Thread: The taboo topic returns!!!

I joined in the first hour of the new year (GMT time).

lu.cid -transparent sane clear;readiliy undrstood. That is what I have found in the dictionaries I have looked in.
THERE IS NO LUCID DREAMING AT ALL IN ANY OF THEM!!!!!!!

(How come I havent seen this topic before? )


It is indeed strange, how lucid dreaming is IGNORED by majority of population and I guess it's a CONSPIRACY by the CIA or GOVERNMENT!
Very simple nobody wants lucid Joe to discover other planes and learn that life isnt as simple as it looks...
List goes on and on...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-...59-1&q=dreaming

First search result for the query "dreaming" shows up a lucid dreaming site.

I was discussing lucid dreaming to a few guys at work and one of them said it was wrong doing and evil.
He said lucid is like lucifer.I grinned and said ..get outta here.
Another guy said he was lucid dreaming for years and he was trying to avoid it alltogether.Iasked him why and he said he used to always rape in his lucid dreams.I guess he felt morral issues but I wonder why he couldn,t control it if it upset him?

I hate too be fanatical but we as Lucid dreamers have to spread the word.
-Has anyone found Lucid dreaming in their dictionary?

It is two seperate words! An adjective and a noun. They can't mix in a dictionary as one word. But most search engines have a link to lucid dreaming sites in the top twenty if you search for dreaming or sleep.

Good point. CocoDan. But how in the hell is somebody suppose to find out what Lucid dreaming is. I am not talking about a search engine. You can find anything on those. I mean a hand held in the flesh Dictionary. If you look up dreaming it should give you an explanation or steer you to Lucid which in return should do the same .

Yes! Only we can spread the word. And we *must* do it, cause if more people will be like us, world will be better

Well my 2c and personal opinion is this:
By all means spread the word about LD, if I had known there was this much info on it I probably would have been here a long time ago.
May be you're right, the world may be a better place if everyone had a deep experience like this.
Just try not to go over board about it, standing on every street corner demanding ppl give it a go makes it look as crazy as those ppl who denounce it as absolute evil.

Because here's the simple truth:
If they are reasonable ppl who are willing to honestly atempt to expand their minds they might give it a go.
If they dismiss it out right as crap then -
1) No amount of attention to the topic is going to open their razor edge of a narrow mind.
2) They probably don't deserve to occupy such a free and wonderful space as LD.
Leave them in the dark, after all, they can join the party any time they want. But thats a choice best left to them.

Exactly....

Since nobody else teaches us about this great ability we have, it is up to us to spread the word. I know I have told all my friends about it, most of them don't seem to care, but then that is their desicion. I am very glad that I found this site and learned about the power of our mind, and how we can consciously alter our dreams.

I am sure there are many out there that would love to lucid dream, but don't, all because they don't know about it. Let us teach them, if we can get to one person then it will all be worth it....

My friends seem to look at me funny and say something like

"Umm...Ok Bryce..."
and walk off

I get so freaking pissed off, why can't I have open minded friends.

Example:

I lost my password to my school email account and hadn't bothered with it for a few months, and finally got my psw back and when I checked it, someone had forwarded something along these lines throughout the whole school(I just can't remember the exact words)

Pepsi is coming out with a new 'Patriotic' coke can with the pledge of alliegence on it.But, it doesn't have the words \"under god\" so as to not piss anyone off.Because of this, I think we need to boycott pepsi, because they pissed us christians off.Ect ect.
[/b]

I was so mad when I read this..I was like "Wtf is wrong with the stupid people"(yes I said that out loud, and yes my keyboarding teacher heard me, and yes I called my friends stupid people.)Who gives a fuck if the words under god aren't on the pledge of alliegence. Noone at my school is open minded...my friends asked my opinon on this, and they stated that they suported it.I told them to leave me out of it.

I also have the friend that is constantly stating "christianity is superior, and Catholics are superior to all others"Whom to I constantly state"Fuck you"

From my own personal expiriance I have found that the older people are the less likely they are to listen to what you have to say about LD's. (You can't teach an old dog new tricks) They seem to be more set in their ways. Where as young people are more willing to embrace somthing new.
older people = thats hog wash - tom foolery
younger people = cool -that sound rad man -excellent


I'm not generlizing people I'm just talking as a general observation. I love the old young & inbetween.

If anybody wants to spread the word I think submitting an article or just sending an email to the editor with some general info could be useful

http://www.nexusmagazine.com/

The readers range from young adults and beyond, the content is mainly science (i guess lucid could b classed as pschological for health purposes) I would take it the readers would be open minded to read the stuff in there and im sure the editor is always seeking material.

just an idea anyway

That is very true. If everyone of us picked a newspaper or a website and wrote somthing in regards to Lucid dreaming there would be an impact.
That's another reason to commend the efforts Of icedawgs new site and all of the Adminstrators :bravo:

Don't plan on getting any replies via Email. I have E-mailed several editors never to get a reply. That does not mean you should not try!

You should get into the band Bad Religion.
They're good punkrock, you'll like em.

Wear some bandshirts of em, you'll love it.

I think its just a reflection on how society interacts with events or things that would be considered incomprehensible. I believe alot of people who claim to be truely into dreams doesn't mention LDing because they have never experienced it. For one, they may have tried ways to induce it and wasn't patient enough thinking it was never going to happen thus giving up and thinking its all a hoax. For those who just heard of it, doesn't believe in it because they themselves have not experienced it and believe it is impossible to do. I can understand that. Because I think we are all show me the visual type individuals.

If we all jumped the band wagon and started "spreading the word" about LD's would we not be doing as the cults do seemingly looking for recruits? I don't know...call me selfish but I kinda want to keep the whole experience to myself. Let other's find out for themselve's. After all, what does it benefit me if other's find enjoyment through LD's or not. It won't make mine any better. I know..i know, you can argue that it's theraputic to people. I guess it is cheaper that a psychiatrist.

ffx-dreamz- how can you take offense over people don't accept lucidity when discussing dreams but not understand why people who worship God as their Lord and Savior are offended when others omit Him from society more and more every day?

There are too many people that do lucid dreaming to class it as a cult.

why is Lucid Dream viewed as taboo in the press? I would say generally speaking people live life mostly 'asleep' even when they are awake. That makes them to be good worker drones for the corporation$. Doing lucid dreaming wakes you up both in dreams and in real life, hell it even makes you question "what is real life"? "is real life just a dream?". The press deems it is not in the best interest of society to have people start questioning the nature of reality or altering accepted world of dreams. Funny how neatly "interpreting dreams" falls inside the context of Freudian psychology; in the end it only dumbs down the dream as a real experience.

if there ever was a gestault event because of mass amounts of people suddenly learning lucid dreaming and experiencing a "human evolution" as a result of it, surely the press/media would label it as a cult or "dangerous phenomenon".

i love to see this website, great positive energy flowing and "no limits" approach to expanding consciousness.

I dunno. To my surprise, when I talk to people about lucid dreaming, quite a bit of them know what I'm talking about, and think of LD as positive.

That is suprising! where do you live?

What if each one of us sent out by mail one letter to anybody intelligently describing Lucid Dreaming? Just a thought.

Im gonna fwd some info about lding and a link to dvs throughout the school.
