How hard is it to lucid dream for aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

Im wondering if lucid dreaming is something that would be difficult for an aspie vs a NT? Why or Why not?

do you rarely have lucid dreams? I seem to have them alot

though even more so now that I am taking omega 3-6-9

(Pretty much every night)

from reading up on the history/biography of various spiritually evolved individuals, [such as robert monroe, sylvia browne, et al] a requirement to be a lucid dreamer seems to be a high degree of spiritual evolvement, i.e., many incarnations. it looks to be that newbie spirits need not apply, at least until they have many lifetimes under their belt, in which they have learnt to master mind over matter.

Lucid dreaming is something I wish I could achieve more often. It happens to me rarely, but maintaining a lucid dream and controlling them are things that I struggle with. I do a "nose check" every time I remember. So far, it's the most effective way to realize I'm dreaming when I plug my nose and still inhale in a dream. I wish I was lucky enough to have them regularly.

I remember my dreams frequently and have had a lucid dream on occasion, but doubt it involves anything supernatural.

It depends on how imaginative they are, I would say, which seems to go either way with AS. I have a very difficult time lucid dreaming. Well, I've never tried to but when it happens on its own I can't do anything.

I try to fly but I can't get off the ground. All of them are plunged in darkness outside in which case I'm too terrified to explore and since I can't fly or conjure something up to get me away they're mostly useless to have.

More often I get false-awakenings in which case I ALWAYS upon getting out of bed fall really fast back down, waking me up.

I can basically do it at will without having to really do any prep or anything. I can go into it and out of it no problem, and i do it at least 3-4x a week.

but yeah, its nice being able to control all the variables in a dream, really helps me with my ideas for stories OR for entertaining myself. The weird thing though is that I am about as un-spiritual as you can get, and I dont use mind altering anything to get into a lucid state.

Alot of night I lucid dream since I was young, Recently I have even been able to create a dream like this in my mind and it alot of times the REM sleep engage faster.

I also read somewere that Video Gamers also have lucid dreams easier.

With me I have AS, and Game, and Creates maps for games maybe that is why am able to lucid dream and create dream like scenes that engages REM faster. Also with my Dreams I dream in Color and alot of times it will add in senses like Sound , touch, and emotions"rarely".

I think it all depends. Some people are naturals and some have to work to achieve lucidity. Some get it quickly and some have to wait a long time before getting their first.

Like for me I have to work a little (I've been getting lazy with that) and get a lucid dream every few weeks. That hasn't been happening lately though because I don't feel like writing down my dreams and doing reality checks.

Some my dreams repeat, so if I dream about the same again, I know that I dream.
I don't want to have LDs. I like to make my brain off and get some power for the next day. When I know that I dream, I'm not relaxed when I wake up.

I've only had lucid dreaming once, when I was 7 or 8. Never since (at least not in the dreams I remember, which are numerous).
