Lucid dreams

Fighting satan? i wanna get on this!

No... you seriously don't mate. I don't get why you think it was cool, they were the worst experiences. Obviously finally being strong enough to fight him off felt good, but it wasn't fun to be absolutely destroyed and then get subjected to whatever psychological torture "Satan" wants to put you through afterwards. And I mean HORRIBLE fucking sights... I would usually wake up and sob for hours after I fought him.

But if you really want to fight him I suggest you go to one of those really bad fundamentalist churches where they have witch-hunts and speak in "tongues" and stuff. Fast for 3 days before you get there. You'll love their all-night services and ritual chants before "prayer". Let them "anoint" your forehead with oil that you're not allowed to rub off, till it drips down your eyes and blinds you. Then blinded they can scream deliverance into you, before they physically push you to the ground and babble in whatever incomprehensible tongue frightens you the most. All at 3AM in the morning. Wait for the best part of the night when that night's "witch" is found and humiliated for a pack of baying wolves. And try and get it all in before you turn 10.

Then I guarantee you'll get your dreams (lucid or not) hijacked by Satan.

It was a reet laugh, yeah.

It wasn't too bad at the time, you know you actually did feel part of it. And you actually believed they wanted to help/deliver you. Of course they just wanted a cult of people who they could swindle money out of and con with "miracles" and shit. The witch-hunts I guess were just for entertainment.

It's just afterwards when you realise Christianity is bullshit, your subconscious is a bit trapped by it all. There are still angels and demons, and long after you wanna stop hearing the voice of God, Satan and all of the heavenly host, they won't go away and start to become mundane voices of friends and semi-accquaintances until you realize "Oh shit, I'm a schizo insomniac, and I now can't sleep at night because these voices are fucking tormenting me."

I would've probably been in a psych ward if I didn't figure that Rastas didn't go schizo smoking shedloads of weed because they used the word "I" as much as possible. All I had to do funnily enough was invent a meditation mantra that went "I and I alone reside here" (after the whole 'I and I' for you and God) and the voices just faded away.

i have been having very psychedelic dreams where i have a different kind of lucidity. rather than realizing that i am dreaming and its not real, i tend to realize i am dreaming and it is just as real as this dream and then have little blasts of ancient memories and then i get so startled i wake myself up

I have mixed feelings about lucid dreaming.

When you are awake you rarely if ever ask the question "Am I Awake?" Because of this you will never ask the question when you are asleep. I found that by asking the question to myself while consciously looking around and taking things in I was able to ask the same question when I was dreaming.

I did this for about a week and one night I fell asleep, immediately got up and ran through a wall, then forced myself to fly as I thought it would be ace. The first time this happened it was unreal. Wigan seemed to be a multicoloured squid of some kind. But the dream seemed to repeat about 50 times, each time pretty much the same except different walls. After this had happened I found my parents in the garden off their heads staggering into trees. I woke up and I had pulled all the muscles in my legs and arms and had a splitting headache.

Hahaha, I guess you can fly, I've only flown once, but someone was holding my hand snowman-style. I think it must mess with your head/body to fuck with the laws of physics too much. I just tend to get the train everywhere.

I think I'm quite knackered as this picture seems to be quite sinister. What happened in that film anyway? Did my child mind block out the horror?

i like this. really awesome description of your experiences overall. i've had a lot of strange things i've experienced that i find difficult to put into words.

the only thing i have to add that i feel is really important is that beyond the whole realization of angels and demons inhabiting those around you (i honestly feel every individual is inherently a conglomerate) that really they are all reflections of YOU, and really there is nothing you can experience that is not an aspect of you.

that's the true truth.

They toned it down for American audiences. The British version was raw!

one thousand percent agree parson

it also makes persons perception of the universe so unique, that maybe each single human being sees his own world so completely and fucked up different. each and every depending on his own demons in his head

im still reading through page two but I can't wait.

One day I was dreaming I was in the jungle and I was flying around for a good while. Din't know how to come down. That is when my dream stopped. When I was in the jungle you could see a pyramid off in the distance. The next day I was dreaming about that pyramid and skiing down the side, it was awesome.

Another time I was in a scary dream in a cemetery. I was walking across it and then there were monsters like vampires and mummies coming out of the graveyards. I noticed that they were all chicks and instead of running I had sex with a couple of them. That was a wet one.

There have been other times when I have gone to sleep with music on and I rapp along. My favorite was the one where I was busting out Wu Tang Lyrics, Rakewon's verses.

Also there have been times where I dream I am at massive raves in big arenas just listening to the tunes in crowds of people. I go nuts when my ipod shuffles one of the songs I have produced and I recognize it while im asleep.

One thing that helps is having a tape recorder next to your bed. As soon as you wake up recite what you remember. You might be able to put it together later on in the day.
I have a book. I forgot the title but in one of the exercises it says to do is sit back, close your eyes, relax and walk trough your house. Picture every room in your house and you walking down the hallways. When you realize you are dreaming, doing what you want to do, or where you want to go wont be so difficult.

Also another way to realize you are dreaming is to try to read. Your brain cant work correctly while you are dreaming and the same information will not be projected the same way.

I love it when I can control my dreams.

I'm with so many people who have ridiculous levels of excitement after reading through this thread! I guess i never really thought about it as a realistic possibility before, even having watched Waking Life, but being able to potentially have a level of control or influence in my dreams for real is nuts.. Definitely going to read into this alot further.

Last week I had the where I'm flying around my house, in and through all the rooms.. I can go straight through walls and everything turns dark and somewhat like a poloroid negative. I love having those, kind of freaky but fun at the same time.. It's always when I try to actually leave the house, usually through the roof..I get about 100 or so feet in the air to where I can see the neighborhood and that, is when I wake up.
