I was the furry.
My younger brother once dreamed of how to beat the Commander Keen 2 game; he told me and it worked. It had something to do with, the Vorticons don't jump when the lights are off and therefore are easy to kill. It was very strange....Interesting factoid: when you're asleep, the brain is basically filing all the stuff you've been up to, which is what causes dreams. It's why when you have a difficult problem people say "sleep on it" - with any luck your brain will have sorted all the relevant stuff out and you'll have your solution.
Lol, last night I dreamt that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was announced for the 360/PS3...
Not what I meant but still cool.I do, with knuckles. x.x
(also lol who takes 9 minutes on that level?)
Anyone here woke up during sleep paralysis? Fukken scary shit, especially when your mind's still dreaming.
what were you?School. Most of the time it'd be during 4th period, but it happened during 1st period once.
also: Yes, I've had Night-Para quite frequently... I have had a couple instances where I couldn't breathe, and I blacked out from panic
Anyone here woke up during sleep paralysis? It's rather frightening since you can't move and can be made worse when your mind's still dreaming.
Me and Werey were dueling on GH. And we made it possible to put a race option in the game for 2-players. I end up winning with 0:27, and Werey ended up with 0:29. (Ahh too bad Werey)
1. Partake in a live action TA Duel in Green Hill 1. (yes I know donna did this alone already, but eh)
2. Alert other TSCers that this is all a dream and that they can all do whatever they want.
3. Shoot Dhaos. Suck blood from the wound to gain awesome TAing skills.
4. Swap hands with Sondow.
5. See what kind of furry PPA is. Optionally, get injected with the furry virus.
6. See if mike is as tall as they say. 8'? 10'? 20'? Taller?
7. Join SkyLights in prayer and receive a blessing from Tikal. Is it a blessing of bliss? Enlightenment? Some special power? Orange soda?
8. Obtain a Banhammer, hold it to the sky, and shout "I HAVE THE POWER!".
9. Get bit by Werey and become a were-something.
10. After doing 9, follow this up by inflicting this fate on the rest of TSC.
11. ...you know what, at this point you should have your own damned ideas.
This happens to some people naturally, e.g. Werey PM'd me saying that he's almost always known he was dreaming but had no control. Other people have to work at it, e.g. donna and I.
Other people claim that lucidity can lead to spiritual enlightenment, although that's not my belief and your mileage may vary with that reasoning.
A more discreet way to do this if you're around people is to see if you can bite your tongue (be careful! :P).
Waking up after five or so hours of sleep, then going back to sleep with the intention of recognizing the next thing you see as a dream is a popular way. A very difficult yet rewarding way is to wake up after five or so hours, then lay still in bed as the body goes to sleep (see Chao_Fan's post on sleep paralysis sans the creepiness) and repeatedly think about lucidity, keeping your thoughts active as the rest of the mind and the body go to sleep. Keeping just this one part of the brain on takes a lot of practice, because thinking too hard'll keep you awake, and too little will see you fall unconscious. I haven't gotten this one to work for me yet, but since you go in conscious, this also gives you the most time in the dream to exert your will.
A person's short-term memory lasts about 20 seconds. Set your alarm ten minutes earlier than usual so that you can spend a short while dwelling on what you just dreamt, or even write it down if you want to keep a log. If you notice you're having recurring things in your dreams, consider doing the breathing test any time you see that thing in reality or in a dream.
Keep your cool, don't get too excited lest you wake up. Go in with a plan as to what you might do -- not that there's anything wrong with taking in the scenery, mind you :P. If things start to fade, common practice is to rub your hands together or to spin around -- studies have shown that stimulating dream "senses" like sight and touch helps to keep you anchored in a dream longer than just walking where you want to go and having the only sensory change being the small change in appearance of things due to perspective as you get closer or farther away.
Oftentimes it's tough to just "will" something to happen. If that fails, know (not expect, KNOW) that what you want is just around the corner, or on the other side of a door, or maybe you've had it in your pocket the whole time. Personally, I've walked out of doors into more suitable landscapes for what I want to do many times. Trying to be a "god" and making your will be done doesn't always work. I operate on the opposite principle: dream characters know more than I do and that if I struggle doing something, I can always ask them how. One crazy personal example: an old task posted on a lucidity forum involved, among other things, growing. I struggled trying to will it to happen, but the dream was on my college campus, so I asked a dream character for help. I was given the absurd solution to grab my hair and yank it straight up to stretch (width and depth be damned!). Months later, I remembered that silly dream and tried that for shits and giggles, and it still works. :P

Another thing I've heard that works is reading.
I saw wat kind of furry PPA is I saw him go on Fur Affinity on a laptop. (Btw, I see him on FA a few times for real)I DON'T HAVE A FURAFFINITY ACCOUNT WHAT THE HECK
Hitler was PPA.Just because I can imitate him quite well in real life does not mean I am him!
That same night I also dreamed of a Super Mario Brothers level editor.
If I dream, because I cannot create, I can only re-create, the book idea will not work. If I was to generate a book, it'd be something rendered from my memory, not created out of what I'd want it to say.
Let's say I wanted to read, say, The Three Musketeers. I know the book, and it would be consistently inconsistent from the actual book. I would read the text the way that my brain read the book. I could look away, look back, and it'll be the same, because of the way I view books.
However, this is a case-based reason.
Conversely, if I was to attempt to summon a book that did not exist, I would only summon a blank book with said title... again, I'd be able to look away, look back, and the title would be the same. This is because of the way in which I view books: Absolute, and concrete. It's be totally empty, until I started writing it. I suppose I could write a book in my dream and re-call it later, because of the way my mind works...
Then,Eggman Came up and Said "You suck Bitch!" the rest was pretty much censored.
I mauled him.The maul was so violent,It had to be censored.If I dream, because I cannot create, I can only re-create, the book idea will not work. If I was to generate a book, it'd be something rendered from my memory, not created out of what I'd want it to say.

Perhaps this is an artifact of my literary orientation or my spending hours on message boards and in chatrooms and IMs, but my mind can create the gist of non-existent text the same it creates the gist of non-existent speech. I almost never have fake books in my sleep and most of the sources I've seen don't refer to books for that purpose. What they do refer to are signs or notes. Hypothetically, according to these sources, if you looked at a fairly involved text sign (something a bit more complex than "STOP"), looked away, and read it again, the text would have changed. I have not been able to verify this but I doubt it would apply to me due to the unique way I seem to process written text.Then,Eggman Came up and Said "You suck Bitch!" the rest was pretty much censored.
I don't follow, do you mean because of profanity? Or uh, is this what it sounds like? O.o
Going to attempt to lucid up a dream diary this evening, to test my hypothesis tomorrow night... I wonder if it'll work?
Anyway I'm going to try an experiment where I listen to a certain song, over and over, throughout the night and see if it influences my dream(s), assuming I can remember it/them.
The experimental song shall be: "The capital city of flowers in the sky," the stage 3 theme of Touhou 7. I dunno why. I just chose that. Blame my Touhou obsession.
The only dreams I ever have are of real life with one very unusual difference. Said difference varies per dream, but it's usually something very hard to notice out of place. Like, my bedroom is backwards, or I see someone in class who isn't in that class. And I tend not to remember them much anyways.
^ I was about to say to keep a scratchpad near your bed and just roll over to write down a few key words, but I realized the obvious problem with that. :(
Of course, you know if it's a problem better than I do.
Somehow I ended up doing some competition that somehow involved being on a very large tower with platforms sticking out of each side like steps. It looked like something you could make with Lego bricks. I remember smashing the platform in front of me, which got progressively more difficult, then a fadeout and fadein later I was on the next platform, which somehow was rebuilt. This process repeated until I reached the top (the last platform reminds me of a Thwomp) and as I was announced the winner, the tower toppled forward with me on it. I viewed that part from a weird third-person perspective. A fadeout-fadein later I was still in third person, looking at myself buried under some of the platforms (I guess they fell apart when they collapsed) with paramedics trying to get them off. I heard someone say something similar to "he's the important one, there were only a couple other people hurt but they'll be fine." Then the rubble was cleared, the paramedics gone, and I was back in first person looking at the relatively small trophy that I had won. I was presented with another trophy for some reason, and there was some guy next to me that had apparently been there the whole time. I don't remember the dialog, but we noticed that there was some sort of hatch on the larger trophy that, when opened, revealed a (blank) stopwatch within. By which I mean it was part of the trophy. Who knows how it was expected to be used.
Aand that's all memory serves. That was surprisingly detailed for taking up what I can only assume is five minutes, disregarding the timelapses.
I have a feeling the music didn't influence it at all.
Has anybody ever woken up and they couldn't move their jaw?
Eventually, it all ended with a MAD of Yu-Gi-Oh!, involving some anime girl playing against Yami Yugi.
It's funny because it's true. :(

Niconico: now haunting your dreams *ieat shot
Earlier this week I dreamed that I was being accused of BSing in Sonic Chaos. Which I haven't played in my life.... and also don't compete in.Strong Bad competes in games he never played confirmed.
