can you control your dreams and what do you think you have dreams for?

[blazinkill504]

in the middle of my dreams from time to time i realize that i am dreamin and from then on i can control how the dreams go from that point on. i think its awesome personally and i only know of one other person that says the same thing happens to them. i feel tho that dreams can prepare you for situations that you may face in your life and also can give you a glimpse into a future event cause ive had dreams about things that came to reality after the fact.

That's called lucid dreaming, if you come to realize you are dreaming and can then control it. It's happened to me two times in my life that I can remember.

If you dreams are foretelling future events, that's called prophetic dreaming.

May be just a coincidence but one time my cousin was supposed to come over and smoke with me the next day. Anyways that night I went to sleep and had a dream where my cousin called me and said his car was stuck on his driveway so he couldn't come. When I woke up I didn't think much if the dream until my cousin called and said he couldn't come because his dad had borrowed the car and went out for the night partying and wrecked it (his dad just got a cut on his head and hand, so he's fine) So the car was broken down on his driveway (ha it still is). Maybe there's more to dreams than we thought, IDK.

I've never been able to control my dreams, but I have dreamt something and had it happen.

 

[diesel15]

Yeah man ihave dreams all the time about things which happen in the future, and then when iget to that point in real life its just like da'ja'vu. People look at me like im crazy when itell them ihad a dream about this moment in time so ithought maybe igot psychic abilities which creeped me out, but now iknow im not the only one. Ican control what ido in the dreams as ireally would of did it in real life. Intense dreams change my ways, feelings, or mind set in life through an event which really happens or the dream scares me to the point where ichange and it doesnt happen. Milder ones(which inormally forget) bring the feeling of da'ja'vu when they happen, which makes me wonder about whats up above the sky. And mystical(fairytaleish/ amazing/sureal etc.)/disconnected(a being showing me this is whats goin to happen) ones are going to happen later in life or their either a sign telling me of something.

The minds process for dealing with day to day events happens inside dreams,its more like a housekeeping of sorts.Youre mind discards the old flotsam and jettsom that has become irrelevant to your circumstances and or life through the process.It is also a messaging system as well,everything from the functions of your body and what may be happening that you need to be aware of,to whats going on outside of you that you should take action to and in some cases before the events take place.Control can be asserted over time and proper effort,in the form of lucid dreams,they are by far the coolest of experiences in the dreamworld.

I personally rarely have dreams(as far as I can remember), and I remember vividly still about 25-50% of the dreams I have had. In most dreams I am able to walk around and experience my environment, but environmental shifts and even as far as what I'm holding is not controlled directly by my dream self. It is its own place with it's own things going on, and I just have to go through it and try to figure out what's going on.
So I'm not sure if that is considered lucid dreaming or not. I am sometimes aware that it isn't real life, but I am not in complete control ever.

There are some things to help your mind control your dreams though. My dog used it once when he was younger when he was given about 5g by a friend who had got it from bouncing bear botanicals. He said it tasted nasty, and didn't drink all of it because it was gross. It did make him drowsy but he doesn't remember any dreams from that night.

The plant is Called "Cheech" or "Leaf of god" I haven't done much reading about ethnobotanicals for a while so I don't remember the exact species and genus name, because it's something weird. But either of those names should lead you too it. It is also said that if two people drink it either while together or from a distance(stronger together) but with the intentions of being together, they can enter each others dreams and have corresponding dreams that can later be discussed. Indians used to use it and figured all this stuff out about it. If your really interested in dream stuff, I suggest you look that up. And look into the crystals that correspond to chakras and sleep with them on the spots. I have personally had experience and got multiple friends to try it for their opinions, and Amethyst on your third eye does something while you sleep. Somebody even asked me if I dipped the amethyst shard in LSD, thinking I had tricked them into having crazy dreams. And supposedly the combo of third eye and amethyst, opens the third eye.

Something like that is usually saying you cant escape from or run away from the troubles you're facing in your life.. You need to face them.

I dont think I've ever been able to do that. It sounds awesome. You should try to find out how to do it more often.

Above are some suggestions on how to Lucid Dream.

I've only ever had two and it was during periods that I was meditating a LOT. I never used any of these techniques so I can't profess as to how effective they are. My lucid dreams just sorta happened. In one I was completely aware of what was going on and able to change everything to my will. I started flying, shooting fireballs, and other cool things . In the other I was able to change things, but I didn't really have any mental control over it. All of my ideas of things to "change" were weird anf funky, like I thought it would be a good idea to turn the couch I was sittin on into a "thunder god", and it formed into a cartoon cloud with a lightning bolt and a smiley face on it.

I have controlled my dreams and agree it has to be one of the best things on earth. I <3 lucid dreaming.

 

[Phillip J Fry]

All you have to do is realize you are dreaming but dont wake your self up. Controlling the dream is easy after that but still might get a little twisted. I used to do this a lot and really love and miss it, since my dreams have left me for the time being.

the way i usually do it is when im for some reason being handicapped like i cant run as fast as i can or i cant swing when im in a fight this is what makes me realize im dreamin and from then on i can control whats goin on.

 

[cruzer101]

So thats what its called, I have had dreams like that but didn't look into it.
Hey Blazin, ever know your dreaming and know you are going to wake up so you grab something on your dream to try and take it with you?
Doesn't work, LOL.

 

[Phillip J Fry]

This is the key for me also. When I am dreaming I can't tell until tipped off somehow. Little weird things make me realize that what I am involved in is not reality but a dream. From that point I just stay calm and decide to keep dreaming but with way more control over what happens. I suggest anyone who dreams to try this out.

 

[metaltooths]

if i could control them, i would have them.
i wake up pissed i had no dream. they do come, rarely.
maybe thats too telling..

This is a practice in meditation that brings wakeful/alert awareness to the subconscious. This is the point of keeping the eyes 3/4 closed. Over time you will find yourself completely alert/aware of everything happening while submerged into nothing, which is the dark void of the subconscious mind. With proper meditation this becomes easier to manage and there is never a lapse in the journey to the altered state of consciousness. However one can still progress to that wakeful alertness of an altered state of mind that includes lucid dreaming by doing the same thing before falling asleep.

While laying on your back keep your eyelids 3/4 closed. A focus point can be located on your ceiling but soon you will find yourself submerged in a dark void of nothing, but still alert and aware. The same things that take place while meditating will also take place. Simply said you will catch yourself lost in thoughts and images (daydreaming sort of). Try not to get lost into the thoughts but allow them to pass like floating clouds, while bringing your focus and attention on being there in that space "alert and aware". Unlike meditation you will probably have a lapse in consciousness and simply fall asleep. In all cases this begins to inseminate the subconscious mind with awareness/alertness, and you may begin to find yourself aware of the lucid dream state but unaware of how you got there. With continued practice you will find yourself there more often and eventually there will be no lapse in awareness with the journey there.

It is more difficult and taskful to reach the point of no lapse by simply applying the method while only preparing to fall asleep. With proper meditation it becomes easier to do and apply as with meditation you are not trying to fall asleep. The results, however, are the same in reaching an altered state of consciousness and awareness. It still takes time with effort to become effecient at doing it, and the outcome of progression is differentiated by the individual.

It is also best practiced during times of a sober mind. Meaning don't get loaded before going to sleep. You may have more profound thoughts, images, and a wild dream but the ability to recollect that dream effeciently will be hindered.

I have weird re accruing dreams, like childhood things but with shit from war of the worlds mixed in
My heads fucked with this shit
