Any lucid dreamers here?

If you are a lucid dreamer, be honest: don't you mostly use it for sex?

I always find it amusing that articles on how to become a lucid dreamer always tip-toe around the sex dream issue. It's always "go for a walk on the beach" or "visit Europe." Never does an article say, "do that girl or guy you've got that crush on. . ."

    i am a lucid dreamer and have been every since i can remember. Never read about how to become one, however, i have tried to learn how to stop them as most of them ( besides the sex ones ) are extremely bothersome; even disturbing to me.

    The worst is when I realize I'm dreaming, and then think, "don't think of ZOMBIES. . . oh ****!"

    Or when I realize I'm dreaming and think "Don't think of It or Pennywise the Clown. Oh ****!"

    Those make for very disturbing dreams. And knowing that they're dreams doesn't help at all. I hate the Pennywise dreams. Getting eaten by zombies and not waking up sucks almost as bad, but not quite!

    This is not someone you want to dream about. . .

    i had one lucid dream once. it was very brief, and it was the awesomest dream i ever had. i was flying.

    my mother was a lucid dreamer as a child/teenager: she used to put herself into her own personal episodes of Bonanza! :ohwell:
  • I am a lucid dreamer and have to agree I hate having more the disturbing dreams the ones I hate the most are the ones where you are in car and it goes over a cliff. I can actually feel myself falling... ugh bothers me a lot.

    I like the ones where I feel like I am watching a story take place... I part of it but also I am seeing it... weird

    I usually go with whatever I was dreaming about before I "woke up". I started being serious about lucid dreaming after A Nightmare on Elm Street came out in 1984. No f***ing way was I going to get caught and murdered in my sleep by some psycho child rapist.

    Im a lucid dreamer. Sometimes I think its neat b/c I dont know anyone else who is, but most of the time my dreams are 'bad' dreams and those pretty much suck

    I love to dream and then remember it especially if it was saucy :wink:

    I'm a lucid dreamer, most of the time it's awful, but you're right there are times when I get to live out fantasies I'd never get to do in real life.

    It seems like I can do whatever I want in my dreams except wake up, it drives me crazy. Especially when horrible things keep happening. The worst ones are the dreams that involve my kids, as soon as I think don't let anything horrible happen to them the worst thing imaginable does immediately.

    Hubby and I are both lucid dreamers but mine are more disturbing and I "feel" a lot of them. On the plus side saucy ones are indeed saucy ;)

    I am a lucid dreamer. It usually involves running or flying, and I wake up exhausted.
    The usual way I dream is that it starts off with a certain storyline that I haven't controlled, then I dream about 5 different endings to it, and if one of the kids disturbs me, when I get back in bed, I'm kind of "now, where was I up to?" And start the dream again from that point. A bit like a video tape.
    Its rarely about sex tbh, never thought about that. Must be too tired! :laugh:
  • I have always been a lucid dreamer and up until about 4 years ago I thought everyone was too! I dream this way about everything and always love the more naughty dreams. I've never actually had a lucid dream that was bad, I can't imagine how that would be!

    When I have lucid dreams, they are violent and disturbing, and the majority of the time those dreams are scenarios that could happen in real life, not some strange dream trip stuff. I would get rid of the lucid dreaming in a heartbeat if I could.

    I had to check up on what exactly lucid dreaming was and it turns out it's the only way I've ever dreamed.

    I think I may be strange in that over my lifetime I can only recall one time having a sexual dream.
