Do you talk to your friends about lucid dreaming?

like, in real life? I don't, they'd probably think I'm weird and I sorta like keeping it to myself because I feel like it is a huge secret nobody knows about me xD and that it's sorta "my thing" out of my friends (except people on here, duh)
even though one of my friends sorta does it, I still act like I don't really "care" about it when I'm around them xD I know it sounds selfish but whatever xD

Well, I have two friends who I told about Lucid dreaming. They said it sounded awesome and I actually taught them how to Lucid dream. I even dream shared with one of them. :-) I think you should tell your friend that you also do Lucid dreaming to. You can share ideas and new techniques. If your really close friends you can even share a few dreams.

I didn't talk about it with anyone before because I thought no one would know about it anyway and just think I'm weird, but then suddenly one day one of my friends came to me and started talking to me about lucid dreaming. I got surprised because I didn't know she was into lucid dreaming at all and I was like "hey, I know about lucid dreaming too!!". So I talk with her about it and lately I've also started talking a little with my family about it.

yeah, if one of my friends did that, I would tell them too.
and I talk to my mom about it

I tell her my techniques and stuff, she thinks it's interesting and when she had her first LD in years, she said it was the coolest thing ever

I sorta taught her how to.
and she was talking to me about it once and it turns out she DEILDs on accident (I told her what DEILD was and she said she's done it, she didn't know the terminology before though) :0 I can't even do that xD

I'm afraid to though since it's like my secret life XD

I've tried to, but more often than not no one is interested, so I don't bother.

Always do, one day they will start practicing <.<

**Solarflare** · 02-01-2011 01:11 AM

i talk to ALL my friends about it. They all think it's SOOOO awesome and they want to do it like me XD

If you feel it's your secret life, I imagine if you did tell them, and they seemed uninterested, you'd feel pretty bad. Not only because your secret was out, but because it turned out no one cared.

Honestly, ....... I don't have any friends.

My boyfriend (who is online, but we've been together 6 years and visit in person every 3 months or so) listens when I talk to him about it, but isn't very interested in it. He has a thing about everything being for a 'purpose', so he finds the idea of a goal of lucid dreaming to be sort of pointless. I want him to have a really vivid and cool LD so that he can see how amazing they can be. The few he's had accidentally have been mundane, like one in which he had worked really hard on something in the dream, then realized he was dreaming, and was pissed off because he had done all that work for nothing. I've tried to explain it, but I don't think he understands how vivid and fun they can be.

As for my family, I mention it to them sometimes, but they don't seem interested, just as they aren't interested in about every topic I try bringing up. I tend to be interested only in specific things that most people aren't like philosophy and fantasy books and scienctific advancements, and uninterested in the broad topics of conversation that everyone is supposed to find interesting like where to find a good hair salon or vacation destinations or how to spend less money, so it's difficult for me to converse with my family without getting bored or boring them.
