had a dream there was a cafe where you could get one dollar off your meal for each book you read, up to 15 dollars off

>>158412
Do manga and visual novels count?

Probably had my first lucid dream experience.
I was fully in control, not only of the dream but my consciousness as well; I was awake if I wanted to, and dreaming if I wanted to.
The dream was also extremely vivid, felt very real. Being the perv that I am, I was doing some naughty things in the dream. Had to constantly wake up before doing anything just to make sure I was dreaming and wasn't fucking up my real life.
Truly was amazing.

>>158412
pretty sure i've read at least 15 books in my lifetime

i had a dream about a doctor telling me that my leg wouldnt heal up, that the injections wouldnt work anymore, it scares me a bit

I dreamed about having a doll house. All the stuff that went with it like the doll clothes and furniture got spilled out on the floor of the room I was in. I was having to sort through it quickly and figure out what I wanted to keep because the room was on fire or something.

I've never played with and don't own a doll house. So I've got no idea what it's supposed to represent.

It was the end of a dream where I was laying in bed with someone else and we were having to quickly roll over and pretend to be asleep because someone or something else kept coming into the room we were in. I think we might have been in this spooky large house I've never been in before IRL. Every now and again I dream about it. It's massive and the rooms are alive or something. We're always having to tip toe through the house and into the rooms that aren't safe to do things I can't remember. I don't know if we're the care takers or what. But I'm always with the same two friends whenever I dream about it and we're always having to go into rooms we don't want to go in to retrieve items or check on things or whatever the fuck. Usually, we go in a group or at least 2 people together. One will go into the room to do whatever we're doing while the other stands at the door being careful to never lose sight of the other person. If they do reality warps and the spooky house can attack the person in the room while the other thinks everything is a-okay.

I don't know why my mind comes up with this nonsense.

I had a dream where I put a dry instant noodle brick into a VCR player

>>158744
What was on there?

>>158745
Nothing, the dream then became about fishing broken noddle fragments out of the VCR

>>158744
That reminds me of a dream where I was a kid again and I stuck a mysterious cassette tape that promised to be a revolutionary horror ARG into the player, not expecting much.
The game made Freddy Krueger possess family members and friends at random moments in whatever short unrelated dream came next, which made them suddenly walk towards me, very slowly, with a menacing expression. If I grabbed their arms and yelled and them, they would instantly snap out of it.
I was beginning to think this was a pretty pathetic game until it hit me: I couldn't keep up my guard forever, but he just needed to get lucky once. The only way to escape was to eject the tape, which was stuck in the player in the first dream. How do you return to a previous dream on command?

>>158758
>How do you return to a previous dream on command?
You just get its tape player in front of you and break it, duh.

I had a dream sometime last year where I was talking to somebody that said they would call me when I woke up and reveal the secrets of the universe to me. I was woken up by the landline ringing. I was groggy so it took me too long to answer. When I finally got to the phone whomever was calling hung up. I tried to call the number back but it was unlisted.

>>159016
How do you not get up and run to the phone after waking up after such a dream. You could've shared the secrets of the universe with Kissu!
Realistically speaking, your brain probably made up the whole story once it heard the landline ringing.

>>159018
Precognition and precognitive dreams are more common and mundane than you think. Probably not that anon's case though.
NTA

>>159016
That phone number? ME.

Had a dream about That's So Raven.

>I spat on the ground, to you know, look cool. Then I woke up and I was covered in spit. Then I woke up again, and now I wasn't covered in spit, because it was all a dream.

>University is a time to learn. You can't be expected to know everything right off the bat. You ask a typical computer science student what they know about, say, a Scalar Set C? Nothing of course, why would a theoretical computer science student know anything about how to write a CSS?

And then there was a scene where we were sliding a chair to point at an elevator to demonstrate k*F(x) = F(k*x) since it didn't matter whether you moved the chair horizontally or vertically first.

Had a dream where one show-off I dislike was deeply aware of the Grid, which is the ontological infrastructure of connections between dreams, dreamworlds, dream elements. I suppose that's what I got through the Grid - what he was dreaming about - because he doesn't know that much, even if he wanted to. The Grid is here even in the felt air of the waking world, but does it matter it me? Can it even matter to me? That's the tough part of the reality I have to face, as of now.

Had a dream that I was a girl and with two other girls. We broke into some royal's private hotel room and were doing naughty things on the futon. We used some kind of magic to sneak in and hide our presence from the staff. But the royal came to inspect the room because they were going to use it soon or something. So we all had to sit really still on the futon and not make any noise otherwise our invisibility magic would fail and they'd discover us. We got lucky and they didn't want to sit on the futon so they left after a few minutes. The two other girls kept trying to shove tail plug up my asshole but I kept blocking them and we were giggling like school girls. But then something loud crashed into the ground outside and I woke up.

Napped and saw a dream.
I don't know the exact number of people, so I'll say 5 each.
It was like a 5v5. Me and other 4 people vs another group of 5 people.
We all had aptitude for special powers, but my team opted to not claim them, while the other team had them. They weren't the good kind of powers. Think the cursed ones in Dainana.
There was also a time rewind factor. After every battle, some kind of cute loli fairy or something would appear, eat a single toblerone looking piece of chocolate, and we were back to the start, ready to kill each other again. There were two fairies, but I don't know what the second one was for, I'm guessing one for us and one for them?
The battle either ended when my group killed everyone in the other team or it was when the number of time loops was maxed out. Can't say for sure because my team won in the last loop. I know my team retained memories of all previous battles, but not so sure about them. Each loop was like our way to garner information on the other group. The stage was a huge mansion with a private pool and everything.
My group was fighting an uphill battle; against people with special powers while all we had were guns. We would fight them, and every time we got completely annihilated, but each time we learned something new about how to defeat them.
One loop before the final, my group had killed them all, shot them straight through their heads, we thought we'd won, but then they all came back, it had something to do with their faces. We decided we'd have to completely annihilate them from existence if we wanted to win. The loop wasn't over yet, they had to kill us all for it to be over. I don't remember how it went the previous times, but this time they were dead set on torturing me.
They kept me barely alive, they'd heal me just enough. I was scared. I was certain it wouldn't end soon because they'd keep be on the brink of death to do whatever. I thought I was in for hell.
Then they started arguing over something. I saw that as my chance and took a run for it, trying to kill myself before they do. However, there was nothing I could use to kill myself. I ran out the property, there was a huge downward slope. I thought I'd jump off it and die, but when I landed I wasn't dead. My head was ringing, but I kept running for something proper. One of them was chasing me. I kept running. Then I see a pole in the distance. I run towards it. Using all the momentum I'd gained, I pivoted on the pole and slammed my head on the wall besides it. That still wasn't enough to kill me. I'd given up, started thinking "at least I won't be conscious to feel the pain"; but then, suddenly, there was a sharp object right under where I'd landed. Without hesitation I used it to stab myself in the neck, and moved it left to right to behead myself. I died. After my death, I was still lingering there for some time. I overheard the one chasing me say "the next time will be the last", and that's when I see a fairy appear and eat a piece of chocolate, the last piece.
Finally, the final final loop, the final piece of tobelerone in the fairy's pack. The dream skipped straight to the end. All my teammates were dead except me. I lured one from the other team into a huge pool (which had a shark in it, for some reason...). The shark started eating at them but they had help, another from the other team joined in and killed the shark. I regretted not jumping in to fight with the shark, maybe then I'd kill two of them at once.
I jumped in, but all too late. The shark was dead, and everyone from the other team was closing in on me, they all entered the pool. I was cornered. I raised my hands. Through god's grace, one of them thought it meant something, and told the rest of them to stop. They'd thought I was going to accept my aptitude and claim a power. I went with it. They all sat around me, we did some kind of ritual to guess my aptitude (it was "wine") and see what my power was. All the while, we were still in the pool.
Then, while all of them were busy with me and the ritual, someone from outside the pool said "pour in the lava!". Didn't look like they'd registered what was said. I waited until the last second to jump out. When I jumped out, they all looked surprised. Then it hit them, lava was being poured onto all of them. They tried to get out, but it was too late, they were already moments away from being submerged in lava.
I won.

Dreamt I was in a factory with hundreds of other workers in uniforms, our boss taught us how to cook eggs. Amidist the strangers I encountered a former schoolfriend and we pierced the eggs and chin-chinned.

I wanted to have a dream where I was balls deep in Yukari and cumming a truckload in her. Instead, I got a dream where the US government decided to shut down every single website except social media through an act of forced net centralization.

I was able to have a lucid dream earlier.
I was in sort of a huge movie theater, with the red carpet and long, darkly lit hall.
Kinda seemed like a mall, since the doors off to the side didn't all lead to theater rooms.
I realized I was asleep and instead of instantly waking up from excitement like I usually do, I was able to keep myself asleep for a while.
I wanted to sex.
But there were only babas near me, so I tried generating a qt. It didn't work. I couldn't really do anything but walk around.
Then I started looking around in a few rooms, including a public restroom, but had no luck.
Eventually I found a theater room playing something (felt like looking at a low poly video game) with young people watching. I was looking around for a cute girl to try taking with me to the restroom but then I woke up before picking one.

I'm training. Soon I won't ever have to wake up again.

>>159424
Also, while the hall felt like it was packed with people before I realized that I was dreaming, after realizing it seemed really empty, and I could mostly just see a few people off in the distance.
None of the rooms I went into before entering the theater room had any people at all in them.

I was going to post about this after I woke up yesterday but I didn't have time. I've forgotten a lot of the dream now but I had one of those really vivid dreams that I think is going to be fresh in my memory for a long time.

I don't remember anything but the end of it now. I was chasing around and I think fighting this girl. We both had magical powers and could fly. She had lines coming out of her connected to things that looks like stars. Spreading in all directions for as far as I could see even into the sky. They were purpleish/dark. I got that tingly feeling that sometimes goes down my spine and the same things came out of my body. Except they were brighter and a different color (closer to blue+white).

I knew these stars/lights represented all the lives I've lived and would live. So did hers. We'd been locked in battle against each other through all of them. I tried to catch up with her and yelled for her to come fight me fair and end this once and for all. But she would dodge and fly away any time I got close enough to land a blow. She was responsible or had a part in every bad/evil thing that had happened to me across all my lives and timelines.

I almost caught up to her but I woke up right before I managed to close the gap.

>>159424
Try not to rush things when you get lucid, lucidity isn't a 1 or 0 state but a percentage of sorts. When you just become lucid, you're only at the low percentages. if you start chasing things immediately you'll promptly lose focus or worse, wake up.
Next time when you get lucid, you need to stop for a moment and get your bearings. Slow your pacing down and try to relax and take the scenario in, you want to wake up your critical thinking further before you continue.
Things you can do is sitting down and just listening to your surrounding for a minute, look around and describe to yourself what you see in detail. This sharpens the clarity of your mind and also makes the dream more "high definition", more detailed and immersive.

You also want to avoid being "desperate", you know how people often say that they can't run away from some creature or really want to do something but can't? When your lucidity percent is low, the more you want something the bigger a subconscious expectation of "what if this won't work" takes the lead and controls your dream in that direction. When you gain proper critical thinking, you can remove those doubts by trying things that make it logically sensible that it'll work out. IE when a creature is chasing you and you can't run, if you think about it, there's no reason why you couldn't just fly away. Wanna hook up with a shab? Bring flowers and chocolate or something. It's a lot like the Matrix, when you start to believe, you get more powerful in the dream.

I just took a couple of naps and had the biggest Kissu dreaming session.

Started off with Verniy blogposting as if he was drunk and in need of support. He was complaining about how the rest of the team was supposedly too easily swayed by reports from anons and that they're plotting to kick him out and take over the site because he was too strict and not in line with the general community anymore. He was then trying to find loopholes in the site to keep control, even though he obviously owns it, and was considering donating to get access to special features, kind of like some unrealistically stupid cartoon character. With every post he made, he would attach smelly 2D feet with stink clouds, though he later on dialed it back and only posted detailed soles in really thin socks. He might have tried to pander to me.

There were like 2 or 3 more mini dreams that were heavily inspired by Kissu, but I sadly can't remember them right now. I think this happened because, after I woke up from the first dream, I kept retelling it to myself in the hopes of remembering it better later so that I can post about it, and I fell asleep again during those thoughts, dreaming of similar things.

The last dream was me getting up really quick to post about my dream, but I got up so quick that somehow my head got locked in a really weird position. I went to a doctor who was the personification of my type (something like pic related) and who conveniently lived inside my bathroom. She was very rude and told me off, but became worried and nursed me back to health when she realized that I got sad. This gave me the confidence to ask her if she's already got plans for the day, to which she invited me to her place for dinner. From this point onwards, she became increasingly rude again and told me to hurry my ass up, which I did after autistically telling her how beautiful I think the moles on her face are.
While I was getting dressed, I remembered the discussion about lucid dreaming in this thread and started to become semi-conscious about the fact that I'm in a 10/10 shab dream. However, instead of waking up immediately, my desperation first spawned in some random guy out of nowhere to playfight and laugh with MY doctor before she threatened to leave with just him if I won't get done quicker. Then I woke up.

How long until I stop constantly dreaming about showing up late for work or the machines breaking?

I think your advice is helping as I had two lucid nights in a row. excuse the formatting barely awake now and tyoed this all in notes on my phone each time:

had two nights in a row where I realized I was dreaming and have been able to do more and more
skipping the lead-up: I fell off a hotel bed in the dream and scrounged around for my glasses and phone. my glasses were broken, the arm was like a chewed up straw. I was frustrated and knew I needed to order new glasses and have them sent to me here. then I thought to myself that I was supposed to get new glasses before the trip, and wondered suddenly why I hadn't. I had a month left before going, right? so I checked the phone and it just showed a big 9 for the date and I knew that I was asleep. I looked at my hand and it was like a picasso drawing. I turned around and the wall behind me shifted into the big window of my house and showed my neighborhood in autumn. I tried keeping calm but woke up soon after.


today's dream: skipping the long lead-in I ended up free from some guys chasing me and was in a room with my mom. she was speaking strangely and I thought to myself that she speaks so much like a nagging wife that I must have a mother complex. then she begins speaking as if she was trying to "appeal" to what I wanted (I did NOT want) and I realized that I was asleep. I looked at my hand and watched my fingers stretch and shift as I tried to calm down and ignore my mom. after a few moments I felt confident in nyself and said out loud that I wish she'd fuck off.
I heard a poof noise and looked up from my hand. it was a midget with a grey suit. he seemed sleazy. balding. he said in a high pitched voice that he'd made my mom fuck off for me "forever" as I had learned to control the dream. I got excited and he told me to stay calm. I kept looking at my hands.
he began asking me a question/riddle about 7 or 17 goats in the western US and the two guys with them. one was named something Green and the other was Pedro something. I hadn't caught how many so I asked him to repeat himself. this is what seemed to fuck me as I soon woke up.

both VERY interesting dreams. the first was at the end of a long sequence that, if I believed in dream interpretation, I'd say represented my anxiety about some travel I'll be doing in a month.

the second represents something I often think. my mom and I have pretty great conversations and we're both pretty funny and I often think thay my ideal woman would at least be able to match me like that. need a witty girl. but my mom in a lot of other ways is very far from ideal.

anyway yesterday I was able to look at my hand for the first time and today I was able to calm down greatly and even actually influenced the dream although it did resist my sending in the david lynch dream midget.

making progress. plus I've never had so many so near to each other either.

excuse the wall of text I just wanted to share ASAP.

People most often become lucid towards the end of their dreams because their body in general is starting to rouse, mind included.

I've been promising a modern guide for lucid dreaming around the internet for what must've been 3 years at least already but i keep procrastinating on it, but i can always give useful pointers

the best way to be lucid in a dream for a long time is to train your lucidity while awake. speaking more sensibly, you want to train your ability to focus, be "mindful" so to speak. if you ever noticed that you zoned out while awake, like you didn't fall asleep or anything but your mind was clearly gone, that's usually the state that your mind in while dreaming.
You've been checking your fingers as a reality check, right? Its a good habit, let me explain why it actually works. You see nonsense all the time in dreams, so why is it that when you look at your fingers suddenly you get lucid and skeptical?
It's because when you look at your fingers, you engage your critical thinking mind, thereby focusing and trying to make sense of things. You stop auto-pilot for a second, look and analyze your fingers, and realize that something's clearly very wrong here.
This can be done more efficiently and effectively though. in general I can suggest two things to any prospecting lucid dreamer, you can do a much better version of a reality check, and/or you could do meditation or a MBSR "course", which is really just a weird guided meditation schedule. Really, just skim the week pages for the meditation practices, pick whichever one feels most usable by you, and do 20 minutes or so each day.
The effects of meditation really starts to kick in after a while, if you have any expectations of a lucid dream you're almost guaranteed to have one or several same night, but it takes some dedication. naturally, the more time you put into it the better.

the second option doesn't demand that much time but it can be a bit mentally taxing. Instead of looking at clocks or fingers, you want to take a moment, step back, and recount your "schedule" up to the point that you're in. Basically make a summary of your time so far. When you woke up, was it easy to get out of bed, what did you eat, did you watch or read anything, basically a chronological order of your day or even week.
This exercise is surprisingly mentally taxing, but it works like a motherfucker. as you rummage in your memory you also let critical thinking do some background work on the details. when in a dream, you'll immediately know that nothing's adding up and that you're in a dream. The problem with the hand check is that sometimes you get into such a habit that you don't pay really pay attention while doing it at some point leading to it not working occasionally.
This also doubles as focus training because you're in deep focus while doing this, and triples as memory strengthening, which in turn helps you remember your dreams much much better. a three in one method, but like i said, it can feel mentally taxing. I suggest doing only major details at first and working your way up on the detail level as you go. ie, at first you generally recall basic things like what did you eat, did you go to the bathroom/how often, what were you up to on a hourly level, and when you get used to it, level up to things like what was on your mind while you were passing in a hallway, how much water did you drink at a certain moment, if you went on a walk, try counting how many cars or people you see and then recalling it a day or two later, or try recalling a day in general from a day or further ago. It's more memory exercise, but any brain habits you form while awake, pass on to you in your dream state. if your mind is mostly asleep while you're awake, it'll be very asleep in your dreams.

>>159731
I just try to stick my fingers through the other hand. If they go through I'm dreaming. If not I'm awake. Whatever that is.

>>159781
Does that give satisfying results though? lots of people stick to just that and only really get a lucid dream once like a month or so

Hypnagogic dream.
¥ Adventures? Popularity? *slap* *slap* *slap to the face* Not in your case. The likes of you shouldn't even be talked about
Thanks, unconscious!

I dreamt about trying to will a golden coin chocolate into my hand but I couldn't get it to work. I tried looking away from my hand and then looking back but it didn't appear. I remembered I already had a gold coin that I could eat so I ate that. Tasted like state milk chocolate, I marveled over how well my mind could remember the taste. Looking back, so much of the spectacular or scary or weird parts of my dream experiences are just me telling me that something is special, or true, or exactly as I view it, but what's the difference between something really being that way and me forcing myself to think it is that way? I do remember tasting it very vividly, at least.

I dreamed some old man gave me charity and then cried on my shoulder. The mixture of seeing the warmth of compassion and feeling nothing personally was odd.

I had a dream where I posted in one of the sven coop threads and someone immediately responded by posting my full name and address.

The right side of my face hurt. In one dream, I was at a football stadium and there was this extremely bad smell that "hurt". In another dream, I was imagining myself as an Ekans and the Ekans had a right side of his face that hurt. I was aware that I was imagining myself as an Ekans. I thought the Ekans really did exist and that its face really did hurt.

Unfortunately, this implies that sleep does not bring relief to pain, that you are only able to change its form while dreaming. Though it is possible that this only happened because I was unable to forget that my face was hurting.

Also there was another dream about Yugioh but I don't remember anything about it other than that there was pain on the side of my face. There was a Chansey and a blonde woman (Alexis?).

Now I remember there was a dream where I was at a show and tell that didn't have the side pain? I'm not sure.

These two days I've had peculiar dreams. In my dream from two days ago, I was back in the town I grew up with and my dad was driving me home. For some reason however, the entire area was entirely Bayou-like swamp. I exited the car and had to traverse knee-deep water to reach the entrance door to my childhood house. My house was also surrounded by tree branches, not in a sense of decay or neglect however, but more on a stylistic decorated way. Inspecting the branches I could see small beetles walking on them. These beetles were bioluminescent and came in various colors like red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple. They were almost like living crawling christmas lights. I entered my home and at the center of the living room I saw a very tall bird cage. Instead of birds however, there were 5 big frogs seemingly climbing on the cage's fence without issue. I asked my mother in the dream what was this all about and she told me that she was really fed up about mosquitoes so she bought those frogs.
I take a look at the windows to the backyard which normally would just have a normal grassbackyard and my backdoor neighbor's fence. Instead all I saw was a big peaceful lake with a very pretty waterfall in the distance. That's when I woke up.

>>162093
Last night's dream was more absurd. I was on my computer looking up "what happened to the original Sonic design from the Sonic movie" and most of the results were "the original Sonic was found hiding in a garage and was executed by an armed death squad". I clicked on one of the search results leading to a thread of an internet forum that kinda looked like a mix of SomethingAwful and GameFAQs. The OP featured the search result and asked "Thoughts?". Some posters were saying that it was funny, others were talking about how the movie got better after the redesign, and a few asked for proof.
That's when someone posted an embedded video that showed the body camera footage of one of the armed death squad members entering the garage. From under the car, a thing that looked like a blue Kanmarisa with the original Sonic movie design's head emerged and just said "hey guys". That's the moment when one of them shot Sonic with a shotgun and the rest followed through, turning the original ugly movie Sonic into a pile of blue mush. That's when I woke up today.

I dreamed there were soulless bodies and souls that each had their own family. And when they met each other, the souls would get this irresistible urge to possess the bodies, which was bad for the bodies for some reason.

Had a revealing dream.
My father had spent $3000 on a radio, me and my brother were so livid, crying our eyes out on how he could have done such a thing. We're not a well off family. We were making a huge scene.
Then, towards the end, I finally thought to be rational, I asked him for how long he'd been planning to get that radio, thinking it was a in-the-moment purchase, turned out he'd been researching it the past year.
Made me realize that he's also an individual person who has their needs and stuff, probably had to give up a lot of stuff when he got married and had kids. And that we were always harsh on him. Maybe not 3K, but I would happily spend 1k on a PC without a second thought myself.

Dreamt I was eating grilled rat in a boat and got warned for something on kissu and then vermin drove me around in a tank and crashed into a tree.

Had a dream where a pet goldfish does origami by telling her owner how to fold the paper. At the end, the fish starts blowing lots of bubbles and makes vroom noises when she's done -- it's an origami racecar!

i had a dream where i had a super nice sweater that was sand colored with a vibrant purplish gash kinda print on it. also i had a very weird hairstyle.

Factorio dream

I just had my first Alice dream.
Alice and I were at a shopping centre in Japan and I was being overly clingy with her and she got creeped out when I asked her what we should have for dinner.

I'm sorry Alice....

When I dream about 2hus it usually ends with them getting weirded out by me.

dreamed I was a girl that could travel back through time and I kept suggesting to his family that an old man that was about to die and always freezing take a trip to the sauna and his grandson kept peeing everywhere which was gross (all my dreams have to include pee these days) and I said something sexy in french to some other guy's harem and then space police said that I was to eventually be killed permanently because I was dangerous and that I would have a head start and I said I would give away something and die and then I thought what if the police were bad guys
