Lucid Dreaming? Vegas?

Question

Last night was like no other night. I have never been able to control a dream untill last night. I will try tonight but im still not sure why i didn't wake up this time.

Usually when i realize im in a dream i wake up instantly, but this was different. Im only 15 years old but in my dream i was in vegas having a great time. drinking, s*x, everything. I was with my friends and my mom was there to. I can recall asking her when we left and how we got there because i did not know how i had arrived in Vegas! Crazy huh. Well then i also told my friends i had to be dreaming because i did not remember getting on a plane or anything, just showing up in Vegas. How can i do this again?

Answer 1

Okay. Words can never stay the same when you're dreaming. You could read a sign that said pigs and turn back, then it says paws. Then you realize you're dreaming. Don't tell yourself to wake up or you will. Only wake up when you want.

Answer 2

You usually have to see something in the dream that would lead you to remember that it is actually a dream. You can will yourself to remember, if you remember to remember, if you know what I mean.

If you hit realization all of a sudden, it's very likely that you'll wake up. If you root yourself in the moment, which gets easier with practice, you can force yourself to stay in the dream and have fun.

I have these dreams several times a month, and I have to say, it's great. Doing anything you want, as long as you have the willpower. It's like the Matrix: you have to know it's a dream, and that you can do anything, before you actually can.

Hope that helped =)
