bedtime

Lucid dreaming is a state of sleep where a person is still able to maintain a certain level of self awareness, even while dreaming and can thus control their dreams to a certain extent. Who has experienced it? How did it work out for you?

I was never able to survive this .... focus in as most, but after a while when I think I'm in a lucid dream, I fall asleep and wake up in the morning sleepy

If i can i like manipulating my dreams though i usually wake before being able to do much then i just lie there and try to continue my dream.

When I gain consciousness in a dream I always wake up. Hence my dreams always end right before the climax and I never get to find out what would have happened if I tried to fight that giant yellow hairy ogre thing chasing me, or if I took the hand that was extending from my computer screen. :(

^ I agree with that XD Always ends at the exciting part. I never beat the dungeon boss, escaped the maze, slayed the land shark, beat Misty in a pokemon battle, caught the fairy, and numerous other endings.

>.< it sounds like so much fun... but the extent of my dream control would probably be in day dreaming...

I'm never able to control my dream :( .. And when I wake up, I usually forget my dream :(

At some point I know that I'm actually dreaming so I kinda mange to turn the dream into my liking.
But when I wake up, I forget almost everything -_-

If I dream it's always "lucid" pretty damn fast.

Doesn't take much to realize "This is fake..." "This isn't right..." etc., etc. pretty fast.

Then it just becomes "Well, go along with it or open my eyes and get up.." since actually dreaming usually means I've slept a long time.

Lately I always dreaming that I'm driving fast, then I couldn't hit the break just in time to avoid crash. It's either falling of the cliff, falling into the river or hitting the vehicle in front.
Kinda annoying when you realized that your leg kicking while sleeping when you dream about that.
