Surprizingly, it's never come up in conversation :p

i've told a few. Usually instead of going straight in their i'll ask if they have ever had a dream where they knew they were dreaming at the time, since thats the definition. I wont always go into superpowers and the like. I will with some of my more.... unique friends.

My parents. As soon as I told them about it they thought it was stupid and weird. They know the difference now though

That's exactly what I do! I haven't told many people, and none of them don't like me because of it. I told my friend and she said "you're crazy!" but in a joking way. The only person who's actually not approved of it is my Grandma, but she worries about everything, so that can be expected from her. (No offence towards her, though!)

My brothers A level physcology tteacher didnt know what it was.
When I told her, she told me it was dangerous and a sadistic cult.
A physcology teacher!
hmpf, what we need is a doucmetnary on Channel 4.

Then people might take us seirously, close minded fools

I told my mum, and she thought it was cool - I wouldnt tell my dad though.

I have told a couple of friends, and they thought it was weird. Now I just keep it to myself.

wow, that is amazing that your girlfriend is a natural! you are soooo lucky! I wish I had a girlfriend who likes lucid dreaming, or is a natural at it.

Imagine if you guys could WILD, and tried it together? I cant get over how awesome it would be.

I was lying on my bed with my girlfriend and we started to fall asleep and I had a very vivid dream where I saw her hand and reached out and held it or something. its not so clear now but it was amazing to wake up next to her after that, it made me feel closer to her, it was a powerful dream.

I just recently told my parents about it. I was keeping it to myself for a while, but I decided to tell for some reason and they didn't even care. They thought it was stupid

That's a classic example of close-mindedness. People feel that way just because it's a new concept to them and that they're afraid to get involved with it. It's just one of these things I guess.

yeah...tell me about it.
I told my friend about the whole lucid draming thing and they tought im on drugs!

The less imaginitive the person, or less adventurous, the more they will scoff at LDs. I try not to tell those type people. They think it's stupid, a waste of time, respond with stuff like "When I sleep, I want to SLEEP! Not run around jumping off buildings".

Im kinda banned from talking about it, i wished i kept it to myself now.

aww that's mean you should show her this site and that you aren't crazy and we are dreamers too!

Maybe if I told my friend about lucid dreaming, he would still be alive...

Of course you can never really prove it (unless dream walking is real) as unlike other things (the whole psi crap (which I believe is crap)) it can not be performed in the real world.

umm if they don't believe it they are morons because it is known globally, and can be found using any search engine or sites like these

Lucid Dreaming has been proven! By the use of eye movements. When you look around in your dream, your eyes actually move in the same direction.
Lucid Dreamers in a laboratory, were able to signal the outside world by using a prearranged eye movement pattern. It's in the book Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming!

Yeah my Mom is a dead set baptist and normally I can't talk to her about anything metaphysical at all but in 1997 when my mother was living in G.J., Co. and I was in Farmington, N.M. one evening she was in her sewing room sewing when she heard her husband coming down the hall. She looked towards the doorway to see what he wanted and I stepped down into the room. She was so surprised. She put down her sewing and stood up to come greet me and as she walked towards me I slowly dissapeared from sight. You see, I was drunk on my couch and plumb passed out down in Farmington, N.M. She called me on the phone the next day. Nope....she don't have too much to say against Lucid dreaming. hahahahaha

I told a friend of mine who got really mad everytime I talked about it around her, even though I doubt we'd still be hanging out even if I didn't tell her about it, and I had a feeling acouple other friends were irritated by it too.
