Thread: Why do you lucid dream?

Before I discovered lucid dreaming, I felt like I was stuck in a world and a time I didn't want to be in. I've always been a lover of adventure and fantasy stories, and felt trapped in this world. I figured that I would just have to stick with books, movies, and my imagination. My mindset was set to "What's the fucking point. Get up, school, come home, speak to people, homework, eat, sleep."

When I found out about lucid dreaming... I felt free. Doors had been unlocked... Knowing that if you work hard enough, you can go to a place regularly where you can be just you and do whatever you want is beyond amazing. Books, movies and places aren't just material things anymore. I can take ideas from them for things to experience. I find it unbelievable that you can fly around at night, climb mountains, go on holiday, visit space and then get up and go to school or work in the morning.

It also makes the bad things... not so bad. It doesn't make me strive to succeed any less, but I know that if i fail at something, it really isn't so bad. I have something to look forward to. Whatever situation I'm stuck in, I have something to look forward to, especially now that my lucids are becoming a little more regular.

It's also very inspiring. I still can't believe I've found out about this and what it means I can do. Sometimes I think I've dreamed it all

why rape? D: thats horrible.

Because it's cool! When you lucid dream, you have control over everything! It's so much more than you have in the real world. It also makes use of your sleeping hours. Plus, you can have adventures, and do stuff that you have never done before.

Because I have been interested in the human mind and specially the sub-concious for a long time and I have found dreaming fascinating ever since I was a kid. Also, when I first read about lucid dreaming on a forum it was described as "a way to live in and control your dreams" and I knew I would not gonna be able to resist trying it haha. I also like to have something to do outside of all the studying that includes setting goals up and then trying to reach them. Lucid dreaming is something that gives me something else to think of than my normal stressfull school days and I go to bed with a good feeling every night. And of course, because it is just supercool and fun

there are two many good things about lucid dreaming to ignore, it also taught me self-discipline in life which i really never had before. oh and I really wanna go back in time (been to rome )
I think to little people know about lucid dreaming and so many people neglect dreaming in the wolrd that it astounds me!
Meh ill stop the rabble, but seriously there are no bad things about lucid dreaming, there are only good. So I think thats why Im sticking to it.

It also a challenge, and challenges are rewarding

No really, everything in your post applies directly to me.

Haha thats cool

I think if a person never has a LD in their life and never try to... They are missing out on a profound and perception changing event. I had my first LD last night and I'm in awe. I closed my eyes in our world and woke up in one of my own creating... And it was as vivid as my waking life. It's a challenging thing to wrap your mind around and that's what makes me so excited about it.

the only time i truly feel free is when i am awake in my dreams

Thank you very much .

Why spend so much time just resting, when you can fly through the Grand Canyon at the same time? A world with no consequences, where you are basically God, and you can do whatever you want without taking up any time? Seems like a no-brainer.

I identify with this whole thing so much. I'm a dreamer too and I've always hidden myself away in books and movies and fantasies and roleplaying and... Now with LDing I have the capability of having an experience as real as anything else in the world. It's so invigorating. I woke up super early for school this morning, in a rush and feeling awful. I was bitter cold and had a ton of homework due...and then I remembered my first lucid dream. It changed everything. Everything is wonderful and possible you just need the right way to look at it. I can do things I only dreamed of before and that makes my real waking life better as well. I'm happier and more optimistic and just.. It's an elixir.
