Thread: Friends not wanting to LD

I know, everyone that I know that tries or doesn't try to have an LD (with instructions given by me) say that its too much work. My brother says "ya know, I would do lucid dreaming but I just don't want to do all of this crap to have a fuckin' dream" word by word thats what he said. I just don't get it. If you keep practicing you'll get to the point where its just something you do without thinking.

I think it is an "you had to be there" experiance. Kind of like telling friends about this great cruise you went on , or a really cool ride at Disneyworld. They just don't "get it". I tried telling my best friend about lucid dreaming and gave her some books, however she doen't think it's real and I can't understand how someone could go through their whole life not consciencly being aware in one single dream. I know it is frustrating because it is so cool and has practical application to life. I think it could be used in counciling. However friends just look at me like I am talking about using drugs or something, they don't get it and frankly I think it freaks them out if they don't get it. Just be patient, not all people are aware as much as we are.
