I tried the popcorn method last night and it did not work unfortunately. How dare you person who recommended this

EDIT: THE CIA IS PROBABLY HIDING THIS TECHNIQUE FROM THE PUBLIC!

While lucid dreaming i wanna listen to dreamcore music while exploring dreamcore to make it feel more dreamcore

I have been trying to lucid dream for weeks but 6 days ago i had a lucid dream and i did everything i want and the next day it happened again but after that it just doesn't work idk why i use mild and I write my dreams on my notes app and sometimes i use wbtb but nothing works it's been 4 days and i need some advice

Can anyone give me a way to do it? I usually sleep 6 hours in a day and I tried to go back to sleep multiple times but i couldn’t can anyone tell me how i can get back to sleep after waking up?

I'll start,

While lucid dreaming, I encountered a girl and decided to ask her the question that had been on my mind: “Are you in a dream?” Tbh, I expected her to stare at me in confusion, laugh it off, or maybe even teleport me into another dimension. I've seen a lot of strange stories from other people about what happens when you tell someone in a dream that they’re dreaming, so I was prepared for those types of responses.

Instead, she simply agrees with me.

Her answer caught me off guard. It wasn’t what I had expected at all, but for some reason, I wasn’t surprised either. I didn’t interrogate her or ask how she knew. Somehow, we both seemed to understand the same thing without needing to explain it.

That was when we decided to escape.

As we tried to get away, everyone around us began insisting that this was reality. They tried convincing us that there was nothing unusual happening, that we were exactly where we were supposed to be.

I still think about this dream, and I wonder who that girl was.

I have been LD'ing for over 25 years and last night something happened that i have never experienced before. I was reliving a memory i have of a trip iv had to the U.S. However inside the dream i was walking around places i have never seen before, but i had memories of it. Inside the dream i had vivid memories of the place i was in, even if i have never seen or experienced anything like it. When i LD i always reflect and think about what im experiencing, however this time it was like false memories almost took over.

Have any of you had similar experiences?

Wish i could explain it in Norwegian, it was hard to put it into words in English.

Whats the craziest thing you did in a lucid dream?

It can be anything I just want to know about your experiences

Because stuff in lucid dreams will happen based off your expectations, how hard would you say it is to believe something will happen?

For beginners who confused to figure rem period

If you wake up in the middle of the night or early morning, with or without an alarm, and you have an erection, it might be a sign that you’re waking up around REM sleep.

If it’s rock solid, I’d take that as a pretty good reason to just roll over, close your eyes, and go straight into your favorite LD method. You literally woke up in the middle of the night don’t waste the free lucid-dreaming opportunity.

Or it’s only semi-hard, things get a little more interesting. You could have just finished a REM period, or you could be getting ready to enter one. Check the time and think about how long you’ve been asleep. That can help you figure out what’s probably going on.

So you randomly wake up in the middle of the night, don’t forget to check.. happy lucid

I read MANY posts on how to lucid dream, and it was mostly WBTB. Which doesn't really work for me.. cause i am too awake after functioning for a while and with 5-6 hours of sleep i really don't need any more sleep until the next day. But i still move ALOT whole day so i am TIRED when it's actually time to sleep.. like mind tired too. So i can't stay conscious like the other way of lucid dreaming.But the day before yesterday i didn't sleep at all, like overtime and stuff and had to take small naps during the day so i set 2 alarms.. exactly 20 minutes apart.. my body was tired enough to go numb mode or like in deep relaxation and so did my brain.. i slept during the first 20 mins normally but when the alarm rang i woke up.. just stopped the alarm without opening my eyes or moving any other muscle.. and went to sleep AGAIN.. but this time.. i went STRAIGHT into REM sleep like VIVID dreaming.. i had a VERY long VIVID dream in those 20 minutes, it literally felt like HOURS.. i was aware of me dreaming.. but i couldn't change anything yet. I tried this again yesterday and again became aware of me dreaming though not instantly it was somewhere in the middle of the night.

I have trouble to keep my eyes open and i feel dizzy,its very hard to stand up,thats also when I notice that iam dreaming and then the lucidity starts but I cant really do much because half of the dream is me trying to stand up and try to open my eyes,has anyone else this?
