LDD-Lucid Day Dream


Have you ever been so interested in a skill that you find yourself imagining what can be done with it, actually experimenting in your mind? That is how I came upon this ability; Lucid day-dreaming. The concept is this: both the conscious and subconscious imagination can be advanced to the point that sleeping is no longer required to dream, the transition into dreaming becomes so instantaneous that lucidity is automatic. Perhaps most amazingly, with enough practice the conscious imagination can become stable enough to practice without even resting -or closing your eyes for that matter. Imagine being able to project scenes onto a canvas while you paint, or write music without an instrument, even fully experience and interact with a world as you describe it in writing. Eventually the practitioner can virtually interact with their environment by producing holographic inserts in their minds eye.

Of course as with common lucid dreaming, or like any art, it is not always easy starting out, much commitment is required to produce significant results, though the possible rewards are immense and worth the journey.


Some people are naturals of the LDD, though it is usually triggered by an interest in some hobby. Most often people will be thinking about something and their thoughts will interact with their imagination, giving them the ability to actively create and/or interact with their own day dream. This can be used practically to solve puzzles, or recreationally for exploration with the mind’s eye.


The most useful practice to hone this ability is through learning the basic artistic media’s; visual art, music, acting, and writing. The forethought required while doing these disciplines will train your mind to be able to create something before outwardly making it happen. Though almost any hobby, profession or skill is useful here, these arts specifically tune the ability to a very wide range of uses as they exercise the body’s senses to this goal. It is also useful to absorb ambient information to get a feel for something you wish to emulate. Or even invent things that are otherwise impossible or do not exist in this world. Combining multiple approaches adds a lot of versatility and assists greatly in this ability.

When you consciously enter into this mid-point between creation and action, you have achieved the state of LDDing


When your mind has become adept at thinking with virtual reality, you may wish to use it in the way you would a classical LD.

For starting off, the same practices used in meditation can help achieve the high degree of clear thinking required to learn this during the early stages, though as you progress your creations will become more stable in active environments, until you can go about your business while still using this ability at your whim.

Personally I am a natural with this, and have been doing it as long as I can remember, I am starting this thread for people to ask me questions and discuss this topic. Eventually I plan to use what we learn from working on this together to create a more comprehensive tutorial.
