Lucid Dreams experimenting... (lemmy.world)

I was trying to Lucid Dream a few years ago and forgot about this topic and the last days I have been trying to provoke it.

I also work nightshift only since a few years and quit using it because I never had issues sleeping after work but now I threw in 3 mg of Melatonin and what else can I say other than I had the most lucid dream ever in my life.

It felt so real. Normally I get scared after looking into the mirror of my bathroom because it was pitch black and had no reflection. Numbers never made sense either. So while I knew all that I ran to the bathroom and looked into the mirror knowing it won't show reflections and started laughing "It worked".

It's a funny subject to me because everytime I watched the youtube videos and read on the internet I was like "weirdos" and now I can't wait to go back to sleep tomorrow night.

I have a feeling though it was a one time experience. Especially if I don't use melatonin.

Anyone else have had lucid dreams? Perhaps someone doing it daily?

The best way to trigger them more often is to get in the habit of holding your nose closed and try to breathe through it while you’re awake. Obviously you won’t be able to breathe through it while awake but doing this enough will get you more likely to think to do it in a dream where you will be able to “breathe” through it and know your dreaming.

On the flip side I’ve found weed typically stops dreams, believe it’s due to affecting REM sleep.

Follow-up 4 months later.

I had a nested dream, and was able to achieve lucidity in the deepest one (plenty!) thanks to pinching my nose. Thanks for the advice.

Nice glad it worked for you too!

What a convenient method!

I've always done the "look at a clock twice" thing, but...

Different time? Huh, the clock must be broken. Cool.

No clocks here. Whatever, I'm probably not dreaming.

Haha
