Quote by: Tycoon  I was skimming through threads on a different debate forum and saw an interesting discussion on dreams.
In particular "lucid dreams" or dreams where you can control what you do.
I'd like to hear what you think about the subject, particularly if you've been able to control your dreams. |
I've had two lucid dreams where I realized I was dreaming and was able to take complete control and create new objects and environments.
I've also had one dream where I was kidnapped and tied to a bed and when I "woke up" I was kidnapped and tied to a bed. When I woke up from waking up I was pretty freaked out about that one. The first "wake up" felt completely real.
I bought this kit last year but haven't gotten around to soldering it together yet. The LEDs supposedly will start cueing you after roughly a couple hours of sleep. The theory is that you will see a flash in your dream and that will help you realize you are dreaming so you can assume control.

I also wrote a short story about a guy that builds a lucid dream machine because he wants to see if he can stop time in his dream. He does, which puts his real world body in a coma. He creates a dream world that is indistinguishable from the real world and finds he is bored with it so, in the dream world, he builds a lucid dream machine so he can stop time in his dream's dream, which puts his dream self in a coma while he constructs a new dream world in his dream world.
One thing I discovered while experimenting with dreams last years is that taking 60MG of Ginko Biloba twice a day has drastically increased the quantity, quality, and lucidity of my dream life. I haven't had one that I took full control of in many years but I have very lucid, non-control, dreams every single night since I have been taking Ginko Biloba. This is great for us writers since the dreams supply a constant source of new material.
Happy dreaming!
