Is it possible to control emotions in a LD? If so that would be cool.
For example. Fealing SUPER happy :banana: or SUPER sad :cry:

I think, in real life you can make a sad face or a happy face and you will start feeling sad or happy. I bet you can exploit this mechanism in dreams and take it a few steps further and start going into excegerrated emotional terrotitory quite quickly
Have anybody experemented with this. It would be nice to hear about it!
Hey Lucid, Why are you asking? Besides basic curiosity. I mean.. What makes you interested in this in particulair?
It would be nice to hear if anyone has experimented.. I'm sure people did.. But not sure if they also happen to respond to this particular topic at this particular time.
Anyway, extreme emotions happen on the dream plane. The act of lucid dreaming itself is like the most bizarre way but fundamentally a way of engaging the human soul in a world of one's own making to explore truthfully one's own emotions without restraint. It might be difficult to assume that there is another more straight-forward mechanism to explore emotional feelings. Considering that emotions usually arise out of complex situations. On the other hand, in essence, a particular emotional feel is usually connected to a part of the body and in essence, is really just a physical feeling, nothing else. I think anyone who starts experimenting with that will almost undoubdetly be forced to face subconscious emotions and denials of ones' own self.
For clarification, i've had this happen to me; The physical emotion is simple. Tap into those emotions, and the brain lights up like it is christmas and repressed memories/traumas start flooding in autonomously. Not sure if that is necessarily more than a one time thing though.
In my experience, it was the emotion of guilt. What came in was a lot of fishing for what i am feeling guilty about. Non of them really made much sense, btw, Curiously, the list of things i should have been feeling guilty about flooded in much faster than i could even consciously think them up. But then again, i had a feeling bad spirits where out to harm me and might have actually checked into my mental memory archive/leakage and found things they thought might make me feel guilty. Yes, I am slightly off-beat relative to scientific western standards. If it where anywhere else in the world though and that last sentence would even be considered on-topic.
I've found that most of my dreams have an inherent emotion that is separate from what my conscious mind feels, and I have changed it on occasion and a couple of times in nightmares, used it to feel multiple emotions.
I am asking because. people talk alot about contolling what is outward in the dream, but i havent heard about people talking about controling what is inward. Would it not be cool to do your thing in the dream while being really happy or any other nice fealing? I dont know if what i am saying makes sense. If not let me know.Quote:

No links from me, sorry. I wish i had my hands on more lucid dream theory but I don't :)
It makes sense to me though, being in control of the inner world while exploring the outside is bomb-cool haha.
I am going to do some experiment with this. You should join. If so let me know how it goes. Cant wait to go to sleep :bedtime:
Depends on the intensity, honestly, and the situation.
In my experience, it's not the easiest thing to do.
