About Lucid Dreaming

I was about to write a post about lucid dreaming when I came across this blog post, which effectively did it for me. Go figure, right?

Regardless, you should check out that blog because it's pretty good stuff. I'll offer you the graphic included in the link, since it has a ton of useful information.


This pretty much covers it.

As the caption says, that graphic pretty much covers it.

My only contributions are from personal experience. Here are some of my reality checks: 

  • Push two fingers against the palm of the opposite hand - results in reality and dreams tend to differ. 
  • If there are light switches, flick them - generally nothing happens in dreams. 
  • Push against a wall - sometimes, in dreams, your hand will go through. 
  • Try pinching yourself hard - usually it does not hurt in dreams. 

I like the nose/breathing idea, I might also incorporate that. The text and mirror examples are context sensitive, but good, though the mirror test can be frightening at times.

Alright, I have a ton to do in the morning, so thanks for reading and check out that blog!
