Thread: Reach the Pokemon World (sorta) Via Controlling your Dreams!

Yes, this is real. I'm talking about lucid dreaming, a technique that allows you to be consiously aware that you are dreaming while you are asleep, and gives you the ability to control your dreams. However, you percieve whatever you dream up as real. For instance, if you imagined a goat falling from the sky, a goat would fall from the sky right before your eyes. It feels extremely close to real (so I've been told. It's really freaking difficult to accomplish. I said close to real because our minds can't make a flawless world, and things will feel slightly synthetic.) It is a scientifically documented fact, and there is no doubt that it is real. There are tons of people who are experts at it, and anyone can do it (in fact, a good friend of mine achieves lucid dreaming nightly). If you don't believe me, then read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming
Anyway, couldn't this be used to "reach" the Pokemon world in your mind? Like, you could imagine yourself in the world of Pokemon, and you would percieve yourself as being there, with all five senses! You could be a Pokemon trainer and everything, and it would seem real to you! Unfortunately, this is extremely difficult to achieve, and would probably require months of practice just to achieve it. Still, to have the experience of being a Pokemon trainer is worth it, am I right?!

Yes I have herd of this, I have tried to achieve lucid dreaming myself, but it is really hard, there are also mechines that can force a lucid dream.

It is really hard. I laid in bed for twenty minutes without moving a muscle or thinking a single thought, and though I almost made it (I got some of the symptoms of being close) I just couldn't achieve it.

I have just given up on it, I'm just going to buy one of those mechines that forces it when I know how.

Oh yeah, I do this about fifty percent of the time when I dream. I made a Charizard appear once and flew around with him. XD

I had a dream, where i was at an ancient temple (I was 7 years old) and i was given a rare set of pokemon cards that actually come to life when you paly with them.

also, i had a dream i conquered the world with starters from all four regions:P

It is very hard, but i think i've done it before. that thing with the temple, i could like almost see/hear. it's really weird.

Then again, Science Is supposed to study those weird things :)

Did the game involve... *puts on glasses* ...motorcycles?

(YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!)

A thousand pyen to whoever gets the reference.

I dreamt of having a pikachu in my school bag.

I'm totally going to try this tonight

I'm having trouble trying to understand what the OP and the Wiki link are saying...

Can't tell you how many times this has happened.

What part don't you understand? Maybe I can help.


(I forgot to mention in my first post, but this can happen accidentally, too, and happens to lots of people on rare occasions. If you want to learn how to do it intentionally, go to the "Induction Methods" section of the Wikipedia page.)

You, my friend, are freaking lucky! Did you train yourself to lucid dream, or does it just happen by chance for you on certain nights?

I just don't get it. How do we control what we dream about, and be aware that we [i]are]/i] dreaming?

I have trouble trying to do that on my own.

Nope, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds.

Cards that come to life when you play them. Think about it.

But yeah, I guess the *puts on glasses* meme comes from CSI Miami.
