Dreaming is an alternative reality... expecially lucid dreaming...

That's why we call it PRESENT.

I have since i have been a lucid dreamer since i was little.
Sometimes when i lay down i can focus on my dream that i had the night before and i can continue it.

Its harder to do now though, it was easier when i was younger.


Same here. ^^

Yeah'p. It would work. First, you'd have to induce a fail-proof Dream Check, or WILD technique.

Problem with WILD's: Cycle.

Your dreams start out as a cycle of 5 minute's dreaming, 30 minutes or so of not dreaming. I forget the other parts of the cycle. But, you'd just experience sleep paralysis for 30 minutes (Mine are different, I can let a Dream happen again in shorter time, but it still only lasts 5 minutes.) further into the night, your dreaming session becomes longer, as does your state of Sleep Paralysis. For me, once I get into the 4th or 5th cycle keeping that Lucid State becomes difficult. I usually lose Lucidity from the 5th cycle of experiencing sleep paralysis, when it shifts into the dream.

You'll know if you've WILD'd when you're in sleep paralysis (Don't test it too much, you'll defeat it.) you will feel a vibrating sensation, and feel as though your head is in a vice. An inverted vice, like your mind is trying to explode from your body. It's only discomforting at first because your first reaction is to reject that sensation. Then there's a POP! A lot of WILDs start out in the place you fell asleep, it's hard to discern whether or not you're asleep. Just trust that you are, and use a spin technique as the doorway to your alternate world. (For me it was only the first time, though LD's after that haven't been as clear. And I wouldn't count any of my other WILD's as truely being wild, but becoming Lucid through a dream check, like remembering I fell asleep.)

It would take a lot of practice.

I don't know anyone, or have never heard of anyone honestly having mastered Lucid Dreaming.

You can still do it.

Lucid dreaming is strenuous on your mind. You can be just as tired in Real life from this, as though you never slept. Not your body, but your mind.

Your subconscious controls your Characters, and you can consciously "allow" them to do what they want. Your subconscious is pretty powerful and, with exercise, it will be able to handle more information and cause it to act, "Automatically".

Interesting.

I don't think I would be able to do it.  I've looked into things for how to lucid dream, but I have never done it.

I need to ask my boyfriend about this, because he would experience ALOT of sleep paralysis before, I wonder if lucid dreaming was involved.  For me, I've only experienced sleep paralysis twice, and it's freaky -___-'.  Lol, but my boyfriend said it happened to him so much, that after a while, he didn't fight it, and it would go away or be kind of nice and stuff.

Hmm... yeah, I haven't met anyone that could lucid dream all the time.  They can once they are dreaming, or once they realize it's a dream, but they don't have 100% control.
