Thread: Calling all Pros!

Well, I believe that in dreams..there's still this kinda Order around.
You can't have everything going our way, if your mind and normal life is normal thats it.
The destination of my dreams, normally, takes place on an earthly like place.
I can do teleportation all that, but there's a limit.
I can't have me teleport all the way to the root of problems, it only brings me to the branches.
Which means i have to find my way in. Which is tiring. Thats the way life is infact.
Your mind can't be absurb such that everything goes your way doesn't it?

I'd assume it would. Not because one focuses on the dream itself, but because if one were to meditate then I'd assume he or she would experience the "fullness" of what the dream has to offer.

try looking up dream yoga. high yogi's and buddhists thought that sleeping and dreaming were a waste of time and meditated even in "sleep" or instead of sleeping. i have meditated for about 5 hours at night instead of sleeping, fell asleep later and "woke up" outside my body. it was really scary. but then i slept for maybe an hour or two and felt AMAZING the next day. like i had some of the best sleep in MY LIFE. so i would say it is definitely definitely worth a shot.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it. Also i feel like we're on the same page when it comes to LDs. I've never been interested in the mediocre stuff, i've always been intrigued by how the dream itself works. This leads me to jump straight into meditation or "miniaturization" when i LD. I like to "miniaturize" because i feel like it'll point me to the "source" of the "dream fabric". I know it's all in your mind, but i love to assume it's possible to see with with your own eyes what makes the dream "tick"... in a LD.

While to have lucid dreams you need to think.
Isn't that right?

I'd have to agree with Hukif on this one, assuming you don't need to be constantly thinking during a LD. I've done it myself, however i normally wake up due to the intensity of the event.
