it'd be cool though to just have sex dreams left and right ;D
I have this pretty much down to a science (at least one that works with my personal physiology), to the point where for a while I was actually running and journaling an ongoing "experiement" of sorts, including different outside influences, etc.
My personal secret is to stay awake for an abnormally long amount of time, something on the order of 20+ hours. When I do go to sleep, I tend to lucid dream very easily. You'd think it would be the other way around, where instead of being in a barely-conscious state, I'd be in a near-death coma due to sleep deprivation, but that's how I manage to do it.
A close second is sleep paralysis, which I usually experience if my lucid dream method fails. Now THAT was trippy the first few times, and even now. I actually learned that I snore thanks to that phenomenon. :laugh: On occasion I'll also have "phantom senses" during sleep paralysis where, for instance, I'll be seeing my arm thru the tiny crack in my eyelids, and I swear that someone is tapping/pressing/rubbing my arm (a pinpointable sensation as if you were awake but with your eyes closed, it's THAT real), but I'm looking right at said arm and nothing is contacting it. :shocked:
The first time I had a lucid dream was accidental, when I was in my early teens and a hardcore RPG gamer... so I made myself this crazy hack-and-slash warrior with a supporting party, adventuring thru these ancient caverns and trying to find an altar with a treasure or something. As soon as I got there, the caverns start collapsing and we grabbed the treasure and rushed to escape... not the most original plot I know, but fun as all hell
I guess I am lucky to have such a wierd ability.

here's a trick. when you think you are dreaming, look at your hands, they will appear blurry or just not be right, ie, you will have 3 fingers on the left hand and 4 fingers on the right. once you see that it would hit you that you are assleep.
Worth a shot as well. Remember that these are all very hit-or-miss methods that vary widely in their effectiveness depending on the individual. For instance, my method of staying awake for a long stretch might just leave you miserable the next morning with no lucid dream. I know for a fact that the above would not personally work for me. I am either in control of the dream or not in control--there is never a "realization" point where control is handed to me due to my noticing of something that would not be real. Often I'm fully aware I'm dreaming, but in auto-pilot.
(On a side note, another thing that doesn't seem to apply to me is the belief that you can't read in your dreams because the right-brain is responsible for dreaming while the left-brain is responsible for character cognition... But I read signs, papers, etc. all the time in my dreams. Again, its a very individual science that I don't believe can be boiled down to a "formula".)
when this happened to me, i had total control of my dream. i knew i was dreaming and that there would be no consiquences. first thing i did was i saw a group of ppl jogging by a gas stattion, i was in the gas station, and i went up to one and hit him in the face. he continued on jogging. then i went to a girls car where she was pumping gas, i took her to the back seat and had sex with her. i was about to come, but didn't want to because i wanted to have sex with a diff chick. so i went to a different car, girl was in it, and we had sex again.
then i had a false awakening, that i was driving on the freeway. then i woke up for real.
Yes, sexual lucid dreams are teh sh1znit. Like I said before, I seem to simulate most of my senses while lucid dreaming, so you know I wake up smiling :thumbsup:
