      LD Dictionary {safe, confusing and misused words organized}

      I have seen many topics covering semantic debate, many topics which discussed terms like sleep paralysis and WILD and how people percieve terms differently. Let us start building our own communication protocoll, where everybody would understand what the other meant. Let us find words, where we have problems understanding ourselves, and let us use the words, which come from safe or well understood roots more often. As you will soon find out, safe terms are related to direct experiences and misused or confusing words are just mental constructs, which everybody understands differently.

      Let me start with set of words which everyone understands and uses without confusion:

      SAFE TERMS:
      These are terms which you can use and assume your partner will understand. Some of these terms may be understood only if you have experience related to them. Even without experience, they are well defined and are usually used without confusion.



      POSSIBLY CONFUSING TERMS:
      These are the words you will usually use to describe your dream experiences, but you cannot be sure if the other understands you well. These terms may be too general to be related to direct experience. Still these are words which are generally well understood and used.



      MISUSED TERMS:
      This are the words, which are often misunderstood and used outside context, they originated from. This words have usually more than one meaning or meaning is not always clear. Without further clarification and experience backbone, these words are meaningless or confusing.

      • -ILD (dualism dream type/dream induction)
      • Imagination (process, visual? ..., misunderstood)
      • Sleep paralysis (state/disorder/hag ....)
      • Visualization (process, visual?, all senses ..., misunderstood)


      Please help with building this dictionary and add your own set of lucid dreaming related words organized into categories i created. Discussion open
