      The taboo topic returns!!!

      Once again I find lucid dreaming becoming a taboo topic. In cleveland, the major news paper is the Plain Dealer. They Have a whole section in the arts & life section today (01/17/04) about dreaming. While the article is interesting, not once did they bring up the subject of lucid dreaming. These are people who study the subjeect, wouldn't you think they would be interested in LD's. Although they did not bring it up, at least they did not cast it aside along with witchcraft, extaterrestrial, and old wives tales.
      WHY THE TABOO TOPIC/////// Is the general public not ready for it?

      That's silly. For a simple research paper on dreams, I discovered lds, so if you study them how could you NOT?????

      Yeah, i think, as you said, the general public is not ready for it.
      In a way, it could be 'used for the wrong purposes', and i dont think some people are ready to 'go deeper into the rabbit hole'...

      haha then they are so far right i doubt that society as a whole would even care. its not taboo if one group of people denounces it, especially if that group isn't mainstream. ohh well, you can't please everyone. thanks for the info.

      Haha Rtex, you made me laugh when you said that. I mean if some people really think lucid dreaming is evil they need to get thier heads out of thier asses. Anyways, since this is the only lucid dreaming forum on the internet and it is growing at this rate I think people are suddenly beginning to accept lucid dreaming. I have talked to many people online that had no idea what it was. They also had no idea you could control dreams. We need an article in yahoo.com oddly enough section. Anyone know someone who writes that stuff? I bet they would do a section on it. Anyways, if the word gets out (with this site) we will grow by thousands in a week.

      Lucid dreaming? Satanic? The two don't exactly go together, if you ask me.

      What exactly could make Lucid Dreaming satanic? Lucid dreaming dosen't exactly require some kind of magic cult worship of the devil with some sacrifice before you go to sleep to have one, does it?

      It happens to everybody at some stage in their life, suddenly becoming aware of their dream and controlling it. They might not call it "lucid dreaming", though, even though that's what it really is.

      What on earth suddenly made people think that?

      To quote seeker:

      satanic? That's just silly[/b]

      Well think of the FIRST time you heard the word 'LUCID'...it sounds kinda creepy and cool to me, some people may interpret that word differently.

      Also, when i talk to my girlfriend about it, she is interested, but not enough to try it, she likes 'dreaming' of me, or trying to, but she doesnt have the motivation to try it. Maybe if i make her read EWLD...

      Well, I found the E-mail adresses of both the editor of the news paper and the writer off the article. And, in a nice manner, I simply asked them flat out -why people never dicuss lucid dreaming in main stream articles. I have Yet to get a reply.
      There are Cultures elsware that are raised with the notion of lucid dreaming. I wish I have had my entire life with the pratice of lucid dreaming. Who Knows were I would be. A lot farther than I am now. Owell. If it were easy anyone could do it.

      In the book, 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming', LaBerge states that lucid dreaming is actually easier than everyone thinks it really is. He proposes that there is some kind of 'mental block' and people set a higher standard or expectation than they can fulfill by thinking its harder than it really is.
