Spoke to a chap I know who claims to be able to do this and gets up to all sorts in his dreams.

Anyone here tried or can do it?

I can do it.

Sometimes I can realise I'm in a nightmare and change the dream to something else like you would flick to the next track on a CD.

I have been know to succeed in achieving lucidity in dreams, the key is to look at your hands.

Oddly I sometimes feel less successful achieving lucidity when I'm awake

Don't know about lucid dreaming but If I've been on a bender for a few days, I get that terrible sleep paralysis thingy.

Yep, do this all the time.

Once, I agreed with my brother to 'meet' in our dreams at his place of work (where I'd never been) and for him to show me where he kept something that I couldn't possibly know where it was. He showed me where they kept the coffee - and when we discussed it the next day, it was right! Spooky or what?!

I agree with nervous. Think you've got a better chance if you just ask her!!!

No, sleep paralysis, where you wake up and are not able to move. Different thingy.

I think I get this a least a couple of times a week, I feel like I'm far underwater and I have to swim upwards to get to the surface and then I wake and I'm usually very out of breath. Not sure if this is just a dream rather than a medical condition though.

I can lucid dream very easily if I have a few hours to spare in the morning, I wake around 6AM most mornings and then if I concentrate on a old bloke I see in my dreams sometimes I seem to enter a old house on a american type of farm he lives in then I ask him questions and he points me in the right direction but never tells me the answer (git!). I just put this down to my subconsious generating a figure that I can understand. I really enjoy talking to the old git though .

That is seriously weird.

Did you actually meet in the dream? (both of you did the same things?)

racylady that is v cool.

Is it a skill you have had to develop or something you have always been able to do?

I can understand the concept of lucid dreaming but two people having a mutual experience is something else.

tell me more.
