How Does Lucid Dreaming Work?

I have been all my life lucid dreaming and controlling my dreams and even night mares and I can wake up than sleep again and connect my dream to where I disconnected it to finish because I hate not to finish my dream to the end. Even once I was awake and I had a weird experience of sleep paralysis where I saw in my mind that a very heavy demonic entity sat on me and I couldn't move myself a bit but through my mind I grew big sharp nails and started tearing that thing apart and that thing was so injured It ran and I can freely move body but I did not get up and instead in my mind I followed that demonic thing and I saw all the street dogs baking on that thing and I heard them barking outside my window too. I also said to the thing "How dare you attacked me don't you know I am a believer of Mola Ali a. s. ( The Master of the faithful and saints of God on Earth) ( So basically I am a very strong spiritual person and INFJ and a Muslim too.). Never told this event ever to anyone except my mother.

I honestly do think I controlled my lucid dream

So that's why I felt like my eyes is moving while sleeping...

I did the WILD technique and it stands for Wake Induce Lucid Dream

I experience a false awakening from a WILD lucid dream when I was in my dad’s truck that was full of snow inside and it was freezing cold then I thought I woke up I saw my self get out bed to head to the bathroom and the bathroom door was shut closed I open up the door then I turned on the light but the lights won’t turn on in the bathroom however the other lights did turn on and then I went into sleep paralysis

I had a dream where i was captured by aliens and was being tested on, one of the worse dreams i had

Wait, his definition of controlling a dream is just doing stuff? I thought controlling would mean deciding the outcome of an action, not just moving around.
So there are people who DON'T move around or interact with their surroundings in dreams? That must be extremely boring.

I have had a lot of terrible nightmares. but my most terrible dream was this: I was on a ranch or a farm or something and it seemed like it was some time in the past. Like maybe I had just watched Little House on the Prairie that day, because it felt like that era. Anyway, I looked out the window of a house I was in and noticed the barn was on fire. I ran out to the barn and suddenly noticed that it wasn't the barn, but an open stable next to the barn and it was a horse with two welding torches set fully ablaze onto it's head. A little boy who I seemed to know in my dream looked at me and ran. I remember thinking, 'it isn't your fault.' I frantically tried to turn off the torches. I turned and turned, but the knobs just fell off. And then I realized It was too late. The horses head was glowing and black where it was burnt, almost hollow. I remember it's eyes looking so terrified. It stood completely frozen and silent like it was in shock. Then I woke up. It totally freaked me out. I thought about it for days. I still think about it and that poor horse.

to the point where i love and i hate you but i can not change u so i must replase u yaa

But i become stupid when i am dreaming.

the dude is chill and calm, love his style. keep it up, proud a ya

This guy is too funny.😂 I need more nerds in my life. People more intelligent than me to teach me knowledge because apart from me being African most black Americans have no important knowledge to teach me. Just broken English where I live.

I genuinely have had atleast 5-6 lucid dreams.

We are consciousness we are more than they physical body.

Soo a researcher head blew up wow......rip

Is it lucid dreaming when you rewind your dream after you realize that you are dreaming

I definitely have controlled my dreams on many occasions. My favorite thing to do is fly.

I was the 1000s person to like the video

hes hilarious lmao

Is it true that you can only dream of people of those whom you've seen before?

Try FILD - Finger Induced Lucid Dream. Works pretty well.

I'm getting better and better at controlling my dreams, and actually staying IN the dream to have more fun. A trick I learned from Shane is if you feel your dream fading stay rubbing your dream hands together add hard add you can, it grounds you back into the dream. I was skeptical but then I tried it during a lucid dream and the dreams last longer and longer. so far that is the only trick I know to stay in a dream. and the best way to TELL if your dreaming is to look at your hands. mine are always effed up like extra or deformed fingers. you wigs think it would be weird but my thought offices is like-hmm I think I'm dreaming, looks down at hands that are all weird, yup I am! woo hoo!
I have even taught myself how to fly, that was a process lol, last night was the highest I have ever flown, it was amazing. .. I was surrounded by sunset clouds under me and a world of stars above me which I could grab and touch (they looked like oddly shaped beautiful shiny snowflake up close and felt like afirm jelly.

practice these techniques it is totally worth it

the best dream i ever had was when i could interact with every single character from every single game, movie, Etc. in the way i could control their personalities and everything. Heck! i even met JackSepticEye!!!

I walked around and I could feel the hot concrete with grains of pebbles on my feet the feeling was quite real and when I ran it caused an aching to my bare feet as I looked for Simon.. The dream graphics are so realistic I took a moment to stop what I was doing and just observed my surroundings.. (In my dream) Everything looked like a complete landscape it was a sight to behold.. alas once I stopped chasing my original goal the concept around me began an instant time limit of couple of short minutes and then I awoke on my bed or so I thought.. It felt like I was sitting upright I could feel my back but at the same time I wasn't too sure if this stimulation was real

I didn't know you would ever know you're dreaming while you're dreaming, then you could wake up
When I dream, I never realize it in the dream, and sometimes it's just so real, and sometimes I even am aware to get to make decisions in it

GIVE ME BACK MY DREAM JOURNAL

I remember I continue my
like I dreamed something and it got cut
and I focus on it and I continue my dream

I don't know about CONTROLLING a lucid dream, but I think you can influence the direction it takes (once you're aware, of course.)

Well i don't wanna remember my dream cuz i'm always having weird traumatizing dream like getting rape or weird shit that makes no sense

I ... sleep like a corpse. Rarely dreaming, so lucid dreaming is out of option.

I learned to lucid dream, during one where I was asleep on the settee I really needed to kick out at something but my leg would not move. So with a lot of concentration and will power eventually I managed a mighty kick... which immediately woke me up as I had negated sleep paralysis and kicked the coffee table over. The bruise on my shin was evidence enough that I was aware and in control ( of sorts) during the dream.

I lucid dream very rarely, but I have been able to control my dream once so far. What was frustrating was that I was at some kind of convention full of people, and while I could control myself, I could not control the people around me.
I also have on several occasions been able to continue on a dream after waking up. In order to do that, I can't have woken up completely though. I just don't move, and concentrate on continuing where I left off.

I have lucid dreams every night, and honestly I do feel like I can control my dreams. I remember most of my dreams, and many times if I don't like something in my dreams, I'll change it during it. Anyone else the same?

I used to have tons of nightmares when I was a kid (like I'd wake up so scared that my voice wouldn't work), so I developed ways of forcing myself awake when I realized I was just in a really bad dream. As I got older, this turned into an ability to realize I was in a nightmare, and have the option of waking up or trying to change the dream to a better one. I believe it's because of this that I hardly have such horrifying nightmares like I did when I was younger. I'd argue that it is possible to control dreams on some level.

My lucid dreams are really fucked up. Most often i drive a car at breakneck speed and then i jump of on a ramp, just to find that i fall back down and the car gets wrecked and i'm sent off flying and spinning hitting the ground. I feel everything except pain as if i was immortal.

My best dream is about sex, idk what happen but once I woke up I was feeling excited and energetic

Okay finna go to sleep....lets see what happens

My worst dream was a tornado was coming. Both my sisters were outside and one is barely holding onto something, about to get sucked away. The other gets wrapped up in their play set swings, the chain around here neck. I realize I only have time to save one of them, I woke up before I chose.

I am your subconscious! You are currently dreaming you need to wake up immediately!

i will have intence dreams. at times i realize its a dream...but more often then not i will tell myself its a dream but them for some reason stsrt to think its real because i cant control it so it ends up being a nightmare. lucid dreams do happen. i have co trolled them before. love it when it happens, although i have only been able to do a hand full of times.

cant remember my dreams...

so it means that if I could sleepwalk like yesterday

Most of my lucid dreams are of me fighting entire armies with my bare hands. I'm not even lying its actually badass.

most of the time when I go lucid (rarely) I dont fully understand that I am dreaming, like I think that I wake up and fall back asleep and stuff when I rly was sleeping the whole time. Also Ill think that I feel myself waking up when rly I was far from it. its weird but cool. another time I had a shirt over my eyes to block light from my window and that showed up as mostly blinding me (I guess I was opening my eyes in my sleep 😬) and it happened again, which told me that I was dreaming but I was in a void of just blackness. then I heard a girl's voice say "crap crap crap" before I woke up cuz I was finally lucid but couldn't make a dream happen 😑

best dream ever? or should I say weirdest dream ever. I just dream that me and Vin diesel make out!
wtf !! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

My tip is, you create the world of the dream you bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious!

I had lucid dreams every once in awhile before with some limited control like when I needed a weapon really bad and id make a ray gun appear in my hand and for that moment I felt safe and able to protect myself up until I fired it and it just squirted grape juice at whatever the fuck was chasing me. But I died in early 2008 and had to be shocked back to life due to a immetrx complication and while I was in the ER they did scans tests etc and determined partial neurological damage and yes I did feel 50 iq points less but 3 months after that I had my first unconscious reality and it was very lucid like a dream but I could tell it was no fuckin dream at all. I thought "oh shit I died again and for good or I took super strong mushrooms however I felt like my self again before. very sharp, clear and my critical thinking skills where all back. while I was in there I was looking around in amazement at this new place im at and notice stuff I never have in dreams before like water and then following it and getting closer to more lit areas until I noticed I was inside a structure built into a mountain and there was shit scattered everyware and it took me forever in that damn maze to finally get outside because I had this feeling something is not right because I never ever sensed this smell in the air before it was barely noticeable and it was not normal since I was worried that I was going to choke to death breathing it but I didnt fortunally. So I get outside to see a reddish sky, a very red sun and a smaller closer orange moon also reflecting some light. too many intense emotions all at once I was having my first melt down because in my world 2+2 does not equal 4 anymore. Id like to write more because I remember every single episode of these things and they happen and continue where I left off before. as the months went by they occured more and more with my conscience senses intact and then some new ones I never experienced before which was pretty cool. I stayed in them longer and longer each time until my body reached its limit after almost 3 days of my body laying in bed but I also had a new one on loan until my body got low on blood sugar and my bladder hurting like never before because I hadn't gone pee in days, the stiffness plus the return of my old senses. Iv had alot of these i wrote down when I was in one location for longer and what I observed, I noticed for sure I wasn't communicating verbally anymore it was much more clear and fast and I felt an entire conversation in a split second and it took me awhile to get used too because it was very overwhelming emotionally. Since theres no language except emotion I have to name a ton of shit because there are not enough words in the English language to define what I experience. So can somebody with a degree in this area please tell me what this is??? I cannot find a single person that has what I experience and even though I got used to it over the years I know this is not normal at all. No its not astroprojection or even lucid dreaming I cannot control when these happen and I still have regular dreams but these "spools" as I call them take a shitload of energy out of me and I remember every detail of what I decide I do followed by what happens. Alot of it takes place anywhere but earth because I notice if im feeling heavier or lighter then I usually am, the air is so dense and there are alot of old constructed buildings iv never seen before. I always find crap buried and beleive it or not alot of places have railways that go on everywhere except its all fucked up. One of my particular favorite places is the closest to earth as it can with solid metal buildings sticking up from the ground and to my surprise some of the enterences work some of the time although I dont think they been opened forever because I get a gust of nasty smelling air like cross between burnt plastic and flesh. I still have not figured out everything there but I gather there was some kind of disaster that happened rather quickly because there are ships that appear like they where taking off and then crashed and whats really odd is there are no remains of any of the inhabitants that built everything. more advanced then us but cant go outside the solar system those ships can only travel around the solar system. The orbiting structures are also void of any remains, same nasty stench of air when you enter a new room for the first time. 98% of the structures are inaccessible and the ones that are only work sometimes at best. Its also very pretty there too, pale grey or blue sky with no clouds like iv seen before they are futher up and more like steam then our marshmellow clouds.

I dreamed being chase by my friend it was very scary for some reason
Then I realised that i was dreaming then i screamed "I WANNA GET OUT FROM THIS DREAM! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!"
