How to have a lucid dream

I saw this subject come up here in this forum, and I've talked about it in my private forum. I'm off to go have one now.

Go to bed Early! No drinking or smoking for best results. It is now 8:30pm here. I'll wake up around 2am or so. Stay up for an hour... and go back to bed.

As I drift off to sleep there will be "shimmy shakes" and perhaps lightning that will try to startle me awake, I must ease through it and not let it disturb me. Once I make it past that I am in the lucid dream realm.

I am not able to fight the dream and try to make things happen, I have to go with what is happening or I'll wake up. I am able to interact with the dream, but forcing anything will blow the dream or wake me up.

Wish me luck, and if you have a few extra hours and evening to give it a try I'd like to hear your results.

Late.

You're a day late, mate! Went to bed around 9, woke up at 2:30-ish, did some work (for work) on the computer, posted and played a little chess I think, and went back to bed (to await the 5:30 alarm). Had a very clear but awful dream. What struck me the most was the vivid details. But if I ever meet a man like that with that scar on his left shoulder blade, I'm going to run faster than an Olympic sprinter!

I used to study lucid dreams and astral travel. Had and OBE (out of body experience) twice and a few lucid dreams, and strange sleep paralysis. If you practice it will come more often. Be wary of the Astral wildlife though. good luck

I've had episodes where I know I'm asleep, and believe I am not able to breath. I struggle to wake up for fear I'm dying in my sleep. Not fun at all.

I read about a "dream fish", known around asia or the phillipines, that gives you wild dreams if eaten before bedtime....can't find a reference to it now, though...anyone ever hear of it?

Didn't end up having a lucid dream, but did have an interesting dream.

I was in my private forum and someone posted a game for us all to play. Worms (ever hear of it? Fun game)

I believe SJ started the game, and as soon as it started the land caught on fine and each worm started to hop around and die.. so no one won and we all got mad at her for starting a fun game and killing us all off.

Yes that must be it, although the ref I read about many years ago sounded a lot more benign
