First Lucid Dream Experience-Any Advice?

I haven't learned how to have lucid dreams but I have very clear dreams I remember quite well. Last night I had one of those dreams where you connect with all kinds of people you've known. It's like being in the higher dimensions and you can immediately connect with anyone you want by thought and interact with them.

But, yes, it seemed more like I connected with them all at the same time but can only remember broken bits of each. It seems like you have many parallel experiences in the same amount of time. Dreams are very busy.

I don't think you understand. I think it means most don't develop all the centers of their brain that far. For instance, the social center can be fully developed in some, and hardly at all in others. I don't know if 100% is even possible, or it would probably take a whole lifetime, but you can develop your brain to be much more active than average.'

For instance, I'm good with words/linguistic skills, that center of my brain had always been strong and I've also made a lot of effort to develop it. While I didn't really have a natural ability for maths, so that never really interested me, and that part of my brain has been developed very little in comparison.

In the average person, their brain centers as a whole are probably either poorly developed, medium developed, or developed beyond average. But if someone are willing to work for it they could do a lot better.
 
On the other hand, I've gone through the kind of brain development where I'm now able to manipulate people very well (I just found it necessary after going through so much stress).

But I doubt there are many who live to develop all their brain centers to maximum potential. I don't even know if this is possible while living a normal human life. But all the un-used brain potential is definitely interesting and much more than a myth.

The thing is that one brain function needs constant stimulation to be sustained at it's abtained function. If you let go for just a short amount of time it will start to decline, and there's not really the time to keep all our brain functions stimulated. You can focus on different ones through different phases but not all at once.
 
Yes, commonplace so you'll do it in your dream..

So indeed, it's true, they have an app for everything..

And yes, I haven't been writing them down...but have gotten into running the tape again directly after waking up...that helps.

And yes, I can see why it would wake you...I think I was too blown away from the constant experience to react to any excitement..haha

The reason for the reality check is so that, once it becomes instinctual (set a lil alarm for every hour to do it), you will do the reality check in your dream.. The reason for the hand is hands are always fucked up looking in dreams.. if you look at your hand in your dream during the reality check you will know you are dreaming.

You can get an app on a smartphone which will set off a chime every so often (you set the time) and give you a little "reality check" notification.. If you let that chime go off through the night and you hear it while dreaming it should hopefully cause you to do a reality check in your dream.

Another good thing to do is write down as much as you can remember of your dreams as soon as you wake up.

Once lucid try not to get too excited as that will cause you to wake up.. I've noticed as well if i start paying too much attention to detail the details fade away until there's nothing left then oops.. I'm awake.

It is best to detach from labels, when lucid dreaming.
If you believe there are definitely beings there, they will be there.
But, that doesn't mean they're actually there... ;)

Yes, I have read this thought as well from experienced projectors...as well as some that experienced them that had had no belief in them...They were not 'spirits', but inhabitants. There are some that never experience them at all, although they don't discount them as well...

Not sure what you mean by the first part.

I mean that reality check might spoil the fantasy that sometimes you need when you´re dreaming.
It turns to reality much sooner..nothing bad, just my opinion and thoughts of reliefs often brought to us by dreams ..
Maybe my lack of sleep is making me wonder too much about dreams and remind me of how much I need them right now..

Percent is the wrong term.

In relation to this and Ninae's comments, I think the term would be a more global activation of the brain...fMRI's of kids with autism/asperger's/add/executive function disorder show that in some places areas are not 'lighting up' and thus is a cause of these abnormalities.

So it stands to reason, with the recent advent of the concept of neuro-plasticity of the brain..that areas can be activated that previously have not been..ESP, clairaudience, ability to project..etc through developing certain energies...

I believe it's an interesting idea and something I've been looking into for a while-thus the orgasm story I posted earlier...haha..I was lighting it up ..heh

I would definitely want to agree with that!
 
Percent is OK as a term, it's the rest of the idea that misses the mark. The suggestion was we use only (maybe) 10% of our potential and the problem comes because the psych fields see us as just body and brain so 'potential' became 'brain.'

Obviously we do use most or even all our brains - there are some amazing things going on in there as it runs our bodies and provides an altered mind field for us to experience. I don't see any particular issue with learning to use all our potential, but we may need to open up some more of our senses to conscious awareness - even the Floodlight Awareness is virtually atrophied in most people. We live in Spotlight Awareness and maybe the reason people have so many issues with life and others is because we are trained from a very early age to ignore and devalue all the other information that comes in.

Spotlight awareness wouldn't even make up 10% of our input so there is a LOT of data we have to process later on when the focus shuts off.
 
Since maximum potential cannot be quantified, percent is an inappropriate term.
In other words: 10% is relative to 100%, so - unless you know what 100% is - 10% is relative to nothing, and is therefore meaningless.

Obviously we do use most or even all our brains

I've dealt with people recovering from acquired brain injuries and strokes.
They spend years, sometimes decades, struggling to rewire their remaining synapses.
From my observations, I don't think they could do much more.

There is an upper limit on potential intelligence / skill.
You can learn to play the piano brilliantly, but that doesn't mean that you're utilizing a large section of your brain that others aren't.
Those who are naturally gifted in music are, most likely, born with particularly developed sections of the brain pertaining to mathematics.
Those who aren't naturally gifted are still using that section of their brain, it just has a reduced potential.

It's quite clear to me, that different sections of the brain can be used for a wide variety of different tasks. Although (traditionally) we talk about the left and right hemisphere and the various lobes, I've seen people recover particular skills that have been compromised by severe localized brain damage. It is quite possible to teach yourself to speak with a different part of the brain than the speech / language centers.

...

One could argue that people could wire their brains more efficiently and approach their maximum intellectual potential...
But that is quite a different statement.

Did you misread my statement? I said DO use, not DON'T use. Brains are a physical iorgan and except for damaged ones, I have never seen any MRI or other scan that suggests there are unused sections - depending on what is going on all parts will light up and clearly get used.

If you didn't misread it, perhaps you can point to some links showing how people don't use large sections of their brains? :D

There are people around who cope quite normally with half or a quarter or even less of a physical brain - there's a woman in the UK who got through school with something like 3/4 of her brain not actually physically in her head. But those are not normal brains and if anything, point towards our potential being less dependent on brain and more dependent on the field we call mind.
 
On the gifted or otherwise, I'm not sure 'born with particularly developed sections' can be applied. Becoming a virtuoso in music involves mostly learning the instrument so well the physical performance is no longer a thinking process. Then the flow of creativity comes through as the artist lets the music flow. There may be different levels of creativity for different people but it's a moot point (unless things have changed in the medical field in the past decade or so) whether these people have advanced abilities from birth or simply developed ones from practice.

There are some people who can, the first time they come in contact with an instrument, play it straight off. My mother's friend sat and played a song she heard on the radio the first time she saw a piano. But she never really practiced and I wouldn't ever have called her brilliant. Phillipousis (the poo, we call him) had massive talent as a tennis player and Pat Rafter was the same age - Pat was always dedicated to his craft and achieved his goal of winning the US Open.

The poo could beat Pat most of the time but like a Prima Donna he never really applied himself in practice. His greatest achievement turned out to be on the US Bachelor - never won a major in spite of native 'talent' because he didn'[t practice.
 
Back to so many generations why have we alway learnt that we only use a percentage of our brain?
why would doctors and films create such " myth ". In our dreams we are capable to carry gBytes enough to live an entire life in just a couple of minutes,
Although I don't have any studies with me, I can totally understand why we are not there yet,
just as an example, some genius or people who develop more can communicate with you without talking..
That, IMO, would be us humans using more percentage of a brain. And. This is just an example, it was obvious to many of us how genius people have been studied and somehow it was determined their brain activity is different from all of the other students,
I don't believe society and medicine would create a fuss for centuries if there were none of that true

Yes, my bad. I misread it.

That is what I meant by naturally gifted.
(Perhaps I should have been more clear.)
