Why do so many want to Lucid Dream?

**eldante** · 10-15-2011 12:03 AM

When I first began to notice I was dreaming while in a dream, I HATED it. I wanted to wake up and couldn't wake up. Pissed me off a lot. What is the desire for this all about?

Why are you on a lucid dreaming website?

**Hukif** · 10-15-2011 12:05 AM

You know, the fact that you can do anything? Study, fight, take stress out, have your wishes come true during the dream, make another life, etc, etc... yeah that must be it.

I'm sure you could find your answer almost anywhere on the forum. Exploration, fun, adrenaline, discovering different aspects of our subconscious... And simply being able to consciously observe and participate in a world created entirely by our minds, that behaves differently and produces unnatural, strange and quirky results.

This isn't something to be hated. you can do anything in a dream. more then you think. This is a gift, something to be excited and happy about possessing, Not hating or ignoring. Your lucky if you can do it without techniques.

I think the real question is, do you still hate it? It sounds like you are able to lucid dream, and you have found this site. So me thinks you've started to learn what you can do. So again, I ask, do you still hate it?

When I first joined the forum I wanted to lucid dream, just so I could do ANYTHING I want, and go into my own little world every night. Then I found I wanted to lucid dream for ALL these reasons.

If an individual experiences a large, frequent amount of lucids, they can become frustrated by them or begin to hate the occurrences. But it's almost impossible to not understand why others do it.

**Hukif** · 10-15-2011 12:14 AM

Of non-controlled lucids you mean? Otherwise I don't see why any normal person would dislike them <.<
I mean, over half the people who come and say they dislike LDing all have a control problem.

**Solarflare** · 10-15-2011 12:50 AM

you can do whatever you want :/

**BobbyLance** · 10-15-2011 12:59 PM

Hi there my friend. The answer's very simple: You can do EVERYTHING you want.

**faceonmars** · 10-15-2011 06:28 PM

Dreaming in a dream... is not lucid dreaming. Being aware and in a dream is a powerful and life-affirming phenomena. I have never had a bad lucid dream.

I think eldante is a troll, by the way.

Wish fulfillment?

If that is what you mean, I do think that is one of the good uses of dreaming (both Lucid and non_Lucid) I think another is fear eradication.

have sex in your dream then come back and say your wrong. (lol JK.)

**Zoth** · 10-15-2011 11:28 PM

Lucid dreaming isn't a specific thing. It's like music. It's like a reading, it's like a movie. There is always something that interests you. It's not a toy box, it's not a toy world, it's a toy dimension

Why do you think people create fantasy and fiction? We want to achieve more, we want to fly without machines, to have super powers, to conquer relations and make our dreams come true. Everything is possible in this dimension so we just enjoying a 2nd life

**Hukif** · 10-16-2011 01:18 AM

After checking your posts, you seem to be a religious person, there are more good sides to LDing as a religious person... enlightment, spiritual exploration, self-exploration, just so many options... but yeah you got the idea.

Hey, thanks, man! Another thing I think dreams help us with is creating challenges for us. I also think life that we think of as non_dream life is also a dream. A Matrix within a Matrix within a Matrix it seems. So interesting.

Who wouldn't like lucid dreaming u have a world of your own!

**carebearboy** · 10-20-2011 01:10 AM

I've found a lot about myself just through my dream journal. The dreams seem to have meanings and tell us things that we may not be aware of while awake. They tell me things in my life that I may have not yet confronted. Deep things.

It's amazing what you can learn!

And being lucid just makes it so much more fun because you can control the outcome and break through fears.

Two nights ago I jumped off the top of an apartment building and flew through the sky. If that's not enough of a reason I don't know what is.

I practice lucid dreaming because it gives me total liberation from the laws of physics and anything related to that. I can fly around, blow stuff up, and just do anything I want to do. One of the most awesome things about it is that I can do it from the comfort of my own bed and it's completely free! It's like having the best video game ever without dealing with annoying little kids and having no lag and no limitations!

I also like it for the whole Inner Self aspect. As you can find things about yourself and communicate with your sub-conscious.

It's just too awesome and too fun to pass up!
