I got into lucid dreaming and one of the peaks was when I could finally taste dream food.

I was at a dream New Year's party and there were cupcakes and I usually try to eat dream food but it messes with my dream and I usually wake up.

But that time I ate a cupcake and it was like the best cupcake I ever had. I was ecstatic

It was pretty cool.

How does one start lucid dreaming on purpose?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 37 points 4 months ago

There are any number of methods, but the goal is being aware that you are in a dream.

The methods I found most effective were dream journaling and reality testing.

Everyday, you record whatever concrete information you definitely remember happening in the dream, even if it's just a red t-shirt someone was wearing for example.

Write it down somewhere, journal or notepad.

Very rapidly, you'll begin remembering more and more of your dreams.

That helps you recognize a dream state.

The other thing I did is reality testing, when you make sure you're awake.

So I will basically wave a hand or a couple fingers every now and then during the day and try to move something with my mind.

And then one day I was in my garage and as a reality rest, I telekinetically lifted the hood on my car.

And when the hood lifted, I realized "oh, I'm dreaming."

Once you're aware, the most important thing is to stay calm and not make drastic changes. Just tried to influence what you can within the context of the dream, and then you get better and better at it.

what if I'm already always aware that I'm in a dream in my dreams?
like my thoughts are almost always based on that (like, "oh no i broke my phone, but it's ok since it's just a dream")

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That's fine.

Sorry I don't understand your question.

You mean you are like that and is that okay?

That's fine.

If you are aware the entire time, then you are lucid dreaming and you can start to control your environment.

Is that what you mean?

[-] Niiru@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

Keeping a dream journal messed my head up so bad. I couldn't distinguish if my memories were from a realistic dream or if it happened in real life. So I dropped it all together.

One thing you didn't mention is setting an alarm at where your sleep is light. Getting up for a glass of water and back to sleep. Your brain is in an optimal "half-awake" state for lucid dreams.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I mentioned it that there are a bunch of methods but I just mentioned the two that helped me the most.

Wanted to keep things simple.

I didn't like the alarm one. That in particular, seems like it would mess with my head more since it's disrupting sleep.

And I didn't notice any difference when I used it.

There were a bunch of methods I tried, but most ranged from impractical to irritating, I didn't want it to disrupt my life too much.

The dream journaling and reality testing was simple and resulted in fairly rapid awareness of my dreams.

That does sound tough, not being able to distinguish dreams from reality.

I had a really cool one where I was like ninja flipping around a mall sliding down jumping off escalator handrails fighting these zombie dogs.

That was pretty rad.

Not the fella you replied to, but a common method is to keep up a dream journal. Write your dreams down, write down common themes. The idea is that your subconscious will pick up on these things while you're dreaming, and you'll be able to control your dreams.

Beans and bread exclusively sounds like a promising Malnutrition speed run any% attempt.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 months ago

Nah, beans are crazy nutritious

[-] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

But do not include all the nutrients your body needs for a long and healthy life.

There sure are worse options than beans though.

I want you,

No, cause 19 of 20 ain't bad.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They don't? Are you sure?

I feel like beans are one of the few foods that do include all the nutrients you need.

It's like them and quinoa.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No but rice contains the rest.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Interesting, what does rice have that beans don't?

I've always understood beans to be one of the very few foods that include everything.

Fat, protein, carbs, all the vitamins

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Essential amino acids, I believe. That’s why the rice is key, it has those the beans are lacking.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, you're right.

Wow, so quinoa is the remaining champion.

So long, beans. Pretty close though.

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Beans and rice are pretty great together. And you can freeze rice (something I just learned recently)

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I grew up with freezer bags of cooked rice from my parents.

Seems a little crazy considering how easy and quick it is to cook rice.

I wonder what the advantages are.

The only one I know of is that if you want to cook fried rice, it's way better if you have it in the fridge overnight because it dries out a little and then it soaks up all the flavors when you cook it the next day.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

And hempseed. Gruel is a complete protein, it's just cheap so most people haven't ever even tried it. It's kinda like a weird tasting grits or porridge

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Hempseed porridge?

Okay.

Does that taste Good?

Cuz quinoa tastes good and you can add it oyster sauce and hot sauce and all this good stuff without contradicting flavor profiles.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It's certainly an interesting flavor profile. On the savory bitter side, but with some spices I bet you could make a curry flavored porridge, or even something like a General Tso's. It basically tastes nutty and bitter with a tiny hint of grass.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They don't contain one of the 20 essential amino acids. Namely methionine. Nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains contain it though, so you can pair beans with your favorite one of those to have a complete protein.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Tofu is just lacking in methionine, not completely devoid of it, but you should have another source.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Aren't beans like really healthy?

Obviously he should have some veggies and fruit but... beans.

For most people, your brain is probably pretty good at vividly imaging the sensation of licking different surfaces. Try it; focus an imagine licking a towel. Mmm. Fluffy!

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

But DO NOT imagine chewing on a towel

Doesn't help if I have never had, like, waygu so I can even imagine it. Everything'll just taste like chicken 😩

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Its very tender and is an extremely fatty piece of steak. It's definitely amazing but not quite mind blowing. Sometimes in chuck steak you'll find a piece with fine meat grain and intense marbling, and that's fairly comparable to Wagyu.

Wagyu is still beef and tastes mostly the same, just much more tender and fattier.
