Anyway. This topic is solely for lucid dreams and those that have them; feel free to try any of these, and post any results in your dream topic. If you'd like. 'Twould be very helpful.
So. Quoted from Wikipedia article, these are things one can try if one is able to in a lucid dream to... well, to make sure it is, indeed, a dream.
- Reading some text, looking away from the text, and reading it again - the text will probably have changed.
- Looking at one's watch (remembering the time), looking away, and looking back. As with the text, the time will probably have changed at the second glance.
- Flipping a light switch. Light levels rarely change in dreams.
- Looking into a mirror; in dreams, reflections from a mirror often appear to be blurred, distorted or incorrect.
- Plugging one's nose shut, and attempting to breathe through it. It is usually possible to breathe while doing this because the tester is not actually plugging one's nose in real life.
- Looking at one's hands one or more times. Hands may look distorted, or grow additional fingers in a dream.
- Gripping and stretching a finger. In a dream, body image can become distorted, and pulling a finger can elongate it.
- Jumping into the air. Gravity is often distorted in a dream state and floating, flying or "moon jumping" will occur.
- Looking around and seeing everything blurred, such as if you were underwater.
And, if you'd like to try to prolong a lucid dream, these are supposed to help:
- Spinning around in the dream.
- Rubbing your hands together, also while in the dream.
Never tried it myelf, however. I think Nuu tried one once?
As I said, it'd be quite helpful to have some feedback on these methods, if you'd like to try them, or can. ^_^
