So I have experienced by own fair share of unexplainable phenomena, which is the main reason as to why I joined this sub. However, as of recently, the number of paranormal activity that I have been experiencing as sky-rocketed in these past few weeks. Not only that, the number of similar things I have read on here that other people have experienced is mind-blowing to me.

Everything from weird smells, unexplained noises, invisible spirits or whatever they are running barefoot, you name it. I will preface that most of these experiences tend to happen to me at night, but occasionally they occur during the day.

I consider myself a spiritual person, so I could be more biased to experiencing t

My brother and I often have conversations regarding our dreams. As a result, I occasionally will have dreams where I am having a conversation with my brother about lucid dreaming, and yet somehow in these dreams I never become lucid.

Occasionally, I will also have dreams that I call anti-lucid where I am 100% convinced that the dream I am experiencing is real life.

Sometimes when I become lucid, instead of trying to do cool tricks or control things in my dream, I will try to remember other dreams I had previously while I am lucid. I find that dream recall is a lot easier and effective this way compared to doing it while you're awake because you are the same dream state that you were in when you had the previous dreams.

I'm curious to know what other things you guys do when you lucid dream that might not be common?

I personally do not do any reality checks to lucid dream. I have done them a few times though in a dream and have become lucid though. My main thing with reality checks is a lot of them assume you are in your dream body. I have had many dreams where I have no body, and I am simply observing a scene or scenario and so something like counting my fingers would render ineffective for my lucidity.

I'm curious to know how well they work for you all, and if you guys have other methods that work better to help you guys lucid dream. If reality checks do work for ya'll, which ones are the most effective?

I just found out today that we are currently in one.

As a context, I have memories from my past lives where I and others around me had all sorts of abilities. The most common ones being flight and the ability to change the size of my body at will, sorta like antman. The most interesting part about these abilities is that there were very natural, as if these were just innate abilities everyone had.

Been playing for about a month and honestly this game started getting monotonous. What got me initially hooked was the adventure mode. It was very fun completing that, but after finishing it, the game feels like a repeat of clash of clans and other similar games. Fortunately I never spent a dime on this game so I have nothing to lose by quitting really. I am curious how others feel.

Usually when I try to decrease my masturbation frequency, it never ends up happening. I would masturbate everyday, sometimes up to 4 times in the same day. Now that I’ve stopped viewing porn, my urges have calmed down tremendously, and I have more control over them when they arise.

Also, something I noticed earlier on was that when I was having major urges in the beginning, I would masturbate without porn until the urges went away. Which would sometimes still be up to 3 times a day. Gradually, the urges went down, and so did my masturbation frequency to the point where I only feel the need to masturbate only once a week.

Even though I have gone 53 days pornfree, there’s still apart of me

Although I wasn’t really watching that often even before I have been committed to be being pornfree, there were definitely times in my life where I would easily spend 5-6 hours a session just mindlessly looking for that “perfect” shot.

Instead of using all that time watching porn, you can use it for more beneficial things in life.

I started off doing 16 days of nofap and have been masturbating on and off since without porn. There have been times when porn doesn’t even cross my mind but also when I have to fight incredibly hard to not use it as a coping mechanism.

Anyways to my main point, I’ve realized that as a male that has never had any sexual experiences, all of the thoughts and images that come to my head are scenes that I’ve only seen in porn. In terms of sexual arousal, my mind only knows what it does from porn. And as a result, I find my mind drifting about scenes and scenarios that I’ve have manifested from porn. After thinking this through, It also makes so much sense as to why porn can be so alluring.

Currently 2 weeks into nofap and had some decent urges last night. They started to get very intense and I told myself if it gets bad enough I will just masturbate without porn. So what did I do? I tried to get an erection while thinking of fantasies that weren’t porn and I couldn’t do it. After a few minutes of trying, my urges vanished completely.

I realize now that I was not horny at all in that moment. My mind was really just craving porn. It wanted a quick rush of dopamine. Also, the fact that I can’t get an erection without porn even though it’s been two weeks is a clear sign that I must continue on this journey to be pornfree. Stay strong guys!
