Lucidartist Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Its taken sometime but I've expanded my regular lucid dreaming website to include a Dojo where martial artists can train in lucid dream time. Fo those not aware of lucid dreaming its where your sleeping mind becomes awake in your dream but your body remains paraylised. Your mind recreates the reality of the dream you were having and then you can run round and interact with that dream as if it were a copy of reality. http://mysite.freeserve.com/LucidDojo/Luciddojo.htm this is the homepage of the dojo that you can force your mind to conjure up in order to practice in and fight opponents. I beleive martial artists are going to be really good at lucid dreaming due to many factors. Does anyone else here lucid dream anyway? BTW the dojo is based on my real life dojo, pictures of which can be seen on the links page.
Chi-Sai Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Yes, I'm a lucid dreamer. The weird thing is that I can put myself right back into a lucid dream state. This doesn't happen all the time though. Sometimes I can achieve this through meditation. I'm sure there are a lot of people on this board who think that I'm weird! LOL! If I don't focus properly it puts me into a sleep paralysis state where I can't breath and takes me a couple of seconds to get out of it. I'm sure weird, hey? Neat site LucidArtist!

Neat site LucidArtist!Your meditation is leading to whats called a W.I.L.D (Wake Initiated Lucid Dream) Chi Sai, its not that easy for most people to achieve. Basically it is the holy grail of most lucid dreamers, as it means you can just sit down relax your mind in a certain way, and enter a lucid dream. You shouldn't worry about your breathing Chi, your body will take care of that it only seems like your not breathing. I'm normally blind for a few seconds after I WILD.
Lee Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Hmm...speaking of dreams.... With the upcoming Matrix Reloaded movie coming out, isn't Neo a lucid dreamer since he can manipulate what happens while he is in the Matrix? "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. Put water into a tea pot, it becomes the tea pot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend."- Bruce Lee

The scene where he fights Lawrence fishburn in the dojo is very similar to what you can expect in a lucid fight. You really are just fighting against your own minds barriers.
Stold Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Reminds of of an encounter I had with a drug called Salvia. It's completely legal in the US and purchasable online. It's only illegal in australia. Basically, you smoke a bowl full and it flips the dream switch on--WHILE YOU'RE STILL AWAKE. This can be very, very scary. Anyways, on to the point. I think it was my 3rd time doing it and my friends were playing DBZ: Budokai in the background. I think you know where this is going. I was flying, shooting ki, and trading punches with vegeta for about 5 minutes until the stuff wore off. Definately the coolest experience I ever had with the stuff--It's normally very scary.
FlailingLimbs Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Lucid dreams...I haven't had one in a long time, not since I was prepubescent. The most recent one happened in my grade 12 english class while we were reading "Othello". I entered a sleep , then a dream, which finally became "half" lucid. I knew I was dreaming, and I knew I wanted to get some sparring in. I did a backfist with my right hand in the dream, and in the class I accidently hurled my book clear across the room. I woke up only after my teacher screamed out something about Iago, and noticed my book sailing in the air as it almost pegged a girl sitting in the line of fire. Anyways, thats my experience with dreams and martial arts Reminds of of an encounter I had with a drug called Salvia. It's completely legal in the US and purchasable online. It's only illegal in australia. Basically, you smoke a bowl full and it flips the dream switch on--WHILE YOU'RE STILL AWAKE. This can be very, very scary. Anyways, on to the point.

Damn man, that must've been some good shi- ===================When cornered, kick 'em in the spetznats. If that doesn't work, run around acting like an epilept + flail your arms about while whizzin' in your pants, then fall down foaming at the mouth. They'll be so disgusted THEY will walk away from the fight....
Stold Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 You've done that too, Flailing? I can't say I have ever backfisted a book across the room, but I have kicked the desk in front of me over. Must be something with muscle memory. And no, the shi- sucks! That was the only time it was ever good.
