If you don't know what lucid dreaming is, you can check my introductionary post about it.

Alright, let's jump right in:

One night I suddenly woke up at 4AM. Having experienced most of my lucid dreams in the small hours after waking up, I knew I had a good chance to experience one again. In fact I thought to myself: "Let's have a freaking lucid dream tonight."

Most of the REM(rapid eye movement)-sleep and dreams occur during small hours so naturally it's more likely to have a lucid dream also.

So I went to lie down own my bed and I tried if you could have a wake induced lucid dream (WILD), drifting into a lucid dream from awake. I remained conscious and focused on the hypnagogic fractals in the middle state of sleep and awake but I couldn't get asleep while remaining conscious. I haven't had success with WILD specifically, and didn't this time either. But I got a successful dream induced lucid dream!

I'll tell you everything from the beginning. TL;DR in the end for the lazy readers.

Nevermind, I'll just give you the tl;dr:
_{Too lazy to tell it all}

I had a lucid dream where I had telekinetic abilities, threw stuff around, duplicated items and probably killed someone by grabbing her head. I also lifted a school building while being inside standing with a power stance and flew it towards Mars (according to the news) like a superman.

How to gain superpowers in lucid dreams?

By superpowers I mean stuff you can do in dreams that are impossible in physical reality: fly, create objects and manipulate the environment only using your mind.

Step 1:

Learn to lucid dream.

Step 2:

You need to understand that DREAMS DON'T HAVE PHYSICS.

"But why do my dreams still act out as in the physical world then?"

It's simply because you project your beliefs about the nature of the world - the only world you know of which is the physical one where we are bound to the laws of physics - into the the dreams.

When you are aware of the fact that physics are not the limits of the dream reality, but your own beliefs, you can reshape it at will. It's a lot of like how Neo learns to "bend" the reality in the Matrix.

It's about developing a mindset with always questioning what you perceive, even though you "know" how the world behaves. Never take the world for granted, and you're more likely to be able to do wacky things in dreams once you suddenly realize you are in a one.

Don't actually have more than that. It's quite simple, in theory. But in practice it won't go like chopping wood and it'll require a lot of practice and persistence.

Truth be told: I actually haven't had another lucid dream since this one, which was months ago already. I guess it has to do with the fact that I'm on my service and don't make much time around mornings because I pretty much get up, brush my teeth and hop on a train.

Even worse, I rarely memorize my dreams at all because of my tight morning. And the dreams tend to fade away during the first minutes awake so they don't last.

So, my "dream life" is very compromised right now which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully that'll change when my service ends and I don't have to be a slave for the clock. Have to build the habit again and start writing dream diary when the time comes.

Would be cool to get those abilities back because real life's just boring unlike dreams which at least have something fun to do.
