so i was dreaming last night, and suddenly i was like "hey wait, is this a lucid dream?" and then i thought really hard to make the dream change, and It didnt seem to work. so i was like, bah whatever.
But then later on in the dream, I was making out with Julia Roberts... so I dont know...

unless you wanted to be making out with Julia Roberts (actively, I mean..), it didn't work.
but you can have a lucid dream and not have control. I've had that lots of times. the dream looks real silly then..

well, i was thinking to myself "they say in lucid dreams, you can be with anyone you want"
and then i was just thinking "someone famous"
but it didnt work. so i let the dream continue. And then later in the dream, I was making out with Julia Roberts... but at this time, I dont think I realized it was a dream anymore...

Dreams are not lucid or non lucid dreams. They can be something in between..

I've had lucid nightmares.. why doesn't that make sense? they're just dreams as well..
actually, being aware that they were nightmares made them less scary - I could look at them with a distance ("oh this is just a dream..").

I can usually change nightmares via lucid dreaming. For example last night I incapacitated my captors by breaking their arms. Still one of them managed to kill me using this weird remote control thing. Bah.

I just assumed that since lucid dreams are dreams that you can control (right?) you wouldnt have a nightmare, unless you willed it to happen?

well lucid dreams more or less means that you are aware that you are dreaming - the taking control is a next step.
even then, the control is not complete (you have a huge subconscious to box up too..)..

Yes, only once did I really have "total control" usually it's just you can change little things or have control over your own acitons- making other characters or environments change the way you want is a bit harder...

Lucid nightmares are reasonably common. Think about it- it's often the realisation that something is strange that causes you to realise it's a dream, if there's some werewolf or whatever, it's far more likely to be a dream. Unless you're very good and can actually change all the elements of the dream (effectively starting a new dream) the best you can do is use the realisation that it's a dream to give you some degree of control. For example, looking to your hands and seeing a weapon. A friendly character to appear and help you etc. lucid nightmares are rarely pleasurable, but they are a great deal less stressful than very vivid, "normal" ones.

Up until recently, I've never thought about this, but I've realized that I've never had anything but lucid dreams (that I can remember after I wake up). What is it like to have dreams where you can't control what you do or what happens in the dream? That would be really strange.

I've had lucid dreams with full control and ones with little or no control. I've also managed one half-ass conscious astral projection. That was so bad ass! Magic is for real people.

one of my favs, was when i was falling and kept falling then realized i was falling so then i closed my eyes (in the dream) and everything went black)
it was almost like i had just woke up and kept my eyes shut
but that "falling" feeling stayed
its weird to describe
it's like if you could move your ears a lot, if you would move them back and forth really really fast (tho prolly has something to do with my innerears / membrane and the equilibrium that makes my body keep it's balance.
very strange, but i scrinched my eyes tite and i kept 'falling', and the feeling stayed for a long period of time before i got tired of doing it and somehow woke up

"This mobility registers loudly in the music of - to name a handful - Scanner, Bedouin Ascent, Omni Trio, Oval, and perhaps most compellingly, Aphex Twin (who we will meet presently). On the 12 mixes of the Aphex Twin's new "Ventolin" EP, you can hear the music's armature creaking and complaining; it wheezes and groans like an asthmatic forced to run for his or her life. (Ventolin is, indeed, the drug prescribed for asthma inhalers.) From his early, influential "Didgeridoo" track onwards, Richard James has been combining abstract and familiar elements to hallucinatory effect. His latest releases, "Ventolin" and the ensuing album, I Care Because You Do, are packed with incident. The music flickers between synthesized textures and domestically recorded location sounds, while at other times pollutant blasts of distortion seem to blow in and scrage the music's skin like a burst of roadworks through an open window. It's a highly plausible suggestion of the borderline state between dreaming and waking."

Shit theres some good stuff here...
I ask him if his dreams seem more real than waking life. "I think dreams are a bit more honest, because you don't lie to yourself in dreams. I don't think you have an ego and all this business; it all seems to disappear. The way you are in a day is basically the way you were shaped the night before when you were sleeping; and when you're asleep, that's when all your thoughts are put into order - it's when your brain does all its filing; prepares you for the next conscious day. You could argue that when you sleep that's when all the shit goes down."

I had a very small taste of it once, I heard you have to look at your hands in your dream. This means you're aware you're dreaming and also means you are "taking control"
I felt it for a sec, then felt a bt freaked out and woke up.

technically, you always dream. you don't remember it always, though..
unless you drink a lot of alcohol - that can stunt dreaming (actually it stunts REM-sleep, makes you go less deep).
