Thread: Should i keep my thoughts and feelings for LD for myself and only talk about on the internet?

There's nothing wrong with briefly mentioning it, as long as you don't keep talking about it even when they show obvious signs of not being interested.

Unfortunately, most people seem to be very unfamiliar with the very idea of exploring different mental states.
When I try to tell people about lucid dreaming their reaction is usually something like "I don't understand...?" and then when I explain it in more detail, with perfect definitions ("a lucid dream is a dream where you understand that you are dreaming" etc) they quickly change the subject.
They seem rather uncomfortable with the idea of becoming lucid in dreams.

I guess the reason for this is because our culture tends to not value dreams very much, and are dismissed as "random images during the night", so the idea of actually being just as alive and aware in a dream as in waking life might sound bizarre.
They might feel like it's similar to seeing vivid hallucinations in waking life, and "getting absorbed into things that are not real".
Anyway, I personally consider dreams just as real as waking life, they are just a different kind of reality - a "mental reality".
I think of dreams that way because our dreams are 100% based on our own inner thoughts, feelings an desires, whereas waking life is based on external objects and physical laws that are independent of ourselves, which is more of a "physical reality".
