Lately, it's been a hella stressful school year. Lucid dreaming hasvery much helped me destress more than any other activity I pursued. |

I'm not sure if most "normal" people feel this way, but I feel like I've lost time if I don't remember my dreams. Seeing as how most people sleep six to eight hours a night, you're pretty much sleeping a third of your life. At this point in time, I don't know how I'd handle essentially blacking out for hours at a time. I think up until I started utilizing dream recall and lucid dreaming, I wasted so much potential. I work full time as well as attend school and I used to grapple with finding recreation or "relax" time. Dreaming has helped me cope with that. |

Funny you brought this up, I was actually just thinking about this earlier this morning. It's so strange knowing that we spend a third of our lives asleep... and most people do nothing either productive (well, except sleep) nor satisfying during that time, and don't care either. School's on my mind and I started thinking about how I could write that into a persuasive essay; the first line being something like, "Imagine spending a good third of your life doing anything you want without consequence: fighting ninjas, flying into space, wildly speed cars, even climb the Great Wall of China or have a tea party with Abraham Lincoln. Even better, imagine if you could do all of this within the space of your bed." |

Yeah my life was hard for a few months and dreaming has been a great help. Though for some reason, I still can't dream well enough maybe because of daily stress. |

"Burn..." - Specter
I am so grateful that I have discovered lucid dreaming. Even just remembering my normal dreams is such a blast. I had no notion that we dream all night, every night! I had a super wild night last night with so many wacky, wild, bizarre, weird dreams that I could only hold on to a few fragments of them all, but I held the feeling that there was so much more that I wasn't remembering. I'm resovled to continue to work hard on increasing recall to get more of all this fascinating world that we enter every night! |
