I lol'd at the other guy, talking about mythical crapola and all. There's a specific SCIENCE to dreaming, from the little we know about it.
First off, the term is called "Lucid Dreaming", which translates into "Conscious dreaming". And there are several steps to fully becoming lucid, but it's still rare.
Lucidty yanks away the cloud over your consciousness while dreaming, and it stops becoming a movie for you, you can switch from third/first person views, even fly while lucid. It starts by remembering your dreams.
This can be achieved by writing them down as soon as you wake up, when the dream is still fresh. Why? Because we ALWAYS dream when we sleep, we just instantly forget it when we wake up, or it gradually goes away. Chances are you lucid dream a whole lot but can't remember it. I've personally done this writing technique and I've noticed a rise in dream rememberings. It doesn't garuntee you'll lucid dream, but it raises your chances.
That's the first step, it'll take a few months before you notice anything, maybe a week. I have about fifty pages stock full of interesting dreams from when I decided to try and do this.
PRO TIPS WHEN YOU LUCID DREAM:
Some people report having a "Dream Guide", who apparently is your subconscious in these dreams, and enables you greater control and sometimes tips about your mind's inner workings. I mean, who best knows you but you? Right? I've personally recognized my "dream guide", but all I've witnessest is a repeating character that represents my subconscious, nothing mystical.
FYI my subconscious is a girl. :l
Whether or not you believe me about the dream guide is up to you, I'm still a skeptic and I lucid dream all the time.
LEARN TO FLY: This is the hardest part about lucid dreaming, it's much harder to control superpowers. I recommend practicing by just floating off the ground, or jumping off cliffs if you have them. Don't be afraid, you can't die.
CREATING OBJECTS/PEOPLE/ANIMALS:
This is my favorite. It's really like spawning an object in front of you as you do with bricks in ROBLOX. I once created a swarm of locust that ate an entire city. :)
TELEPORTING:
The easiest way to do this is to just spin around really fast, doesn't garuntee, but it's fun.
THE MEANING OF LIFE:
If you become lucid near one of your characters, ALWAYS ASK THEM THIS: "What is the meaning of life?" I've gotten quite a few answers. From "Math" to "Love" to *Shoves face in blender* (Actually that character was my dad, he shoved his face in the blender then disappeared. :l ) If you meet whatever represents your subconscious, be sure to ask them this. You might be surprised by what you hear, or not. I still haven't had the opportunity to ask her this. Good luck.
Lucid dreaming is very, very real. It's not a cult, it's not magic. It's science, it's your mind. |

I have semi-lucid dreams, if possible. I can't spawn anything, but I can fly.
Last night I was lucid dreaming about an island resort. It had my friend in it, so I guess he might be my subconscious. I got sucked in the under toe, and then found myself in an airplane. Then I fell out of the airplane, and found myself at a seafood buffet table. |

@Everyone
How can this help! It's soo easy to do! All you have to do is think of nice things in your dream. Like if you have a crush on somebody. Dream about him/her then put him/her in dream to help you fight the bad guys and monsters creeping around! Mostly I don't have bad dreams because all I think about is my bf Jacob. So I mostly dream about his house,being romantic and being kind. I used to have nightmares but I mostly controlled them. AND I get scared anyways for no good reason even though I controlled it! Then I realize I controlled all of it and put in some of my best friends to help :D! Try this advice instead :P ^ |

| You mean America's Got Talent? I didn't get in, but I plan on trying next year. They were only picking 30 acts out of millions of people. I had to wait about 12 hours, but, it was worth getting to sing there. It went pretty good even though I wasn't picked. |

@Future: With your mind, it's impossible to describe.
OH YES, IMPORTANT THING I LEFT OUT.
HOW TO GET LUCID:
This is the hardest, recognizing you're IN a dream. Half the time when you dream you don't care that you're in Bejing speaking Chinese, when you're American and speak English. Or that you're flying in space with a cow, it's just normal to you during dreaming. Make sure every day or so you look at the clock. Electrical devices usually NEVER work properly in dreams. If you find yourself semi-conscious, or if you make it a habit, look at a clock in your dream. Look away for five or ten seconds, chances are when you look back the time will be completely different. This and several other properties will give dreams away.
1. Electrical devices refusing to work as they should.
2. Abnormal ammount of fingers.
3. You're the wrong gender.
4. You're the wrong species.
5. Etc, etc.
Keep an eye out for these, it'll make the process faster. |

I think I do remember lucid dreaming only once.
Someone with a HUGE Daddy-Long Legs-like robot started attacking my house that was on a cliff (That was in my dreams, my house does not sit on a cliff) but I managed to get control the dream and spawn a rocket launcher, and take down the daddy long legs.
Unfortunately I met the pilot and he tried to kidnap me in a mall. I ran away, spawned a shelf full of soap and shampoo, then punched the pilot and squirted the shampoo in his eyes and put all the soap in his mouth.
Thats all I remember. |
