Do your family Lucid Dream?

[LucidDreamer09]

When I first discovered the wonders of Lucid Dreaming, my immediate reaction was to tell my parents about it... They thought I was a bit mad... Do you tell your family about Lucid Dreaming? Do they do it themselves, and if so what do they think of it all? Calum

[aimee47]

I tell my mom about my most vivid dreams, and I tell her about my lucid dreams. One time I read my dream journal to her, and she thought it was interesting. So now she's starting her own dream journal. She recalls her dreams very well. My dad only thinks it's interesting. He doesn't actually participate, though. But no, my parents don't think I'm crazy for being interested in the human mind. I actually think I might get into the field of the human mind when I go into college. :]

I talked to my mother about it before. She expressed a bit of interest and said that shes had them before and still does from time to time. Never discussed it too in depth though.

[Mechanized Mind]

Yea for the most part my parents think its kinda crazy and im weird for doing it.

[Bizarre Jester]

my mother was concerned that this was some occult art. After I explained to her what it was she laughed at me. My father mentioned that he had a lucid dream a few times and then tries to get himself to wake up. My sister and cousin are interested in it though.

everybody in my family knows that i lucid dream and they think its really cool. My parents really enjoy hearing about my lucid experiences, and think its amazing that i can do it, i think its cause their a lot more open minded. my dad always tells me to learn how to astral project cause he wants me to spy on barack obama and the new world order to find out what their planning ha! also my little brother has had a couple lucid dreams just from the fact that i talk about it all the time, he doesnt even practice it. i tell him since hes having these sporadic lucid dreams just on his own he should really start practicing it cause i think he could easily master it since hes still young

My sister does sometimes, she's one of those natural LD'ers but she hasn't learned to take control for some reason. My brother doesn't know that I'm doing this and I havn't spoken to him about it and my dad isn't that interested but he thinks I'm kinda weird for trying to do it.

[DeeryTheDeer]

I try to tell my sister and my mom about it, but they don't care much. Whenever I tell my mom all about my progress and weird dream experiences, she doesn't say a damn thing. They must think I'm going off the deep end or something. What is wrong with people that they don't care about dreams?

[Hukif]

Of course they do! My brother is a natural though, but thats another story <.< Already getting mom, sister and niece into it, may as well get nephew and then my other niece into it, yay! Not from my family, but a teacher is into it, and through him, will probably get classmates into it.

[TristanPetroskey]

My family thinks I'm going insane and will hurt myself because of it. But I don't care. I'm still going to do it. You can't hurt yourself.

[JamesLD]

its sad how humans have forgotten their own human nature and their connection to nature. i know people who say they never have dreams even though they do they just dont remember, what a boring sleep time! just dreams by themselves should be fascinating to everyone, i mean every night you enter an alternate dimension where some crazy shit can happen! humans are meant to dream and interact with their dreams, why else would the human body and even animals have the defense mechanism of sleep paralysis so that our dreams dont awaken us, its cause dreams are the secret to life!

[Morrigan]

My father does, and often he talks to me about them. I do not know if my mother did but I am almost certain one of the worst lucid dreams of my life was a shared dream with her (her being lucid as well). Lucid nightmare that was. Morrigan

[Maria92]

My parents seem to really care less...of course, I haven't really talked about it with them. My sister, however, is a bit more interested. She likes to keep up with my lucid adventures, but lacks the motivation to LD herself...

[Saturos]

I have only told my brother and sister, and it is so annoying because my sister thinks it is fake, and my brother thinks its retarded. I do not understand them at all.

[Blazeingcxh]

My dad does it almost whenever he dreams...my mom is the exact opposite.

[Puffin]

I find myself constantly wanting to tell my parents about "my latest lucid dream", but they're like, "I don't want to hear about that". ^^; But they do find it interesting. However, they're not interested enough, it seems.

[Soul]

No they don't but my mum likes to listen but my dad hates it for whatever reason, he hates any talk of dreams

[Sora]

No, I never really talked about it with my family. My parents would probably think I'm weird though but wouldn't care at all. My brother might like it though, but I don't see him often.

[Maria92]

I talk to my sister about it. That's it. She claims she's "too busy" to lucid dream. Slacker. I've got twice as much work as she does, and I'm finding the time...

[thedreamingwolfess]

My brother seems interested but hasn't tried it. Mom thinks it's cool and keeps/kept a dream journal. Nobody else in my family gets it.

[dajo]

I'm sure I've told my parents, but I'm unloading quite a lot of them these days So it might have gotten lost on all the information I've been sharing. But no, I don't think they do..

[TheWeirdnessSymposium]

My wife LDs naturally and enjoys it. I've told her if she made some deliberate effort she could be LDing every night but she's scared if she makes any effort she'll lose the ability.

[TheWeirdnessSymposium]

My parents seem to really care less...of course, I haven't really talked about it with them. My sister, however, is a bit more interested. She likes to keep up with my lucid adventures, but lacks the motivation to LD herself... From what I've read, you don't have to do much to tip the odds in your favour a little; maybe just use an affirmation every night such as, "I'll lucid dream tonight."

[Maria92]

From what I've read, you don't have to do much to tip the odds in your favour a little; maybe just use an affirmation every night such as, "I'll lucid dream tonight." Yeah, that's what I keep telling her, but she just won't listen. Her nightly routine consists of watching TV reruns on her portable DVD player, listening to music, and doing crosswords, and she's more than reluctant to change this. She also claims her memory "isn't good enough" to do RC's during the day. *facepalms*

Everyone ive told about lucid dreaming either thinks it doesnt exist, thinks it does but doesnt understand the point in doing it or they just dont care. I havent actually met anyone who can lucid dream...its hard enough to find people interested in normal dreaming. Ive even had people tell me, "i dont go to sleep to dream, i go to sleep to rest and dont want to waste my time dreaming". A commen trend is ive found when explaing to someone how to LD is as soon as they hear the word 'effort' they kinda switch off and think it's a waste of time. My mum and sister are quite interested, even got my sister to start a dream journal.
