Do you lucid dream?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a theory that aspies/autistics lucid dream. This could be because we like to have control of everything, or that we are always alert, even in our sleep.

What do you think?

I have very strong vivid dreams, I can even map them and walk around them while awake. The strangest thing for me is that they seem more real in a way. I get to live more in my dreams by doing all kinds of things that I seem to be unable to do in real life.

Other things that happen are I can get a female in my dream and cant stop thinking about them all through the following day.

So I do have really strong dreams and I prefer them apart from the occasional nightmare.

sorry I didn't look into the meaning of lucid, I get lucid dreams now and again but mostly vivid dreams. Usually within nightmares I realise that I dreaming and tend to push myself to wake and occasionally I will think I have woken but am still in the dream. I don't think people with autism all want control over everything we just more aware of everything.

I have had almost lucid dreams....where I think I am awake but I am not.
I am prone to alot of very strange dreams that are not lucid.

I dream a lot, and I often have either very vivid 'waking dreams' or lucid dreams. There've been times where my alarm has gone off, I've woken up, stretched a bit, lay back down, rolled over after a minute, got up, got dressed, then my brother's come in my room and started hassling me so I've started screaming at him to f-off....


...and then REALLY woken up to my alarm, with my poor brother down the hall going "What'd I do?! Leave me alone! I didn't do anything! Stop yelling at me!"

What's lucid dreaming?

I lucid dream to a ridiculous extent, about eighty percent of the time. Which can be kind of annoying, because if something really great is happening in the dream, it sucks when I know it's not real, and it'll be over as soon as I wake up. But yeah I lucid dream.

I used to until a bout of sleep paralysis, and antidepressants two years ago. I kind of miss it.

as a rule I try to stay ignorant of dreams. I love dreams, its like watching TV in your sleep. I hate waking up before I get to see the ending, which is often. But as a rule I know its a dream, and can control it when I want. Its why I cant say I've really had a nightmare. Because I always wake up through force of will and never from fear. I cannot take total control though. Whenever I attempt it my brain is forced into a waking state.

Once I did psycho-analasis and tried to figure out why humans spend more money when its cash, then with something like a credit card. I wish I could do that more often, would save me alot of time when it comes to my pet projects.

i lucid dream very often.

is it normal to not just know that you are dreaming but also have control of your body in reality too? as in often i am dreaming, decide that in reality it's getting quite late or that i'm bored of my drema and force myself to wake?

when i dream i always know it's not reality (however i don't think i've ever attepted to steer the dream), and whilst i can see and feel my dream at the same time i can feel my bed around me, can move my arms slightly, and can force my eyes open to end the dream

Yes, I LOVE to lucid dream. The first ones I had were as a child and I did't know what I was doing at the time. But I learned quickly as it was a way to have some control of my nightmares. Now it's just another reality for me and one I enjoy immensly. When Queensrych came out w/ "Silent Lucidity" I of course loved it! BEAUTIFUL song.

nope. i do get sleep paralaysis though

That's all i do is lucid dream.

I lucid dreamed once as a kid... After that... I could never even remember dreams for over 10 years...

Nowadays, I can remember that I've had a dream after the fact, but the details are always random (no plot structure to the dreams whatsoever, whereas previous dreams involved stuff like my dad being abducted by aliens)

i dream lucidly often
