My dreams I just remember, but when I lucid dream, I experience it. I'm consciously walking in dream. It feels no different from real life, except it's actually all just in your head. |

I've obviously never had an LD but I've been doing research and working for a while towards attaining one. My question is about the actual experience of the lucid dream. From everything I've read I can't quite grasp it still. Please only reply if you've had an LD. |

As children we believe anything is possible. As adults, we need to remember it.

Heres a good example: Get up, and walk around your house, and sit back down at your computer, and write down what you saw. A lucid is basically the same thing. It's obviously more exciting, than that scenario, but it's happening in real time. The only time a LD becomes a "memory" is if you have terrible recall, and when you're recalling your dreams you happen to remember a piece of it. |

A lucid dream is not very much different from being awake. One actually thinks and determines their own response to the dream scene just like they choose their response to waking stimulie. One other distinction, of course is the rationality of the whole situation as one is not bound by the laws of physics. |

These were all fantastic responses, thank you. They really reaffirm what I had been hoping to hear. It sounds exciting and life altering . |

Addition : While you are LDing also you will say to yourself "wow, i'm gonna tell my friends about this" |

Definitely, it's an experience more than its a memory. It makes sense too, since lucid dreaming means to be consciously present in your dream! |
|
Thank you very much, again! |
