      Has dreaming had a significant impact on your social, economic or artistic endeavors?

      Not significant, but I have written some short stories based on dreams, just for personal enjoyment.
      I don't usually think, therefore I mostly am not.

      Likewise, you cant teach some one who looks for facts to have faith in the absence of facts.

      Yes, I would go as far to say that dreaming defines my social, economic and artistic endeavors. But, then again, considering lucidity as a factor, my endeavors may just be premeditated?

      I haven't used it much as the things you described. I am pretty much just having fun with it right now but I would like to further explore my dreams and talk to my sub-concious and such. But the effect it has really had on me is it just makes me feel amazing. I go to bed each night with a purpose, I feel amazing that I am practicing something that SO many people don't do! It makes me feel so amazing and euphoric when I awake from one in the morning. It just gives me such a good feeling and really brightens up my day.

      Might've not been the answer you were looking for but I hope it was good enough XD. Have fun lucid dreamin!


      Pm me about any lucid dreaming related questions you have!

      Good question! Not in a very strong sense, but it does make me appreciate what I have.
      If someone dies in my dreams, I realise how much they mean to me, and that I should cherish them.

      Since I've started dreaming again, my endeavours have changed greatly.

      My plans for my future have changed - I do not wish in the slightest to be stuck in a job in which I am not going to enjoy. I want my work to suit my life, not my life to revolve around my work.

      My emotional state and stability has changed for the better - I don't suffer from any anxiety, I'm very rarely sad and I feel as though I live in a stable, persistant happiness and comfort with myself and my environment.

      This is like me. Nothing has been too significant yet, but I have changed several things (Artistically) based on my dreams.

      Definitely, yes. I use my dreams to solve design problems at work all the time. I also have piles of dream journals and sketchbooks that I go through regularly for ideas.

      I think dreaming has played a huge part in how I view the world. I am very low stress. I don't take life too seriously, knowing I have have the ability to do whatever the hell I want every night in my dreams. Human relationships have become the most important focus of my life, since they are the one thing that dreams can not provide.

      Social? Yes. Because, in a dream if something happens between me and someone I know and I wish it would have really happened then it inspires me to make it really happen.

      It's been more like the other way around for me. The more I write about my dreams, the more details I remember later... I want to reach the stage where I recall them so well I can draw them, but that seems like it would need some effort on bettering my art technique, as well... I'm working on it though!

      I'm a fantasy writer and dreams have most definitely gave me artistic inspiration. Even more so my lucid dreams.
      Dreams that last for a few seconds
      house more wisdom
      Then those that last forever.
      It is always our nightmares
      that are the most vivid.
      But if the vividness was taken away
      would they really be so scary?

      I am a writer, both novel and film screenplays. Dreaming has become an extremely influential part of the story process. I have been inducing dreams and "discovering" aspects of my story's universe through dreams for the last few years.

      When I first began being lucid is when I started to delve into the problem solving side of dreaming. I read an article on Thomas Jefferson, it said that when he was working on a new invention, he would sit in his favorite rocking chair with a steel ball bearing in each hand. He would close his eyes and meditate on the problem that he needed to over come. As he would fall asleep the bearings would fall and the noise made would jot him to wake. This was his most important technique for problem solving creatively.

      This inspired me greatly. I have been using the Hypnogogia technique with great results, as well as lucidity. Crazy dreams may give me elements to fill the background, or inspire the universal laws of my stories. I find that non lucid dreams are the best for creative environments for stories to take place.

      In my opinion, my abilities as a writer are directly proportionate to my abilities as a dreamer.

      That and experimentation with psychedellics.
