Yea, I get them like clockwork if I fall asleep without brushing my teeth. I've done a few experiments where I've purposely not brushed my teeth for at least 2 sleeps and I've gotten the dream everytime. I think it's my subconscious telling me to step up my game.

Considering how much I like my teeth, I wouldn't doubt that as the reason.

After surgery I was put on Percocet's for pain. The strength of a couple of these would be enough to put me out, and when I was sleeping after the percs I found I had the ability to be aware my dreams.


Now where to buy more of these...

I miss the homeland.

Don't think I've ever had a lucid dream, either.

I had one a couple of years ago. I was home alone and watching television in the living room, and this guy who looked like the killer from the movie Scream broke into my house. I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room. For some reason I couldn't get the windows to open up, and so I took a baseball bat and considered it my last stand. That's when I suddenly realized it was a dream, so I opened the door and charged at him...and that's when I woke up.

Nobody proved me that Lucid Dreaming was real. And don't tell me about your experiences. That's like saying you have vision.

"I applied to Stanford University because I wanted to refine my clinical understanding of lucid dreaming: the ability to become conscious during dreams and affect their content.

This isn’t new-age nonsense, either. It’s been tested in the strictest of lab settings.

Dr. Stephen LaBerge of Stanford was considered the world’s foremost researchers in the science and practice of lucid dreaming, and he had pioneered proving its existence. How? It turns out that eye movement, unlike the rest of the skeletal muscular system, is not inhibited by REM sleep. Subjects could memorize horizontal eye patterns (e.g. left-left-right-right-left-right-left) and repeat the patterns upon becoming lucid, which researchers could observe, all while recording brain activity with an EEG to confirm that the subjects where, in fact, in a dream state. Tibetan monks have been practicing lucid dreaming for thousands of years, but it was considered fringe speculation until it was captured in a controlled environment.

There are now dozens of studies that explore the incredibly cool world of lucid dreaming and hint at applications (search “lucid dreaming” here on PubMed).

I recently had dinner with former PayPal employee Mark Goldenson, who was a researcher in both Stephen LaBerge’s lab and Phil Zimbardo’s psychophysiology lab at Stanford, and the conversation convinced me that sharing the basics was worth a post."

I don't remember my dreams often, but when I do the dreams usually take place in that hour before I wake up. Lately they've been re-curring dreams about a guy (a specific guy) and then RIGHT before the good parts come I wake up. IT SUCKS. And then I try to fall back asleep and it never picks up where it left off; OR I will know I'm dreaming (ie. lucid) and will also know that I am about to wake up, and will think to myself, "KEEP DREAMING, KEEP DREAMING!" And then I wake up.

I don't know how you can possibly know this. You have no sense of time when you're sleeping/dreaming.

Why would you want to continue dreaming? I wake up hungry. So hunger > anything.
