Hmm... I've had varying success with lucid dreaming, this looks kind of interesting but seems like it could just be a shot in the dark at actually working.

It will not work. Lucid dreams are just dreams you subconsciously wake up in. They happen by chance, not induction. The best ones are the ones where you get to fly.

I dream with awareness all of the time.

Back in 1998, I dreamed of numbers and played those number in a lottery - something like a 70 million dollar jackpot.

EVERY number was off by one.


Should have "bracketed".

Wow. Anyone ever read Carlos Castaneda's Teachings of Don Juan books about Yaqui indian shamanism? Being about to do lucid dreaming at will is the first step to becoming a "sorcerer" (magician, psychonaut, interdimensional traveller, etc.) Certain Tibetan Buddhist consciousness-expansion techniques also focus on being able to do lucid dreaming at will.

I used to be able to Lucid dream. It was incredible, really, especially the parts where I could see (minor) moments from the next day.

Then one day it stopped. It's been years. What?

There's nothing airy fairy mystical/magical about lucid dreaming. It's just having a dream in which you consciously know you dreaming. So, instead of just floating along with the story, you can consciously change things in the dream. No big deal, when you think about it. Your "awake" conscious mind is just present and functioning within your dream.

Actually that is wrong, you can induce them.

What are you, schizophrenic? Lol


You aren't educating anyone here. I'm well aware of what a lucid dream is.

The b.s. comes in the "all my lottery numbers were off by one" and "i could see stuff from the next day that hadn't happened yet".... absolute bull.

Ah the internet.

Don't know, I think it could happen. It's explanable by modern physics. But it won't work if you think in terms of time being a straight continuous line, as in old pre-Relativity physics.

I've had this feeling before. It's always fascinated me. The funny thing is, it's really hard to tell whether you really knew something was about to happen, or if your brain told you after the fact that you knew it was going to happen. Deja vu is a very weird thing.

My best guess at this point is that our brains do a decent job of predicting small things that might happen. It's the scattergun approach: you dream hundreds of scenarios over the course of a month, and when one of those actually happens it triggers an "I've seen this before" response that you can't quite attach to a memory. Now you're feeling like you predicted the future when in fact you dreamed of a scenario--usually involving people and places you know well--so close that a barely-remembered dream comes to mind.

Our brains are so weird.
