Hey fairy_dreams

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh, I actually get on the bad mood sometimes when I illogicaly feel like there’s something wrong outside of my dream even though I have to wake up. But I’ve had some lucid dreams before, but most of them aren’t too realistic. I am luckily able to get up at 7 PM in the morning without an alarm clock.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh, judgement is only if I had used adjectives to describe someone on CC. That’s why I forfeited an assumption to someone who I do not know physically.</p>

<p>I suppose that I could set an alarm on my phone. Thanks for the recommendation!</p>

<p>The clock method doesn’t involve an alarm clock. Throughout the day, one is supposed to wear a watch and check it occasionally throughout one’s state of consciousness. This process is supposed to be replicated during one’s dreams. If one looks away and looks back at the clock during a dream and identifies an alternative time, one is lucid.</p>

<p>Haha, no problem. And on weekend, I force myself to get up at a certain time, or else I feel like I have wasted the morning or I’ll see that I’d be in, like, 6th period or something.</p>

<p>My phone charges in a place easily accessible from my bed, and I use it as an alarm clock for the times I don’t get up on time anyways. Most phones you can do that. </p>

<p>As far as sleeping is concerned, however, I have a sneaky suspicion that my brain is unable to fully shut down. :S Not very good.</p>

<p>^^^^ Haha, you kind of insinuated it. idk,</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Fairy_dreams, you mind bumping it back to the first screen?</p>

<p>

I think they resemble spheres and roll around randomly like a hamster in a ball. </p>

<p>

I’m definitely not condoning this, but have you looked into polyphasic sleeping? And you can get stuff done if you become an efficient lucid dreamer. People solve chemistry problems, practice speeches, learn a new piano song, rob a bank, etc. haha. Not very practical time-wise, but interesting nevertheless.</p>

<p>

Does the whole “if you talk on your cell, you can get cancer” thing apply to sleeping next to your cellphone as well? Or is the whole thing a myth?

Unfortunately, it was deleted.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh, I don’t think that ever happened to me. But it’s imaginary as if you would’ve saw it from a cartoon show.</p>

<p>The “cancer” thing (if it’s real, and I don’t believe in it myself :P) applies to any cell phone that’s on, because it is always emitting EM radiation. I don’t have cancer yet myself, but that’s hardly conclusive proof that it’s false :S</p>

<p>Oh, btw…what’s a lucid dream?</p>

<p>I would NEVER polyphasic sleep (also, with school, it’s hard). Though I sometimes take naps (but only one…). I guess you haven’t seen the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer does this…oh, robbing banks, I guess I will then! :P</p>

<p>^Both are myths.</p>

<p>No, I would set my phone away from me. Whenever someone calls me at 4 am or 5 am, I’m still enabled to hear it, so I should be able to hear the alarm.</p>

<p>That is not a method to become lucid. That’s solely a strategy in determining whether or not one is lucid.</p>

<p>“enabled.”</p>

<p>Lol @ thread. :)</p>

<p>

Oh, I remember reading about this. It also applies to any type of writing. Unfortunately, my dreams are rather primeval so I rarely see clocks/words. I suppose I could conjure up some cave art :P</p>

<p>I tried the finger method too. It worked well with my hand fixation. haha. But I’ve found that I usually turn lucid when I see other human beings. “What?! A human being! That’s impossible! I must be dreaming!”</p>

<p>Most of the times I’ve turned lucid is when a person starts walking towards me. It’s so weird.</p>

<p>What is the finger method?</p>

<p>What is lucid??</p>

<p>You basically stare at your own hands periodically and count them to see if there are five fingers. And stare at other people’s hands to see if they have five fingers as well.</p>

<p>So thanks to that method, I can now basically identify people by their hands :stuck_out_tongue: It’s also disconcerting when you accidentally count wrong. Then you question reality within reality. Which is kinda the point I guess…</p>

<p>Same here actually. I realize that I’m dreaming quite often, but then I fall back to sleep before I get to do anything interesting.</p>

<p>leaf, lucid dreaming means that you are conscious within your own dream. You realize that you are dreaming and have full consciousness and total control (depending on your level of mastery and lucidity) over all aspects in your “dreamland”. In my experience, it feels exactly like the real world. I get cold, feel pain, etc. You can do anything you want, including but not limited to: robbing a bank, flying, solving a math problem, learning how to play a song, kiss Jessica Alba, etc.</p>

<p>My main goal of course, being the latter ;)</p>

<p>I’ll try to incorporate that method. Doesn’t turning serve as a benefactor as well?</p>

<p>Hopefully that will be beneficial.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s exactly what I did for a short period of time and it worked very well. Now I am too lazy to set my alarms so…</p>

<p>Yay! Thanks, Warts…and fairy…
I think the last time I had a lucid dream I woke up about 5 minutes after I noticed. I used to be really good at it.</p>
