Ive been setting my alarm multiple times in the morning to induce dreams. weird that i realized that before reading anything about lucid dreams. this is the first time i ever researched the subject. Is it weird that ve witnessed my death in several dreams? I die and then i leave my body and i can see myself lifeless.

I think you "think" you punched yourself in the face due to your dream but that's physically impossible as you need REM sleep to dream and your body enters a state of paralysis in REM sleep, making movement unlikely, let alone punching yourself.

Sounds pretty legit. Ive actually punched my self in the face while asleep and it woke me up similar to the technique described in the passage except i was dreaming i was being assaulted. I know it is more common in women for a dream like that to occur so ha. What i want to know is why can't i remember some dreams although i remember others regardless if they are important or not. Some times i remember some for short periods of times but others forever. Also, i never appear in my dreams like others can see me but when theres a mirror i cant see myself or im someone else and sometimes i go part blind during dreams like i see things then things start going dark kind of like my range of vision is lowering each time i blink kind of like retinitis pigmentosa. These symptoms are very common throughout my dreams and i want to understand what they mean.

Dan, what you have experienced is a nod. It is what many opiate users experience and enjoy. They can be very fun but if you become addicted they can be terrifying when you go through withdrawal.

I broke my leg a couple of summers ago and was on hydrocodine and would get drowsy from the drugs and would take many naps during the day. I would have random and reoccuring dreams occasionally. They are fun.

Sometimes what I do is set my alarm way earlier than I need to be up so that I can keep waking and falling asleep every 9 minutes, which is the amount of snooze time. I have 2-4 somewhat lucid dreams in the morning.

Interesting article. I have only had one wild before and am research ways to have more. I am definitely going to try the hand raising exercise as that sounds like a particularly good idea. Cheers, Brett. Brett Jackson's last blog post: Improving Dream Recall
