Senoi Dream Principles

[Erfeyah]

The Senoi are a Malaysian hunting and gathering people who were reported to make extensive use of lucid dreaming to ensure happiness and mental health. I found that in their dreams they had some certain principles: 1. Always confront and conquer danger in dreams. If an animal looms out of the jungle, go toward it. If someone attacks you, fight back. 2. Always move toward pleasurable experiences in dreams, If you are attracted to someone in a dream, feel free to turn the attraction into a full sexual experience, If you are enjoying the pleasurable sensations of flying or swing, relax and experience them fully. 3. Always make your dreams have a positive outcome and extract a creative product form them. Best of all in this regard, try to obtain a gift from the dream images, such as a poem, a song, a dance, a design, or a painting. Interesting....

Dont agree...violence doesnt solve everything, might even make it worse. And having sex with anybody your atracted to is shit to. But you know me.. ^_^

Some kind of dream-sex machine. "I fancy my teacher, so I MUST!" Well, seriously, that would be bad. Having sex with anybody you fancied, no matter what the consequence?

If it's not pleasant for you, you shouldn't do it. I think the meaning is to take advantage of the oportunities in your dreams, with the right judgement offcourse. What about the third one? Have you ever try something similar?

Its not completely up to me if the dream has a postive outcome or not..^_^

you gotta love the Greeks... Today, everything was fine. Until roundabout, quarter to nine, I suddenly found myself in a bind. Was it something I said? Something I read an manifested that's getting you down.[/b]

Hey Lowercase you didn't come to my Lucid Expert PARTY Come now! I think there are some muffins left ...and a kitten......

[Lowercase Society]

no thanks, i'll have some cheese pie though! ahhh hell, i'll have a muffin or two too. Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?! Have you ever tried to balance on that beam?! And if you ever tried to step in my shoes, They’d never be quite as soft as they seemed. [/b]

I got very interested in the senoi dream principles after reading a book on creative dreaming by Patricia . What I find particilarly interesting is the part about bring back a gift. In their tribal society a song or art design is useful. But here, in this online tribe? What could be useful? Anyway, it seems to me that there would need to be a group, or small dream tribe to contribute to, who would appreciate playing together.
