Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

Ah, the things found in The Flood forum...

Goodbye...

Gah... I recently had a really disturbing dream, first time I've had a dream in years. And I managed to turn it into a lucid dream, which made it fun and even more disturbing at the same time.

"I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade...
It may be he shall take my hand, and lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath...
I have a rendezvous with Death...
And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous."
-Alan Seeger

I actually had the "dream within a dream" thing happen to me recently, it was crazy! When I woke up, my body felt so HEAVY, it actually hurt to get out of bed, I was just like, "What the hell is going on... Why do I hurt everywhere?!?"

Crazy stuff, it's interesting though!

I've had lucid dreams before, they are really cool.

It felt like i was waking up, but i wasn't and i knew i wasn't. For me they just happen every now and then, most of the time i am just too interested in the dream or too sleepy to actually make it into a lucid dream.

This sounds so awesome. I want to try this but setting an alarm is the only part I have a conflict with.

Wow, I thought I was special because I could control my dreams since I was 12 but apparently it's an already known fact. I already do all of these except for when it starts to fade I never shout or spin I'll try it next time.

My experience: I had an idea to try and see myself sleeping while in a lucid dream. Then I tried stealing stuff and putting it in my pockets ( The "Real" me I saw in dream) but I woke up with nothing there :(

Even if you are lucid dreaming, you will still remember less than 1 percent of it simply because if you can remember your dreams fully (like in Inception) they will get stored in your hippocampus as memories,thus creating the illusion the dream is real.

That's why we evolved to
a) not lucid dream easily( for most people)
b) forget most of our dreams (even IF they are lucid)

So can lucid dreaming regularly lead to confusion of the line between reality and created memories?

Possibly, I've remembered things that haven't happened before there's a chance they were lucid dreams.

Or it was just the power of suggestion.

I'm happy with my accidental lucid dreams.

The concept is all that really matters.

First (and only) lucid dream I had was when I was little. I had a dream that I was in a boarding school from England with uniforms. Somehow, I remembered that I'm not from England, but from Texas. I then realize that this is a dream, so what was the first thing I did? The correct answer: fly. C'mon, you know you want to. ;)

I tend to remember dreams vividly, especially dreams from years and years ago. Like when I was about 2 or 3 I dreamt that I was flying with Peter Pan and the gang around Big Ben.

I may just be rambling on, but you know what: a thread like this isn't common, so I wanna make the most of it. I could go on with another extremely vivid dream that I wrote a page and a half of....

feel free to post any dream or anything you have even if it takes up 1 1/2 pages, its still interesting and can potentially cause others to have similar tonight.

GGGGGGggggggggggggGGGG

I used to be able to know I was in dreams, when I was young.
It was pretty cool, because I could wake myself up whenever I wanted.

Mine started disturbing. Here's what happened.

Backstory: Back when I was 10, I bought Pokémon Emerald. Yes, I am the famed guy here who talks about it all the time. Anyhow, when reading the instruction booklet for the first time, I ended up having one of those 'love at first sight' moments with the Emerald version of May/Sapphire. Even as I grew up, I never lost that attraction to her. It was around this time that I stopped having dreams, no idea why.

Just over a week ago. I had just finished up an old runthrough of Emerald version, after not playing it for several years. Anyhow, after kicking some ass at the frontier, I went to bed. I guess not having dreams built up or something, because this is what happened.

I appeared in the Hoenn region, in the skies over Southern Island. I began falling, and impacted the ground of Southern Island, leaving a huge crater. I got up, not feeling a thing. Then I realized I looked different, and with no small shock, realized I ended in May's body, not having control over my movements, very disturbing. It was at this point I was able to turn it into a lucid dream, which got me control.

It got epic after this. I caught Latios and Latias, travelled around Hoenn, and stopped the crisis between Groudon and Kyogre with Rayquaza. After this, I went to the Battle Frontier. Here, I woke up, and found out that I had been passed out in bed for 14 hours. Epic and disturbing at the same time. Some part of me liked it, though.

I've been trying for a while now, even kept the dream journal. Nothing D=

  • 05.20.2011 2:07 PM PDT

It's funny. The first time I had a lucid dream, I was isolated. Subconscious fear perhaps...Or maybe I watch too much Heroes?

A long time ago, with a Lucid Dream of mine. I realized I was dreaming, only after being faced with the task of saving my loved ones from a diabolical... old man? So I decided to transform into my then favorite Character, so creatively named 'Black Dragon.' Of course when I tried to do this... I was still me... just... I kept thinking.. 'okay... no use an energy ball and vaporize this guy.' No use, but I still punched him out. Yea, I punched out an Old man... who was Evil... somehow.

It did occur for a moment that I was in Third Person. I read that this is because I wasn't entirely confident in my Lucidity. This is true, because while I tried to become "Black Dragon," I kept doubting myself.

Wish you all the best luck with dreaming!

Try Kava root, it makes the dreams be more detailed.

No. The memories of the dream are simply your brain realizing that you are now in reality and what just happened was fake. It's not Inception, where you remember 100 percent of your lucid dreams. THEN you're screwed and would probably need a totem. Less than one percent is insignificant( just your brain "waking up" and noticing differences from the REM state).

In reality, those memories you had of the dream were probably tiny bits and pieces of the dream you had.

I actually had a wake induced lucid dream once, without even conciously trying for it. Basically I woke up for a dream and I was kinda annoyed by that, so I just laid back down and was thinking about my dream more and more, and then my body pretty much just...went to sleep I guess but my mind was active in the dream. It was incredibly different from a regular dream, because it was like I was half in it and half out of it...overall, I'd rather be in a regular dream than a wake induced one.
