what is the strangest dream you have ever had?

[eddie hitler]

zor,cool!
I might read up on that. keep the dreams coming. I had a dream last night that I was being chased around a burning oil rig at night by a bunch of ed byrne look alikes with revolvers. When they caught up with me, one of them dropped his gun and took out a golf club."say goodbye bitch" he said as he swung back the club.I woke up saying"no,please, I have a wife!".Wonder what it means.

Heh, in dreams I often think "Am I dreaming?" and then quickly dismiss the thought.

What techniques do you recommend, Zor?

Vel, you almost have it. Just say "Yes I am" to yourself, and you'll probably begin lucid dreaming. I've only been pretty fully lucid once, and it only lasted for about 1 dream minute. The thing that made me lucid dreaming was reaching that stage of questioning myself as to whether I was or wasn't dreaming. If that happened more often to me, I'd lucid dream more often I'm sure - but my dreams are constantly wild and I never get the chance to think to myself "am I dreaming?". The time I did actually manage it, I remember realising I was dreaming, then convincing myself I was in bed next to my girlfriend, so I was in a comfortable situation. I decided to empty everything around me, and build up a room and see what I could do in the lucid state. I think that was taking it a bit too far for me tho, because as I built the room up and tried to change things regarding my perspective, it just went a bit haywire and ended up waking me up

Oh well, maybe it'll happen again in 22 years time!

Vel: What I did first was to build up my dream recall. Every night before you go to bed tell yourself that you are
going to remember your dreams. Then in the morning try and remember as much as possible and write it down in a book. It took me about a week to get to at least 2-3 dreams a night. (this part is very important, because you could end up having a lucid dream and not remembering!)

While you do that get into the habit of performing regular reality checks, even while you're conscious. Wear a watch and constantly look at time, except always do it twice. If the time changes from the first time you looked you'll know you're dreaming. Do the same thing when you find yourself reading a book or something. Eventually you'll find yourself performing the checks in your dreams, and when you do them they'll fail and you'll achieve lucidity!

Sounds like a lot of work, I know, but it's all worth it!

I had this really annoying dream last night: I remember thinking, "Damn, this situation is pretty whacked, I'm probably dreaming. Oh yes I'm definitely dreaming! --- Hey, wait ... Everything looks pretty realistic, I actually don't think I'm dreaming!"
I was so close!!

I have dreams that I remember quite often, almost daily. Also, I hear music in dreams and if I do remember the melody afterwards I record it to a song.
Zor, having a dream diary seems quite cool, but I wouldn't want just anyone to read it, you know. ¬_¬
We shall see, what the night brings this time.

I had a dream last night htat I mooned everyone in a huge clothes store then I peed on the floor. Does anyone know what this means? Also I have a lot of dreams of myself in huge clothes stores or malls. I guess its because I always got lost as a little kid.

[Phemar]

Vel: I know what you mean You just gotta keep it hidden!

[eddie hitler]

Bubbles, I once had a dream that I was in the back garden and I was mooning at some visitors who were inside, I also did a pee.then a helicopter came by and some one shot me from it.

The trouble with lucid dreams, is they are often easier to remember. Sometimes as easy as normal life. Which means that dream memories can get confused with real life ones.
