exactly… though… breathing wood and glass?
I’ve breathed paperish water by trying to smoke in dreams (why can’t i ever get high?)
but…
i guess if you had already done a lot of weird things prior to trying to breathe water it’d be easy, but upon attaining lucidity and immediately trying to drown yourself, it’s pretty hard to overcome the basic instinct to hold your breath underwater.
Lol yeah you should try it 
Just stick your head inside a window or a tree and breathe. It’s not particular more difficult than breathing water, but it feels different.
Not necessarily… Ofcourse when have already done some freaky stuff, you have a more flexible mind than when you try the underwater breathing immediately in your first LD. So yes it might help you to overcome that basic instinct. On the other hand, even if you have no real prior experience with LD experiments, and you have reached a pretty high level of lucidity, it still might not pose such a big problem. Because you’re lucid, you should understand the nature of the dream. So you also should understand that nothing really can hurt you. Whether or not you have prior experience doesn’t make such a difference in this case. But that’s only if you’re truly high lucid and fully understand your situation…
i will try and pass out in a ld and see what happens, if i die, well i wont post again lol. wish me luck lol 
what a totaly stuffed up thing forme 2 do but hey
Are we invited to your funeral? 
Good luck!
lol ofcourse, and hey if i do die i will make sure i come into ur dreams from teh otherside and tell you
Oh great! Perhaps you could become our joint spirit guide 
Hehe would be nice though 
omg that would b so cool, and i could speak in ur ear durin da day and totaly trip you out nah i wonder what taht would be like and i wonder if this is one way we become spirt guides. so many questions. lol mystic you inspire the questions from within me thank you
Richard 
Lol hehe if you’d whisper in my ears whole day, I’d go totally schizo. Perhaps this is thé origin of schizofrenia? 
This might indeed be one explanation for spirit guides. But frankly, it seems like spirit guides are a higher level of consciousness, and not a reflection of the spirit of a deceased person… Hm who could tell?
anyone would if i was whsperin in their ear lol, but who know the only way to find out is to try 
also to find out how the SG become them is to ask
might do that sometime
LD ing is perfectly safe. You are in the drivers seat and control how the dream progresses. I have been killed in many ND and even a lucid one, and I’m still here. As for getting stuck, all you have to do is look around the forum to find people complaining that they can’t stay in the LD long enough. The worst thing that can happen is you will wake up.
Yes!
I wouldn’t hold your breath for tyo long if I were you. You could pass out, and possibly die. Cool ehh?!
But with the hold-your-nose RC you breathe right through!
I’ve also been able to set up two breathing patterns, a slow one and an unnaturally fast one… yes I’ve had both of them at the same time, man that was wierd 
Yes but you don’t hold your breath. You attempt to breath.
Also, the dream world is based on your beliefs. If you belief that you can breath while pinching your nose, it will happen.

I am not sure that you could really endanger yourself that way. I would gamble that you would just wake up. I have to look up that study before I can really comment though. I’ll look it up tonight and comment tomorrow.
Yes. Or at the worst, pass out, in which your body would take over control of your breathing. So really all you can do is loose an LD either way.
I’m sure Timeless once said he almost passed out from holding his breath in an LD.
Well I did not have the time to look up that study last night. I spent too much time on the forum.
I might test this at some point though. I have so many things I want to do in my LD’s I don’t know if I ll try tonight or not. But it is now on my list of things to experiment with so I’ll get around to it at some point.
I doubt you could hold your breath in a dream until you died. People instinctively start breathing again when they pass out, provided you even get that far (almost impossible without the use of some device to induce asphyxiation). Granted you’ve technically already passed-out if you’re sleeping, but I still wouldn’t think it possible to hold your breath until you stopped living. We’re designed a little better than that.
I totally agree. I find it very hard to believe that anything you do in a LD could effect your sleeping body to any great degree. If I believed that if you hold your breath in a LD it would also effect your real breathing. I think it would only do so in a slight way. Like my respiration might be slightly decreased if it would be effected at all…
yeah i dont know if you die in a dream… i really dont think that anyone ever dies… but…
yeah i have read like some books well don juan books… and in them there is allot about inorganic beings… and also powerfull beings in these other worlds which do take you into there realm…
scary stuff…
