One of the true pioneers of Lucid Dreaming

[conradk]

I had a lucid dream a few months ago that's still in my mind.

It started off with me waking up in my normal bed, in my normal house, but something felt... off. When I left my room, everything was a little dim, like all the drapes and blinds were closed, so only a bit of natural light came through. I found my parents in their room and at first I assumed that they were actually my parents, then I took a second thought because in the dream, my mom was a black woman, and my dad was a white man. While in real life, both of them were white. Immediately I knew I was dreaming, however I assumed that I had only woken up in an alternate reality. I told my parents, "Hey... I'm your son... but I'm not actually your son, I'm from a different reality. I think it happened when I went to bed last night." They believed me and we stared wondering how this could happen. And how I could get back. I ended up going to school later, which looked more like a college campus than a high school campus (just a detail I thought would be included). I told my friends the same thing I told my parents, and that I already tried a bunch of things to try and get back to my world. They believed me, and they thought that as long as I was staying there, maybe I would like to see how my other self was living and how life was in their world. I had a girlfriend there, which was awkward because I have a different girlfriend in real life who I saw previously in the dream. I told my "dream" girlfriend too, and she believed me. So throughout the day my friends took me to do activities and stuff such as going to a dance (which I don't like to do in real life), and just walking around everywhere. Eventually I went back home with my friends and met up with my parents and we talked about my situation. There were major gaps in the dream like going to school and going back home, and actually going to my classes.

I just thought it was so weird and cool how it was almost as if I lived in an alternate dimension for a day. The way I got back was when I went to bed at night, I woke up back in real life. When I woke up I sorta had an existential crisis, like is there actually an alternate dimension? Also, what happened to the alternate "me" that I took control of? Did he and I switch places? (I know it was just a dream but it was cool to think about, especially because the "alternate me" had a way better life than I did) I also thought about how life in that place would've continued if I had stayed there longer, or even forever, and what happened after I left, would they remember me? Would they tell the other me about what happened?
If you read this, thanks, sorry for rambling it's just something I had to talk about.

Hey Giz, I started reading my copy of the Daniel Love book. I’m still around page 80 and it’s really interesting and I’m definitely enjoying the read a lot, but there’s still something that bugs me. It’s something I notice a lot about people who talk about lucid dreaming, and it’s the fact that I feel awareness is not as much of a central part of the talk as it should be. In particular, there is one sentence that made me think. “Unless lucid dreaming, we all believe our dreams are reality”, says the author on page 44, but I have never, not even once, felt like it was the case when I have a regular dream (by which I mean a normal, non lucid dream, not a false awakening and not sleep paralysis. Just a plain old regular dream). When I’m having that kind of dream I never think that the dream is real, I just passively live the experience like a pure, raw perception of images, sounds and sometimes smells, but there’s no “me”, there’s no subject or object of the perception. It’s only when I wake up that I realize I was dreaming, but that doesn’t mean that there’s a moment where I believed the dream was reality at all. There was just pure perception, the sort that comes before any subjectivity, time perception or judgement, what empiriocriticists call “pure experience”. And this is kind of why I have a problem with not talking about awareness and with the tendency of glossing over the fact that we must first learn how to be aware in waking life before hoping to reproduce this behaviour in our dream life. I’m still not done with the book, as I said, but I believe the discussion on lucid dreams sometimes forgets the problem of awareness and just takes for granted that in the dream there is already a “me” that is able to recognise dream signs. It’s not like the issue is not addressed in the book too, it’s just that I always end up thinking this aspect hasn’t been stressed enough.

Hello! Some days agoI was very tired and went to sleep. I slept 14 hours at once. While I was sleeping I woke up a little bit about 3 or 4 times. I forgetted about reality checks so I just turned to my other side and went back to sleep. Is it possible it was a false awekening or I just woke at the end of a sleeping cycle. I'm a beginner btw.

Damn tho, I'm really interested to hear what those Tibetan monks know about lucid dreaming. Thousands of years of teaching and learning LD'ing, I'm sure they know some things that the modern LD movement has yet to discover.

Rever means dreaming.
BAMN only use I have out of 2 years of French.

Idk why but i've always been curious how old u r. I assume between 21-27 lol. Maybe the mystery is better than finding out rn. Maybe wait til 50 or 100k milestone... which I just realized 49k is ur sub count how tf do u not have millions? This channel should have at least in the hundred thousands.

That was the worst intro ever made. No offense though, really like your show.
