control your dream

[TheGirlNextDoor]

Never tried, don't think I could if I wanted to.

If I could, I'd pick much better dreams to have.

So, does anyone else see "pictures" when they close their eyes?

I occasionally see pictures, but more often, I hear things, as in hearing someone speak. It's always in that short space of time right before I am drifting off to sleep, and it wakes me back up. Sometimes, in addition to a voice, I feel a touch.

I've heard the voices also, but very briefly, just a few words. As for touch, with 3 full size cats using me as a pillow, I could be infested with ghosts and not realize it.

I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in this. I believe I would be considered mentally fit, it doesn't affect my behavior, it's just weird, that's all.

Yeah it's a little weird, but stranger things have happened to me, so it doesn't bother me. In fact, I find it pretty fascinating overall, and when I can recall well, I jot it down. I suspect it's just some type of subconscious images or thoughts getting through, but when it does shock me a little, is when I recognize the voice, and that does happen from time to time.

Lucid dreams suck. The few times I recall having experienced one, I freaked out after failing to immediately awaken myself. **** all that. When I sleep, I wanna be offline.

I've had incidents that I supposed would fit the criteria of "Lucid Dreaming" dozens of times over the course of my life. They are not pleasant for me. When they occur they are rarely pleasant and I end up waking up in the morning feeling like I haven't gotten any sleep at all. For me they tend to be slightly different though..... I know I'm asleep and that I'm dreaming but I have limited control, at best, of what's going on. The situations I'm in are rarely pleasant ones and no matter what I cannot find a way out of them. Not a pleasant experience at all, so far as I'm concerned, especially as it relates to my beliefs regarding dreams and what happens to the mind/soul when one sleeps.

Those are standard run of the mill anxiety dreams, I have them all the time. Usually I'm late to work and can't find my chainsaw.:lol:

Back when I used to do clearings I used to get that dream too. But they were so brief that they were not really easy to hijack. Even though I haven't done a clearing in years, every once in a while I'll have one of those" can't find my chainsaw" dreams or something is majorly wrong with my chainsaw. Like the chain is a rubber band or something.

And then one time I did hijack a bad chainsaw dream and turned my chainsaw into a light saber type of thingy that would effortlessly drop trees wherever I wanted them to drop. And then easily buck them out.

I have the anxiety type dreams the night before almost every shooting competition I'm involved in. They range from reaching for a magazine on my belt and finding it's phantasmal, to grabbing a mag only to find they're all empty, to drawing my gun only to find that it's a water pistol. Very strange inded.

I have 2 things to "contribute".

First, I have a pair of these glasses, not that brand, but effectively the same. I've had them for almost 30 years and have used them rarely now that I'm not the big druggie I was back in the day. O was more interested in what they contributed to sex than to dreams but they certainly do interesting things - to me.

I "lucid dream" the moment I close my eyes. I'm not asleep but imagery appears although I have very little control over what happens. Mostly, it's morphing, where one face becomes another amd another but sometimes there is a bit more of a "story line". I've never met anyone else that gets this effect although a few people said they get geomatics but not the elaborate visions that I get.

The glasses tend to evoke geometrics and they are a lot of fun.

So, I, each night, lie down, let the cats get into position on my feet and legs, close my eyes, watch the "pictures" and then I fall asleep. I have vivid dreams but I can never retain them.

Blink, blink, blink.

So, does anyone else see "pictures" when they close their eyes?

What you describe is not actually a lucid dreams. It's more like a remote viewing. I have these episodes many times. The last one I had was when I came down sick with black mold infection. During that time, especially at bedtime, I would be closing my eyes to sleep but then I would have a panoramic view of a mountainous landscape that looked like the Grand Canyons. At times it looked like I was looking at the craters of the moon surface or the jagged rock formation on the surface of an giant asteroid as seen in the movie "armageddon".

Then one night as I was recovery from the illness, I began to see the landscape of the north pacific coastline. At first I saw what seemed like big fishes or dophins flipping out of the seas in droves. As my vision get closer by zooming in, I saw they weren't fishes or dolphins but what I thought were penguins. I thought they were penguins because of their trademark black and white tuxedo outfit and the way they walking on land. But one thing about these "penguins" was that in my vision they could fly. But, just a week or two ago, I happened to buy a cereal with a picture and story about a creature that looked like penguins but could fly. They are called "Puffins". I never knew of Puffins before this. That kinda tells me that my remote viewing phenomenon was not my imagination but it was something real that I saw from a remote distance.

In the past, I would see houses of a town and sometimes inside a building going from room to room and hallway to hallway.

Ah, good. As I watch the morphings I look to see if I recognize them. In theory, I should have seen something similar but dumped it into an unused synapse and here it is coming back. But mostly, I see faces (highly detailed) or events that I can't possibly have seen unless I'm not who I think I am.

It's regrettable that it took an illness to trigger this in you. Fortunately, I am not bothered by these except when I have a point of view like drifting off the edge of a cliff or building. Then, I usually fall but gently, and I try to reach bottom but I usually can't before I morph into a completely different scene.

Nothing I see in these "visions" influences my behavior. I've seen similar under the influence of 'shrooms with my eyes open but these are drug-free images. I wish more people had them so I could diwscuss them without people looking at me sideways.

What the "nig building" is all about I don't know. Maybe my Mother was frightened by a cardboard box while carry me?

Before that I have been seeing morphing faces when I closed my eyes to sleep. I often use them to help me fall asleep. Sometimes I would close in on a pin point dot of light amid the dark background and hazing little dots when my eyes closed. The tiny point of light would slowly appear to turn round and round and growing until it became like a tunnel of light where I seemed to enter through it into another place in which certain landscape appears. Now, I don't have that anymore. I just fall asleep.

I still use this "technique" to put myself to sleep. Since, unlike a dream, there is no coherent story-line for the images, it usually puts me out in a few minutes.

When I use the glasses similar to the OP, I get mostly geometrics instead of face or body morphing.

Good to know someone else at least knows what I'm talking about.

Me too, until you brought this out for discussion I always thought I was the only one that came upon this mental visualization of morphing faces by coincidence that put me to sleep at one point in time which I had difficulty falling asleep. I think the morphing faces and the pin-point light led me to some kind of possible remote visualization that's somewhat like remote viewing.

But now of course I don't have all these phenomenons anymore since I fall asleep without any problem, at least for now.

As regards the glasses, I have never heard of them until now and still have no clue how they work.

The blinking leds splash across and through your closed eyelids and trigger geometrics, even for more "normal people". It's a harmless entertainment. The sequences purport to be relaxing or stimulating pre-sets. I question the efficacy of that but they're really just hippie-like amusements. I think.

Thanks. I don't think I need entertainment or amusement to go to sleep. So I don't think I need it then. :mrgreen:

My mind is amusing enough to keep me from sleeping. What I need is to be able to turn it off. :lol:

A Brief Foray Into Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is a highly desirable state of consciousness in which you realize you're dreaming, but you remain asleep. With practice, lucid dreamers can learn to control their dreams, fly around, breathe underwater, talk to Aristotle, go to a Jimi Hendrix concert, whatever they can conjure. Lucid dreaming was celebrated in cult films like Waking Life (my favorite movie ever), and there's an awesome list of other references on Remee's Kickstarter page.

Conventional wisdom holds that one way to begin lucid dreaming is to remind yourself that you're dreaming. That's what the Remee lucid dreaming mask is supposed to do. It uses a timer, and its red LEDs blink patterns over your eyelids while you sleep. If you time it right, allegedly, you'll see visual disturbances while you dream that will jar you into lucidity.

I've had one lucid dream that I can remember. I was about 18, visiting Hong Kong, jet-lagged out of my mind. I dreamt I was back at my old elementary school, which was uncanny enough that I realized I was dreaming. I immediately tried to fly. It worked for a few seconds. I got about 20 feet off the ground before my expectations about the laws of gravity set in, and I sank back to the ground, forgetting I was dreaming. It was briefly amazing, though. I've wanted to regain that power ever since.




Remee is a scam and here's why - Lucid Dreaming App

I had a barber that would always talk to me about lucid dreaming. He read all about it and shared with me. He said, "How do you know you are not dreaming now?" Basically he said you test yourself throughout the day to prove to yourself you are not dreaming. You try to fly. You know you can't so you don't and then you know you are awake. Now the trick of this isn't flying but to train yourself to test yourself constantly so that it becomes so routine and in that routine you develop you continue to test yourself through the night when do dream. You then test yourself when dreaming and when you can fly you now yo are dreaming and you take over your dream from there.

[Buck Ewer]

Lucid dreaming?
I have been programming my dreams for about forty years. About twenty minutes of deep meditation and auto suggestion before reclining for the night will do the trick.
Dream what you want. I have solved many complex problems through creative dreaming.
If you can bring yourself to look at your feet in any dream, you can take it anywhere you want to go.
If you want super intense dreams ... put on a nicotine patch about half an hour before bedtime and leave it on.
It's like 3D, day-glo, turbo-technicolor.
