My problem is that half the time when I ask this question to myself in dreams, my dream-self mostly determines that it’s not a dream at all but reality! I used to be able to figure out I’m dreaming then happily lucid dream but alas not for a long time now!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a lucid dream. Well I probably have at some point, but maybe I didn’t realise. But then thats not a lucid dream, is it? This is confusing…

I have very vivid dreams. Unfortunatly I can’t control them. But sometimes they are so realistic when I wake up I’m still tired as I’ve been so busy all night! one good one was running a shop in Victorian times. I loved my outfit in that one!

I have lucid dreams all the time, and use them almost as meditations, and I can revisit dreams when I want to, taking different paths each time which is amazing. I always have these dreams in my last sleep cycle, just before waking up in the morning, or if I fall asleep briefly without realising it. I’ve also been having predictive dreams recently, where I’ll dream something and it will happen the next day! Not sure what to make of these as it’s always mundane things, one example was my chair being taken in work, so could just be coincidence, but I’ve had a lot of these, so finding it a bit weird! I think dreams are fascinating, and I’m always disappointed after a night of dreamless sleep!

@Jess it would be so cool to have a cartoon dream, then again mine would probably been some weird Felix the Cat/ Ren and Stimpy/ late night cartoon network craziness : s

BTW love the picture that accompanies the article.

@Jess – Cartoon dreaming sounds great. I will try that in my next nightmare. It will probably involve Joe and Lou.

One way I have found that works, is tell yourself as your drifting off to sleep, to look at your hands in a dream. If you remember to look at your hands sometimes it can trigger a lucid dream. It’s worked for me quite a few times.
