very clear water. there were also some people with white faces and black clothes, who were just standing around waiting. every day or week, a person would arrive with vivid images of the stone tower in their mind, and they would show different reactions when actually seeing it for real. they arrived from all over the world, and they only knew that they had to find it and go near, but none knew what to do after. when they arrived, the agents in black would undress the person who arrived, and put them into the pit. there, these people would immediately become omniscient, knowing everything that has ever happened or will happen, and understanding how things are connected. i didn't really see signs of this, just knew this happened. however they also stopped moving or reacting to the world in any way, they would just lie there like corpses, with open eyes staring to whatever direction their face was looking. at this point, the agents took the person out of the pit, and placed him on a carpet and wrapped them in a blanket for the rest of the day, while they just stared into everything without moving at all. i kind of felt what they could have for a few seconds, and one interesting point was that they knew what was goPost too long.

>short nap
it doesn't count as a daydream if you were asleep.

I was daydreaming before I fell asleep last night.
I had earbuds in and was listening to...

Swimming in the Flood by Passion Pit and when I was in HS, I was in the orchestra so I was there, witnessing my orchestra play Passion Pit but then I remembered that we don't have a percussionist in our orchestra or a singer, or anything.

It's depressing to admit this but I have the same ones over and over lately. All of them are either meeting someone who falls in love with me (and then we have sex (usually oral)) or they involve me delivering street justice to some prick who deserves it. Most of these are not real people or even based on real people I've met, just fabrications. Imaginary friends almost.

The library grows but it's still just a library; I replay the same tapes over and over in my head. Sometimes I flip back and forth between two or more like flipping channels on TV. I am suffering from a lack of imagination lately I guess.

I'm wondering where people write their dreams. I usually type it out half asleep in my phone and then transfer it onto paper later.
Sometimes when I'm too tired to do that, I tell myself to remember 3 words, but they usually don't make sense so it doesn't work ("cigars", "lines", "hand" but what does it mean???). Stupid tired me.
I have a notebook in which I try to draw some scenes of it, maybe color it, but then again the notebook is filled with other stuff like me writing in code (I made up) for pages about mushroom and plant life, meteorology, and other soykaf like card reading and alchemy. I also write poetry and that's shoved in some pages. I'm disorganized.

Haven't tried that one yet but it sounds like a good idea. You could replay previous ones as you fall asleep and see if it has an effect on your dreams that night.

As for privacy, if you have a car, you can record your audio notes while driving alone or do it at a park.

I don't write my dreams down. I use the voice recorder function on my phone so I can mumble all the details that I can remember and then listen to it later.

It's very interesting. There's often things that I have absolutely no recollection of. Sometimes there's recordings I cannot remember making as well. Listening to the recordings only jogs my memory about half the time.

I don't live alone either. If I failed to record a dream immediately after waking up then I go to my car or just wait until I am alone in the house to record.
I also record my waifu's drug trip reports this way so privacy is essential.

This is a top idea! I'm tempted to start. I read somewhere that muscle movement of any kind after you wake up causes you to start forgetting your dreams (and it seems true in my case, even getting up to pee I'll forget something by the time I get back). This you could do without even rolling over in bed, just reaching for the nightstand.
