2114.0. "Lucid Dreaming" by BGSDEV::LANGONE () Thu May 02 1996 16:42

    
    	Anyone had any experiences with lucid dreaming- being able
    	to consciously act out in your dreams?
    
    	I've had a couple of these experiences and it was helpful
    	in resolving some issues.

    HI
    
    Yes, dreams are powerful healing tools, your guides/angels definitely
    work to make lessons for you to learn. For me it's a lot of past issues
    getting resolved and absorbed, causing more healing/unity/wholeness.
    
    I think the idea is if you KNOW it's a dream, not much happens. If you
    'play' along, playing with the script, more can be accomplished. 
    
    Of course, there's also fun to be had!

    I think there's a difference between dreams and fantasies, Bill.

2114.5How to 'DO' a lucid dreamJGO::POMMERENMartijn van Pommeren@JGOThu Jul 25 1996 09:472
    What do you have to do to get/(uhhh, or DO) a 'lucid' dream anyway ????

    In my case, I had to do two things: recognize I was dreaming; avoid
    the panic which accompanied that realization (and which woke me up)!
    
    I settled on a method of recognizing the dream state by accident,
    really.  I noticed that a lot of my dreams (at that time, anyway)
    involved talking animals :-) so at bedtime I would remind myself that
    if any animals start talking to me, I'm *probably* dreaming.
    
    I had a few more talking-animal dreams before it actually occurred to
    me in the dream state that I might be dreaming, and that notion woke
    me right up (I think the panic is the fear of being "trapped" in the
    dream state).  So far I haven't been able to stay for long, but my
    fear has diminished considerably.
    
    Last night, in fact, I dreamed that I almost bumped into Dad as I
    walked into the living room (he died almost 2 years ago).  We both
    smiled, and I asked him how he is; he said he's fine... I then said,
    "You know, normally when I see you, I take it to mean that I'm
    dreaming," and we both smiled and continued to talk as if we both
    knew that this was no dream.  :-)  I wish I could remember everything
    we said, but at least I remember thanking him for his help lately. 
    There are times when I just *know* he's around, or when the answer to a
    problem is coming from him--perhaps something he told me long ago, but
    he's helping me remember it.
    
    Oddly enough, later last night I dreamed I was talking to my late SO,
    but I can't remember *anything* about that conversation, or whether I
    realized I was dreaming.  Shazbaat!

2114.7Do I Have Lucid Dreams?BIS1::BRIGGSChicken Tikka JalfrezziMon Jul 29 1996 11:1514
    This is the first time I've been reading this notes conference.  What
    are Lucid dreams?  
    
    I thought it was the dream state I have found myself in when I am dreaming
    and I'm not in a deep sleep, eg. after I've been disturbed and trying to go
    back to sleep.  I've noticed that these types of dreams are 'believeable'.
    What I mean by this is when I have a dream in deep sleep, you know when you
    wake up it was a dream, however, the type of dream I have just mentioned 
    leaves me thinking whether the situation actually occurred?
    
    Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Denzil,
    
    I know exactly what you mean.
    I had a strange dream last night, a tad disturbing actually, and when
    I woke up still feeling half asleep, I had to think carefully about
    what had happened.  Only after 20 - 30 seconds did I realize it was a
    dream, and thank God it was!
    I too would like to know, is this a Lucid Dream?
    I know its not really taking control of the dream but its definatly
    different to a dream you remember when you have been up for a while.
    
    John...
