Almost Lucid Dreaming

[Remiel]

So I've had lucid dreams before like 5+ years ago. What I'm having recently is vivid dreams that I'm almost lucid. What I find interesting is the fact that over the last year I've learned how to teleport short distances and breathe underwater. Both of which I've done without actually becoming conscious. Heck I remember one dream where I was on land and I purposely put my head underwater to practice dreaming. But at no point did I actually realize I was dreaming. The teleporting came about because I realized I was in my underwear and had to get past a group of people lol. I just popped on over to where my clothes were.

Is there a way to move from having vivid dreams to waking up in them?

wow that sounds strange am new to this sight and am open minded in stuff like this

I also have similar experiences. In my dreams, I often have powers like telekinesis (move the objects without touching them) and also flying. It is usually like energy that comes out of my hands and move these objects. When flying, I am also using the same energy to carry myself.

When I am dreaming, even though I am not lucid, these powers seem natural to me. I even happen to time travel when something bad happens.

Maybe this has something to do with daydreaming, because during a daydream I have control over what happens in my dream. And it seems that I am using the same technique as in daydreaming in my true dreams to control them.

You can search for this answer in the forums, there are many topics about them. There is also this website which explains some techniques: World of Lucid Dreaming - How to Have Lucid Dreams

Hmmm.... I also have a very active imagination / daydreams so maybe that is part of it. Interesting.

Thanks for the link as well.

I have vivid dreams like this, but I never seem to acknowledge that I am dreaming. I don't know if it is because I am unaware or because it is unimportant... Usually, I can take multiple perspectives in my dreams too. Sometimes I am observing myself, and then I might pop in and take part in the action. It's weird. I always wake up right at the finish of these dreams too which is nice because it allows me to write everything down.

I often have dreams where some one is teaching me how do do something like teleporting. Sometimes I will even be with a group of others learning a skill. I have had several lessons on teleporting. The actual lesson is very, very vivid. It is so real that I can give every detail, smell, and color. Then, I spend the rest of my dream "practicing" what they taught me and that part is more dreamlike and foggy. There is a clear distinction between the lesson and the rest of the dream.

I find these dreams to be mentally exhausting though. I asked for a break from them for awhile, and it was actually given to me for about a month. I said I was ready for them again, and I started having them again right away. That blew me away.

I hear a lot of people make a point of asking themselves "Am I dreaming?" on a regular basis so that they begin to ask themselves that in their dreams. Maybe you could give that a try to help you "wake up" in your dreams

Hmmm interesting. I'll have to give that a shot. Thank you!
