The 5 Senses

For me vision is the greatest and the only one i have experienced. I could see every single detail in my hand like i was looking through a magnifying glass. For the other 4, i had no sensation at all. That is why i posted the topic, to see if other senses were up and running for other LD’ers.

I have all of the normal senses… The quality of the senses varies from dream to dream though. They are all usually very realistic in high level lucid dreams.

I also can use telepathic like communication during LD’s

Sometimes i think i dream without colour o.O

But i’ve proved to myself i do (i can remember part of the dream with a red rose)

I can’t taste anything in dreams.

When i become lucid, the first sense I notice is sight. Sometimes I have to “drag” the other senses into the dream by forcing myself to feel, smell, etc. The only sense that is better in dreams than IRL, is hearing. :cool:

Is Breathing under water a sense?

Well, I can’t speak for a Lucid dream at the moment. Apart from those I had years ago.

But in one of my dreams last night I had all those senses, but it wasn’t lucid :sad: Still I great dream though!

In the dream I am talking about I was in my bathroom, which was slightly different. I was with 2 beautiful women, who seemed to think a was some kind of play-boy or rich person. As in the dream I had a condo as a second house :smile:

Anyway, when I was in the bathroom, there was a blonde in the bathtub and she was gently splashing the water so it hit the sides.

So that’s hearing accounted for.

After I has talked for abit me and a very pretty brunette walked out into the landing (we were both still wet) I was stood up against the wall and she was very close to me, so close that I could feel her breath. Which felt warm and alluring. A few seconds later we were kissing, her mouth was small (if you know what I mean by that) and her tounge felt and tasted very nice.

(It reminded me of a girlfriend I used to have when I woke up)

After a few seconds of kissing I gently lowered my right hand and placed it on her left leg, lifting up the towel as I raised my hand. I could feel the texture of the towel as it lifted, now my hand was on her left buttock. The detail was amasing, I could feel that her skin was slightly cold from the water still present on her skin. Also she had slight goose-pimples on her bum, either from being cold, aroused, or both :cool_laugh:

That is all I can remember from that dream, but i’m sure there was more to it.

Ohh also, I could smell her hair faintly before I kissed her. If you’ve ever smelt wet hair before it was pretty similar to that, except better.

Conclusion I got from this dream, I miss the time when I didn’t have to go clubbing to find girls. Where I live Clubbing/pub-crawling almost always involves fighting, and I hate fighting.

konnart: No, it’s not really a sense… but the feeling of the breathing, the pressure on your body from the water above - that’s sensing. :smile:

This reminds me of a weird lucid dream I had before joining this site.

I was climbing a mountain. (I do that a lot in dreams) On the top of the mountain, there was a glacier. I could sit down in the snow and ice, and feel the cold. There was nothing of the physical discomfort that usually comes with being cold. It was just extremely cold, pure and simple. It wasnt pain or fear of hypothermia that made me go down again. It was just boredom. :cool:

The point is, it is possible to experience physical feelings in dreams which is impossible IRL! If I were to lie down in the snow IRL, it would have been painful after a while…

In a recent LD, I flied up in space, saw the Earth, then swooped down through the atmosphere like an asteroid. They were flames around me, but it was just a little hot. If I have done it IRL, it would have been painful after a while… :tongue:

Basilus, this must have been intense. What did the earth look like from up above? Could you see other planets or stars? Have you been able to do it since?

ive also seen the earth from above…i flew to the moon a couple times,

I once also saw the earth in the sky, like it was another planet, , i thought to myself that I must have just died, and Im in heaven looking at earth…
until I realised I was dreaming and it turned into an LD:)

Sorry to disappoint you, ZionI, but it wasn’t such intense that I would have expected. I was in a rather low lucidity level, and it was blurry. :sad:

“What did the earth look like from above ?” Hmmm… round ? :tongue: :peek:

I hope I will have a similar experience with a better lucidity level. But as I told you, I don’t always remember to increase the lucidity, or even to prolonge my dreams… :shy:

Stranger, I would have thought that I died also. What a rush! Did it seem like an OBE? Basilus, too bad the lucidity wasn’t higher. Something to think about for next time, eh? Is it true that if you tell yourself “increase lucidity” or “increase clarity” in a LD, that in fact it will? :eh: Also, how do you prolong your LD? Can you prolong NDs.

Sorry for the double reply

Hi ZionI

yeh it did kind of seem like an OBE although im not sure it was… dont know for sure really.

it was a big rush though yeh… i started to cry in that dream coz i really tought i was dead (physically), until i realised i was dreaming

I have never tried to say “Increase Lucidity!” in my LD’s, but from what I heard, it really works!

I hope I’ll remember your advice ! :grin:

It works for a lot of people. Too bad I never tried. :sad:

I try to stare at my hands from times to times in LD. Staring at something makes the dream more solid.

Without being lucid ? It seems to be hard… But I know it’s possible to go back in a dream again when you wake from it.

I notice colours and imagery a lot but I think touch is my strongest sense especially when I’m trying to put my hands through walls/mirrors :mirror: I’ve only tasted once and never smell anything, have to try next time. I dont remember many sounds either which is odd because music and sound is a big interest for me.

I wonder how does someone discover new senses?

Thanls Basilus for addressing ALL of my questions :smile:

I notice that sight is by far the most intense sense for me. And in Waking life my eye sight is perfect ( 20/30, or is it 30/20 ). so maybe there is a direct correlation for everybody.
