I need an experienced person to answer this.
Is there danger in telling yourself that you are awake when you know your lucid, for the purpose of staying lucid and not getting too excited?
Like imagian a normal day in life only you control the outcomes. I have always wanted to dream an exact day. Like a really bad day but make it good. Like do somthing you always wanted to change but in order to do that i think i would need to have it real as possible.
Yea I know what you mean. For starters though you'd have to be able to have really good dream control. Because if you catch a bus to school or drive to work in the morning, your mind has to create those objects and it would be hard for you to copy the roads etc. exactly, not to mention get all the people you want to have in your dreams. But its definetly not dangerous.
im curious. what is this day u are wanting to change and why?
i personally wouldnt worry about not knowing if your life was a dream or not. you could always do a reality check i guess. there is a lucid dreaming CD done by this EMIT company that does happen to have a warning track in it, saying something about how it is possible that someone could think real life was a dream and run out in front of traffic. they said no ones ever heard of this happening though. i wouldnt worry about it
well i would say that there is no danger in saying that because dreams are dreams and nothing can kill you or injure your waking/physical body. although i feel pain even in lucid dreams, thats not a problem because it isnt real, even though it may seem really vivid and real.
Unless you can sleepwalk... :lol:Quote:

Other than that, I don't see any danger in a typical LD, unless you are reading a book & someone goes over & cuts off your sash (again, that is unlikely to happen!).
You guys will soon learn that I reccomend lots of books.
A great read that I know everyone here would benefit from Helen Keller's book, "The World I live in" (yes, she wrote books in her lifetime.) This book as been out of print for almost 100 years, but if anyone can get their hands on one, it is a good rare find. In her book, she explains that before she knew human language and understood communication, she never knew the difference between her periods of being awake and dreaming. She also claims that in her dreams, people would speak to her in languages she never heard and did not know, though she heard and understood the languages as if they were natural to her.
The book as been called a profoundly suggestive exercise in self-invention, and a true, rediscovered classic of American literature.
The newest edition of The World I Live In includes her essay "Optimism," as well as her first published work, "My Story," that she wrote at age 12.

Hmm, I don't quite understand what you are saying but I will answer it to the best of my ability. When you lucid dream, you are holding on to your ability to reason barely (unless you are a lucid master) So the only reason there would be a danger, is that you would lose control of your dream, you would slip back into the 'story' and it would most likely 'de-rail'...(And by 'de-rail' I mean that the dream would not be lucid anymore, and you would wake up the nexst morning thinking about how you lost the chance to have a lucid dream)
Where is the common sense in this thread?
Well the real question was based more on health. Is it alright to try and relive a day cause it was bad? I do not mean like erase it fromy uor memory but like just play around with things and see what could have happend.Quote:

When I am lucid i have a lot of control more then i thought i would when i first started. So it isn't a question of its possibility more of a question of is it right.
From most reasponces I have come to the conclusion that there is not danger...unless I try reading a book and I get cut over and over( :lol: just joking). So I will try to re-write an entire day and post my results. Thank you for all the support.

re safe! In fact, there are rumors that you can actually use LDing to heal yourself, but I think those are just rumors!
I'd say that that is more than healthy. I think it's a very important issue when it comes to lucid dreaming.
Many LDers do it solely as a hobby but when dreaming becomes a tool that serves a purpose, LDs become much more important. Using it to boost mental health is a wonderful and versatile tool.
I've used LD's to help me in things pertaining to real life situations, praciticing speeches, for example, or presentations before the fact. Recently, I've been using LDs to help me find inspiration for a tattoo.
It may be a little bit of a challenge to get exactly what you want, but as long as your dream life doesn't interfere negatively with your real life, go for it.
Your dream life is your real life. The only difference between a dreaming state and a conscious state is a mere frame of perception. You have your eyes open.Quote:

i'd say the difference between dreaming and not dreaming is a lot more than just preception between the two states....
Dreaming is nothing more than a shift in brainwave patterns.
I can attain a dreaming state without my head hitting a pillow.
