re: Are dreams the most unexplained human activity?

I fell down a lucid dreaming rabbit hole the other night. There are some techniques to follow so you can do it almost on demand.

I instantly knew I was in a dream and could do whatever I wanted. Fly, steal a car, fight someone, hook up with that girl, etc. The only downside was that I slept horribly.

I don’t have any proven techniques, but for me there is some trigger or alert to me that I’m actually in a dream (some bizarre moment, a physical impossibility, seeing a dead friend or relative, etc). It could be a variety of things that confirm I’m in a dream. When I realize it, I go to the nearest wall in my dream. When I’m at the wall, I try to climb it and from there I know I’m truly in a dream and can do whatever I want. I fly around but it’s more like floating (like that old Christopher Walken fat boy slim music video type of “flying”). It’s fun and I can do anything I want. There’s a lot of sex. I know I’m in a dream, but it feels just like reality.


I was doing it almost every night several months ago. As you said, the downside was that I would wake up exhausted. It’s horrible sleep. And I can’t control “not to do it”. Haven’t done it in few months and it’s actually a relief. Getting much better rest. I’m overdue for another round of lucid dreams. It’s great, but not every night.
