I'm lazy too and I'm gonna give it a go ;)
:welcome: to DreamViews, orkan! I don't think lucid dreaming will change your basic nature of lazy vs. not lazy. It does take a little amibition to keep a dream journal and do reality checks, etc.
Good luck!
I'm the queen of lazy and I still manage to get stuff done.
I'm pretty sure this won't take over your life as most of the stuff is done at night. The only real effort comes from writing stuff in your dream journal. Everything else is reality checks and mental intentions and remembering dreams.
IF anything lucid dreaming gives one a deeper appreciation of waking life because we start really seeing and questioning things around us.
I think it's worth a go.
The experiences you can have from practicing and learning lucid dreaming transcend a lot of what people expect out of them. A lot of people ask me why i don't spend my life sleeping and taking naps if i am able to lucid dream, and i tell them because having those lucid dream experiences reawakened me to the richness and amazingness of simply being alive, with my friends and family that i love.
I think if lucid dreaming has any effect on your laziness it will help eliminate it. Because lucid dreaming is a hard thing to learn, you will probably feel very empowered after having a variety of lucid dreams. From my own lucid dreams i learned that anything really is truly possible and that I (or anyone else for that matter) can accomplish anything they dream...not just within a dream but also in waking life. While its hard to absorb such an idea simply from reading a forum message, your own lucid dreams i think will really strengthen your desire to wake up and be active and alive, to always be doing things and resist being lazy and/or bored :) It really does depend on your idea of success in life, but if you think feeling happy about your life and knowing youre in control of who you are is success, or at least a part of it, than lucid dreaming is worth a go ^^
I was lazy before I started lucid dreaming, I'm just as lazy now
Welcome to the forum :)
Why would you think that? What is the reasoning behind this?
I wrote a dream journal for the first time this morning. I am off of work today but not the rest of the week. I just learned I have to get up 20 minutes EARLIER if I want to have enough time to write my dreams down. I love my sleep too...guess I will be being less lazy if I want to keep a dream journal.
You may end up having a dream which changes your perspective on life.
