ok ive just done this for the 3rd time over this week. Now ive been lucid dreaming for a couple of years, i.e. i could control what i did in some of my dreams, but it didnt happen often and only usually did when i had a 'snooze' during the day. in fact anything like this only works when i go for a snooze. Anyway!
so im lying in bed and concentrating, and let my body fall asleep. now what i tried to do was make alot of noise at first, but it just sounded like a snoreish blubbering. nothing too cool. then i opened my eyes, which was really very cool. at first it was black then like acid dissolving my room showed up.when i tried to move myself i couldnt. but what did happen was i saw my hands (i was trying to clap) but they were translucent. my mind must have perceived them in a mental space. and i noticed that on my right hand was a ring which i put on earlier, but didnt go to sleep with. then i started laughing and then woke up and felt a bit shitty becuase my eyes were dry.
it was very fun, you should try it. its just going lucid but opening your eyes. haha

Yes, I find it's easiest when having an afternoon nap, or when waking up in the morning. Easiest when you're really tired. You can put an alarm on an hour/half hour before your main one, wake up hit that and then go back to sleep for a bit and that seems the time I dream most.

ive had an issue w/ "old hag's attack" recently, which in a way is like lucid dreaming
except its always negative in that you feel like you are potentially in harm - im awake, but not really, physically cannot move, i know im in danger cause i can feel it or hear threatenting noises, but am helpless
it sucks - id rather be able to turn my room into a circus or fly out of my bathtub - ... - sucks

i would very much like to train myself to dream lucidly, but i don't seem to have the disipline.

weird... sounds scary, yeah
thing is, "old hag's attack" sounds like it could've been a translated version of the norwegian "enkemannsstøt," which is the strange feeling you get in your arm when you hit your elbow against something in just the wrong way, so that you hit some nerve or something.. massive weird non-pain uncomfortableness...

When i was frequently lucid i would get that. Its hard to get out of because although i knew that if i relaxed i could probably wwake up...i would often times panic or struggle to get up when i couldnt just making it worse

Yes, it's the same thing. My Dad had it and could "see" 3 floating pitch black disks at the end of his bed and whilst they didn't move, he sensed they were bearing down on him. There's a school of thought that alien abduction claims (that aren't from the bald-faced liars) are sleep paralysis. The overwhelming sense of a malevolent presence in the room, inability to fight it/move at all, etc.
I've luckily not experienced it myself yet, or if I have, can't remember it.

I can lucid dream whenever I want. What stilaktive discribed though didn't sound like lucid dreaming at all though.
I have also suffered two bouts of sleep paralysis and it is seriously the most horrible thing I have ever experienced. On both occassions I thought I was about to die.

yeah thast what im talking about, i can go lucid, but this is different. this is sleeping, but being awake. i guess its self controlled sleep paralysis. which makes no sense. GREAAAAT!

I've found that certain substances can be used to induce lucid dreaming. Sedating antipsychotics like Seroquel gave me my first experience (I'm not psychotic, just for the record) - I remember it very vividly. When I realised I was dreaming and could control what I did, I tried to grope some females (well, I was younger). Other more readily available substances such as B complex vitamins taken just before sleep seem to induce lucidity also, but not as much as the Seroquel did.

I've experienced sleep paralysis a few times, and yeah it's really scary.
The first time it happened to me, I thought I had slept with my neck kinked so that I couldn't breathe and blood couldn't get to my brain.
I tried desperately to try and move but couldn't. I thought I was either about to die, or already had.

I also have had a few lucid dreams. The first time, I remember suddenly realizing that I was in a dream, and that everything around me was imaginary. I looked up in the sky and saw my closed eyelids from behind them, as though the dream world was physically inside my head, and the sky was my skull.
At which point, I started flying around and transforming things, making cities grow out of the ground and then go back in.
Lucid dreaming is so amazing. I haven't done it in over 10 years. Maybe I should try and learn how to do it at will. Apparently that's possible to do.

i haven't been able to lucid dream for a while, or when i realize i'm lucid, the surprise of it wakes me up. i think i've been sleeping very lightly lately, because i tend to wake up a lot all night long.
however, i keep having this recurring dream where my teeth stick together and when i try to open my mouth they break apart. then i crunch up the jagged broken pieces. and i'm not wearing pants.

Such thing happened to me once, it lasted only like 5 seconds, but still was the most terrifying moment of my life.
