11111111111111111111 146 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 (edited) Ok, so I want to start out by saying this is not a lucid dreaming thread, so If you are looking how to precisely control your dreams than this is not the thread for you. What I wan to know is how to make yourself dream about a certain subject, MLP for example. I don't want to control the dreams, I just want to know some... tips and tricks on how to influence your brain to dream about something specific, I don't even know if this is possible but that's why I am asking. Like is there something I can do before I go to bed to make myself dream about MLP. I have watched the show three times now and constantly eat and breath my little pony. And usually I watch the show and really "pony out" right before bed. The weird part is that I have never, once, ever, had one single dream about My little pony, and I would like to. So if you have any suggestions on how I could go about dreaming about MLP I would appreciate it. Thanks.

(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I dream about a bunch of things. When it comes to pony dreams, I usually dream about my adventures as my OC. Him and his reluctance to care about school, to dealing with that Pegasus he likes so much. It's a reflection of my life, TBH. Second in Command of the Marvel Alliance!!!

Invincible 2,091 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I also kinda wish i had pony related dreams. I think the only pony related dream i had (that i can recall) was one where i saw a tall unfamiliar pony which was shrouded in darkness looking straight at me...it wasn't creepy or anything, but i could make out what they looked like, which annoyed me.

The Dark Lord 332 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I have pony related dreams sometimes, not a lot though. And for some reason, someone always dies in my dreams. I'm starting to thing George R.R Martin is scripting them. 3 My OCs - Dead Eye, White Shade, Last Shadow, Zen Credit for my Signature goes to DJ Aeron Q.

Snow Frostflame 3,568 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 the best way to dream about something is if it is stuck in your mind the moment you lose conciseness I have only had one pony related dream I can recall it was a nightmare I wish not to discuss with anypony other then that I have been having a lot of dreams about school recently I find it annoying because I don't need to be stressed about school over the break 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiteporte 591 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 Well, the most efficient way to dream about something specific is to trigger a lucid dream. You don't have to control it. What you can do is create the dream world (Equestria in your case) and then, just watch as a spectator and let the dream unfold by itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineappleKAKE 14 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I've had a couple of random dreams that involved ponies. Most of which I've accepted perfectly without question rather than becoming lucid. Darn it dreamself me. >.> The last one involved demon kidnappers and Rarity with a buster sword. I have an extraordinary amount of death in my dreams too. ...Except I'm normally the one who dies... >.> Normally by being run over... ...I have very weird dreams Skype me: PineappleKAKE If I'm online, I'm up for a chat! ^^ I'm also much more active on skype than ANYWHERE else.

Alleviate 342 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I rarely dream. I don't know why. I have, however, had a few dreams involving ponies. They were weird though. Really weird. I had to break Berry Punch/Fluttershy's forelegs to get them out of some sort of stocks. And that was only the bit I can remember vaguely. It got weirder. Very interested in this, I may do some research into possible techniques to induce certain subjects in dreaming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiteporte 591 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I rarely dream. I don't know why You dream every night. The only problem is that you do not remember them. There are techniques you can use to remember your dreams. I mean, there is no point in inducing a pony dream if you're just going to forget about it the next morning, right ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alia 158 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 Sometimes, before going to sleep, I listen “Lullaby for a princess.” I think about Luna, trying to feel deeply the tragedy of that situation, and often listen it with tears in my eyes. After it I often see Luna in my dreams. Even though I’m not fan of Luna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've gotten out of it recently. Plus, the dream journal was pretty fun, since it helped with my writing, as well as weird pseudo-psychoanalysis Skype me: PineappleKAKE If I'm online, I'm up for a chat! ^^ I'm also much more active on skype than ANYWHERE else.

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I've had a handful of dreams where Dashie made a cameo, but it was never exactly what I was hoping for. The best one was where Dashie just kinda walked up and asked me to go to Equestria to judge a race or something lol. And it was a race between a very-much-flying Scoots and Gilda. xD I'm afraid I don't know HOW to make yourself dream about a specific thing. My dreams have always been of the completely random, WTF-inducing variety lol. Given how much time I spend watching Dashie on TV, looking at Dashie on my comp screen, and holding her plushie / Funko figurine, you'd THINK I'd get Dashie dreams more often. I even say "goodnight" to Dashie and think how I'd like to dream of her. Doesn't. Work. Why? Cruel, confused sub-conscious that's obsessed with post-apocalyptic scenarios, DBZ-like energy battles, and sometimes zombies. WHY!!???! 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination.

boiteporte 591 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 (edited) ok then my next question would be how to trigger a lucid dream about ponies. Do you have any suggestions? Well, the first thing is to be able to remember your dream. Next : To trigger a lucid dream, there are several methods you could use. I personally use the MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams). First, you need to realise that you're dreaming. It comes in 3 steps. STEP 1 : REALITY CHECKS A reality check is a test you do which helps you to determine whether you're dreaming or not. You should ask yourself the following question several times throughout the day "Am I Dreaming" ?. Then, you need to perform a reality test. The key is that the result of the test will be different in real life and in the dream. It may sound stupid to do it in real life, but the more you do it in real life, the higher the probability that your dream character will perform that test and trigger the lucid dream. There are several reality tests to choose from. I personally count the number of fingers on my hands. 5 in real life, and impossible to count in a dream. More info here : http://lucid.wikia.com/wiki/Reality_check STEP 2 : LUCID AFFIRMATIONS Now, when you go to bed, you need to get your dream character to perform a reality check and realize that you're dreaming. The key to do this is to program your brain to realize that it's dreaming. Just keep repeating in your head "Tonight, I'm going to remember that I'm dreaming". Repeat it over and over and over until it's stuck in your head. The last thing you think about before you fall asleep should be your desire to realize that you're dreaming. Stay focused on this thought.. STEP 3 : VISUALIZE YOUR DREAM. Once you are deeply relaxed, try to recall a previous dream but this time, try to relive it as if you were lucid (Interact with your dream characters and seek out any dream signs. A dream sign is an unusual thing that makes you realize that you're dreaming. For example, a flying pig can be considered a dream sign) During this process, you might fall asleep. And that is perfectly fine. Later on that night, during your next REM stage, you have a much higher chance of becoming lucid. When you're lucid, you can re-create Equestria and the ponies and even interact with them. However, please bear in mind that the more changes you do to your dream, the less stable it is (You might find that it starts to fade away). It takes a lot of practice to learn how to stabilize a lucid dream. This method was devised by Pr. Stephen LaBerge from the University of Stanford and has been scientifically proven effective.

GONEFOREVER 518 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 It just may be that you don't remember the dreams. Try switching up your sleeping schedule. Wake up and go to sleep at different times. Most people only remember their dreams when they wake up in the middle of them. Also, don't forget to use a dream journal. GONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
