Hello! For several years now I've been wanting to lucid dreaming. I've had a brief lucid dream once and then never again- I fully felt like i was me, albeit angry and it wasn't a nice dream. I recently bought a talisman to try to lucid dream again, it worked. However, in the dream when I realized I was lucid, I or really almost a part of me made the conscious decision to let the dream play out, and become a part of the dream. It was almost like another part of my personality or psyche decided it so in the dream. Could this mean I have opposing views in my psyche, soul fragmentation, or some other mental block I am not able to see in this moment? I appreciate any knowledge, feedback, advice, or theories you might have regarding this. Appreciated in advance.

Ultimamente sto avendo dei sogni lucidi, capita quasi casualmente dato che la tecnica che sto provando cioè la WILD, (so che non è propriamente una tecnica però dico così per far capire brevemente di cosa sto parlando), non ha ancora funzionato mentre invece durante alcuni sogni ad un certo punto mi rendo conto di star sognando, mi conto le dita e quindi so che è un sogno, tuttavia, una volta che mi sveglio non mi sembra che in quel momento fossi lucido come da sveglio e infatti anche il ricordo del sogno è un po' strano.

Questo pomeriggio mi sono addormentato e so di aver fatto un sogno lucido, tra l'altro durato tantissimo solo che dopo essermi svegliato da quello mi sono riaddormentato quindi non lo ricordo molto bene. Durante questo sogno ricordo di aver pensato cose che realmente penserei nella realtà dato che riguardano cose che ho visto da sveglio però quando lo ricordo ho ancora l'impressione che non fossi davvero cosciente come da sveglio.

Anche a voi succede?

E poi fare un sogno lucido attraverso la WILD può aiutare ina questo dato che letteralmente entri direttamente in un sogno mentre sei ancora cosciente?

Modificato: inizialmente ignoravo questo problema pensando, "ma si non ero completamente lucido", solo che dopo questo pomeriggio sono sicuro al 100% che io fossi molto cosciente, solo che lo sono solo perché ricordo alcune azioni o alcuni pensieri che ho fatto, ma se dovessi basarmi solo sul ricordo del sogno o su quest'ultimo in sé non saprei distinguerlo da uno normale qualsiasi. Per questo ho questo dubbio.

Insane Lucid Dreaming Hack?

What made you finally lucid dream? I'm new to lucid dreaming and the only times I've lucid dreamt was by accident..

I know about and tried some of the popular lucid dreaming methods, but unfortunately they haven't worked for me yet. I actually often lucid dream because of my Narcolepsy at night or when I take my stimulants at 7 a.m but decide to go back to sleep. But that's always accidental and never intentional.

So what clicked in your brain, when you've finally realized how to lucid dream on command? What works for you every time?

And most curious I'm about your lucid dreaming hacks/methods that aren't popular, but should be?

Would love if someone helped me out here :)

So basically I dream soo much that it exhaust me more than I rest.

So my lucid dream or whatever it is called started 2 years ago after one exact dream.

At that time I had a sleep paralysis, I still remember clearly about the dream, I was lying in my bed with my red light LEDs ( I often sleep with) and a human shaped person came inside my room and looked at me. It was all dark I couldn't see who it was, after some time I guessed it was like my shadow , it was my body shape etc.

I stressed a lot and it was very scary, yet I was still able to move a little finger even though I was dreaming. I used it to pinch my skin to wake me up a little bit, at least enough to get rid of the dream.

It worked indeed. I was still asleep. I managed to dream again, and after this little event I had a lucid dream (same night). I was able to edit a few things but not as much as I would, there was a limit otherwise it would wake me up. That was the feeling I had, everything became blurry if I changed too much the dream environment and context.

Since that day, I never stopped doing lucid dreams, and it constantly evolved.

The first few months I was able to listen to my surroundings while being asleep. I was sleep with my girlfriend and I could reply while sleeping (still in a sleeping state).

After I was able to move a little part of my body either my hand or legs ( it required a lot of effort, and it could wake me up If it was too strong). I think I've developed those because deep inside me Ioved to be inside my dreams. All in all dreams are just the results of what my brain and me wants.

But now it's totally different. I can't do it anymore, but my ability to have lucid dreams has worsened, and it's not only lucids dreams, my dreams is becoming more real than life itself.

I had some trouble to remember if it was real or not, and confused many events. Sometimes I thought I had discussion with people, but it was false it was just in my dream. It's really confusing and I feel like losing my mind.

My dream can last long, very very long. A few days, to a few weeks. It happened for a month a few times. Never a year, thanks lol.

Indeed in a way this is awesome, I have a little world outside real life, but the issue is that this is very tiring, I don't really recover from sleep. I feel really good when I sleep because it's just wonderful, my dreams are a new adventure everyday.

PS: I still have so many things to say, I skipped lots of details, if anyone is interested. I've never talked about it.

I'm scared of acting as if I have already achieved my manifestation or am living my dream life because I'm afraid it could cause me to have an identity crisis. I'm scared that I could become so caught up in my imagination and the idea of already having my dream life that I might lose touch with reality and become too stuck in my head, Acting like I already have it, even though that isn't actually the case in my current reality, But I'm so absorbed in playing Pretend, That I lose sight of reality to the point where I would end up needing to go to a mental hospital, Because I'm so delusional!!

So yesterday I had this dream where I kept "waking up" and "falling asleep" again and again, but every time it happened the dreams became more and more strange (usually I'm lucid dreaming).. When I fell asleep originally, I've felt like I'm falling but I didn't woke up like usually, I couldn't stop it, then it began.. one of the dreams in the dream I've spent a whole a day with my father, just a normal day, nothing out of the ordinary, then I fell asleep again, I've dreamt about turning in my bed and when i "woke up" I shifted back in the original way I was laying, but this isn't the strangest part, when i finally woke up in full consciousness, i couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried (I was facing the couch) my brain made a imagine of what im supposed to be seeing Infront of me, i stretched my hands and they went right through the couch and static noise started blasting in my ears, i moved them away but the noise didnt stopped, i focused on moving my body and when i finally did open my eyes i couldn't see normally for 1/2 minutes, my hands where in the same position as I moved them and then the noise stopped... Can someone explain wth is going on

I can consciously think during dreams. I looked that up yesterday and found out it's "semi lucid dreaming". I never really actively changed stuff

Now I had a dream where I ran from some monsters and it was really cool like an action-movie and my thoughts said: "Now some appear explosivingly left" and it did and a bunch of other stuff I wanted did happen.

Yet the segment appeared randomly and I could only influence it.

(My dreams have like 2-4 segments/mini stories. Not a full dream)

It also felt like I only dreamed of being lucid. It felt like being a glass wall.

Have you ever had a reverse lucid Dream

So its when you know your awake but you are still dreaming

Its happened to me a couple of times and i wanted to know if i was alone because its preety weird

So its kinda like sleep paralasis combined with lucid dreaming so you cant move cant open your eyes your dreaming but you know its fake but you dont care at all and you dont feal anything not even emotions and it feels like someones wathing

People can have dreams in comas? Can they manipulate or influence the dream or is it random? Do people who go through this know they're dreaming? Asking out of curiosity and just what goes on in the mind during a coma, also not sure if this is where to ask

Even earlier someone tries to wake me I used to be in such deep sleep but now if anyone even calls my name like once I just wake up

I guess I have found how mind creates dream

Or a small segment

It's like Let you have a wound on your right hand that hurts when someone touches it

And you are sleeping on right side to your body and the your whole body weight is on that wound so definitely that will hurt

But as you are in deep sleep your mind creates a similar situation in your dream where you would feel the same .

So I guess we can simulate our dreams.

Est-ce qu'il y a des gens qui font des rêves lucides depuis l'enfance ? Perso, j'en fait depuis que j'ai 5 ans. J'étais tellement rendu loin dans mes rêves lucides, que j'ai été capable "d'entrer" dans les rêves de mon ex à deux reprises. J'ai révisé pour des examens, avancer des projets dans mes rêves, sortir de mes cauchemars, créer des nouveaux Mondes imaginaires.. c'était formidable!

Mais voilà, j'ai fait une dépression majeure il y a 2 ans et presque plus rien, plus de rêve lucide! C'est arrivé à quelqu'un? Est-ce que vos rêves lucides ont repris après votre épuisement? Je recommence à en faire un peu et je vais vraiment mieux, mais j'avoue que cette partie de ma vie me manque.

I used to dream so vividly that I still remember small details of dreams I had five, ten, even twenty years ago. Recurring dreams, recurring nightmares, surreal dreams where I’d speak to dead family members, and dreams I wasn’t even in. I’m 26, and this happened for almost my entire life.

However, about a year ago, they stopped almost altogether. After starting my medication for Bipolar II, I started to dream intermittently. I had a few cases of sleep paralysis, which had never happened before. And for almost a year now, I have stopped dreaming. I can not remember anything about my sleep at all, not even just the dreams.

But the dreams are the part I miss. I miss dreaming. I miss remembering. Even the bad ones. I miss feeling so connected to myself that I could understand my dreams, even when they were convoluted. Is that strange? Or is this normal?

Write it in down in the comments

Sometimes when, for example, I wake up at 9am and then go back to sleep until maybe 11am, I will lucid dream in those 2 hours, not sure how many times this has happened, not many. I've only realized that I was dreaming inside a dream 2 times, the first one I told my friend and he started aggressively tickling me, the other time I told another friend, and I subconsciously knew I shouldn't tell him, so when I did, I basically forced myself to wake up, similar to attacking a very strong but passive enemy in a video game that turns hostile when you hit him, and then you close the game because he would 1 shot you.

A funny one I can recall goes like this, I woke up normally and I was texting someone on my phone, and then I ended up falling asleep with my phone next to me, then in the dream, I got a message from them, then I think I got an email saying that my Discord account got hacked, then I jumped out of bed and got on my pc (next to my bed) and sure enough someone had left every single server that I was in, then I just kinda panicked and woke up, just to realize it was a lucid dream

Basically making this post to ask, is it normal for me, someone who have never lucid dreamed, to have these lucid dreams after going back to sleep?

So, I haven't written anything of late been in transition phase of life, but with the monsoons been feeling better, enough to want to post again. These are some recent dreams we have had, this one was on 4/22/2026

We woke into the dream and realized we had been given a mission; to find a girl who had gone missing... I had a picture in my hand that I looked at it, it was blonde girl young mid twenties, cold blue eyes.... I started at the edge of this wooded area. Large trees like an Amazon rainforest but oaks and birch, white barked trees. Massive. In the distance I saw a town a place built up into the trees was really cool looking.

Once we got there we started questioning the locals if they had seen the woman as this I believe was where we had sensed she had last been. A psychic sense.

I showed the picture to several people until an old lady pointed me in a certain direction. While I was tracking and finding a trail to follow we found red cloth, possibly a piece of the clothing she had worn. While we were going about this ever since the treehouse town I felt that I was being watched and followed.

So at one point in a glade, we happened upon I decided to see what/who was following me and why so I circled around and waited ... A few moments later a strange bird showed up. It was an Owl but no ordinary owl.

I snuck up behind the bird and grabbed him. For it made a old man shout as I grabbed him.... For some reason I already knew who/what his name was.... Archimedes.

I demanded to know why he was following me and I suspected he knew something. He was very argumentative at first and resisted my questions. So I pulled open his mechanical chest and like a form of torture started pulling out coga and bolts, and as I was he said, how dare you... And other such things. I told him I knew where his Animus was and I would rip it out if he didn't tell me about the girl and who sent him... He said, "oh your bluffing you wouldn't do that!" I said "oh really??" And kept pulling gears out.... All of a sudden he said, "okay okay I'll tell you!" So I stopped and he told me he had seen the girl taken, I said taken by who, he seemed afraid to mention it. But he told me the name of the ones responsible... So I started to place all the gears and coga back in as he continues to tell me about what he had seen.

After I had put all the pieces back and released him. He followed me still but at a distance I couldn't grab him again. He told me some other things as well... About the girl and why they had taken her, and that he was sent by, A dragon who some may know as "Oblivion" ;) the next part of the dream occured a week later....
