Real Scary Stories About 'Lucid Dreams'...

Lucid dreams are where you can control and play in the dream world, but there are a lot of eerily common experiences.

- It usually starts in your bedroom at home.
- If you look into a mirror, you can get a partner in that world.
- You can reroll the partner gacha.
- There's a technique to prevent waking up by eating humans.
- The amount of dream energy humans have varies, so how long you can extend the dream is random.
- When you're not used to it, you should ask your partner how to spawn items or play catch.
- Generally, the more children you have in a lucid dream, the better you can control it, but it often causes some kind of problem in reality.

None of this applies to me though.

This.

>>2
Cute.

>>2
Are you seeing them spontaneously, not intentionally?

>>6
I tried to have a lucid dream intentionally.
As for the content, I aimed for it roughly.

>>12
Next time, try looking in a mirror consciously.

Is there really a dream where you eat humans?

>>3
It's not that you see a dream where you eat humans, but you eat humans in the dream.

Isn't it better to have dreams where you don't know what's going to happen rather than ones you can control?

This was popular on VIP a long time ago.

I'm a lucid dreamer.

It was really popular on VIP a long time ago, the out-of-body experience thing.

If you have any questions, ask away.
I've played around 30 times.

>>11
The rolling method is the most stable, but is there any other good method?

>>13
What's that? What I do is spend a lot of time, take about four naps, make my sleep really light, and then become aware of the dream.

>>17
It's a method where you forcibly turn over when sleep paralysis hits and project your body into the hallucination world.
If you see your body's shell in the hallucination world, you've succeeded.

>>26
I didn't know that.
I've experienced sleep paralysis, but when it happens, my consciousness is floating, and my body is asleep, so I feel like I'm one step away from a lucid dream, then I take another nap and enter the lucid dream.

>>31
I see. I was following the out-of-body experience guide on VIP, but it seems like a different thing.

>>34
I've never had an out-of-body experience, but it's probably misunderstood because of lucid dreams.
The first lucid dream I saw also started from my bed, and I realized it was a dream because the ceiling light was a chandelier I saw in a drama.
Then, when I thought I wanted to see the chandelier, my body floated.
This floating feeling is probably what's being mistaken for an out-of-body experience.

>>13
Waiting for the sleep paralysis to subside before rolling makes it easier to enter a lucid dream without strain. When I learned this method, it was a revelation.
If you forcibly roll during sleep paralysis, your vision might not work for a while, but with this method, you can easily detach and see clearly.

>>96
I see, I didn't know I had to wait. Thanks.
Now that you mention it, when I did it forcibly, my limbs were transparent for a while, and it was troublesome.

I realize it's a dream and try to assault a woman, but my body stops working properly halfway, and I wake up.

Keeping a dream diary is better.
It can easily break your brain.

By the way, I've never succeeded.
Every time it starts from my bed, but when I try to move, something sticky comes out of my back, and I get pulled back to the bed and wake up.

By the way, I start thinking about what I want to do after entering the lucid dream, not before going to sleep.

I can control it to some extent but can't choose the content.
Yesterday, it was a manga-like world in Tezuka Osamu's style, and Rock appeared, using a mysterious battery-powered weapon on an adventure.

There are times when I realize "Oh, this is a dream" in the dream, but it usually stops there.

What happens if you try to do something beyond your ability in a lucid dream?
For example, I can't do two-digit multiplication, but what if I summon a calculator and do the calculation?

>>29
Wouldn't it proceed as if it were correct, even if it's wrong?
In my dreams, I can jump around freely.

>>29
In dreams, you probably feel like you can do it.
You can't really get the correct answer and remember it when you wake up.

>>36
I had the impression that in lucid dreams, you're fully aware while dreaming, but it's vague, huh.

My junior says he realizes it's a dream but can't control it at all.
He thinks, "This is a dream," but the story progresses on its own.

>>30
That's normal.

I don't want to float, but my body floats on its own.

I realize I was dreaming after I wake up.
Oh, I had that kind of dream.

>>33
That's how dreams are, right?
Only the bad aftertaste of the ending remains.
Gradually, you remember, "Oh, there was that too, and that too."
What a weird dream.
Then you forget it in about 10 minutes.

I've had times where I woke up in the middle of a lucid dream and it was sleep paralysis. I couldn't move, only blink and move my tongue.

I kept a dream diary a lot, but I couldn't have a lucid dream at all, so I quit.

I see them often, but none of this applies to me.

>>39
Well, it's just something you can do if you try.
Of course, if you don't try, it won't apply.
Why don't you try it once?

In the end, it's just a dream.
It's not that realistic.

>>41
It's realistic. You can feel the texture and the floating sensation even though you've never flown.

>>41
It has a reality that makes you genuinely confused with real life.
The wind on your cheeks, the scenery, everything feels so real that I hesitate to jump out of the window every time.

I sometimes realize it's a dream and play around, but is this what they call a lucid dream?

By the way, there's even a glossary.
Looking at it like this, it seems like a low-budget free simulator game.

Partner: A fixed companion in the dream world.
Tutorial: The time until you find the partner.
ZQN: An act of extending the dream by eating humans.
Freshness: The realism in the dream.
NPC: Residents of the dream.
Mannequinization: The phenomenon where a person you try to act on or summon becomes an immobile doll.

>>49
I kept getting mannequinization.
It caused my insomnia, so I quit.

>>49
>ZQN: An act of extending the dream by eating humans.

I used to think the author of "I Am a Hero" might have seen that thread.

Even if I dream, I usually barely remember it, and I've never realized it's a dream. I'm a bit envious.

>>51
There are people like you too, huh.

The moment I realize it's a dream, something terrifying or a monster appears, and I wake up in shock.

There was a time when I kept a dream diary, but I started having more scary dreams, so I stopped.
Also, I rarely dream now, but back then, I dreamed every day. What was that about?

>>54
I also kept a dream diary for lucid dreams.
But I couldn't remember much of the dream's content, so it was always really short.

If you keep using your phone in the dark until around 3 AM when you're at your limit of sleepiness, you can often see them.

You can do it normally when you're really tired.

I've had many lucid dreams, but none of this applies to me.
Are you making this up to make it sound scary?

Lucid dreams and tulpas really hit the chuunibyou crowd.
