Like many of you, I experienced my friends and family disregarding what I told them about Lucid Dreaming as nothing to get excited about. I knew they only acted this way because they've never had one, probably because they lack the imagination required to get excited about such a thing in the first place. But I know how to get to them though, it takes time. You gotta plant the seeds of curiosity first. Something will happen that will trigger their interest and when it does, they know who to turn to.
With my girl, it happened in a similar fashion. It began when I first told her about what Lucid Dreaming was and she said that whenever that happened to her she woke up immediately. She also says that she doesn't like Dreaming period because she feels she gets less restful sleep when she Dreams. In the beginning she didn't really ask too much about it, but then I started writing my book and getting really into Lucid Dreaming. I would watch and read everything I could about the subject. I began taking supplements to boost neural activity and have more Lucids, and naturally she became worried about that. She thought I would mess myself up, so I had to explain every thing about every one of the different supplements I wanted to try out.
Its reached the point now, a year after I began actively working on my book, that she tells me about Dreams she has and sometimes asks me about my own. She never did this before. The other day I even freaked her out a bit when we were discussing the Dreams we had the night before. She had a Dream about someone's face getting ripped off. I told her that was very interesting because the night before I had watched the newest Evil Dead movie. I watched it on our IPad so I know for a fact that she didn't see anything, plus she's a big scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies anyway. I told her about this one picture in the movie that shows this person holding their own face skin in their hands, completely removed from the skull. She just stared back at me for a moment in disbelief and then said how freaky it was that she Dreamed about that specific act. She doesn't usually have violent Dreams, she mainly Dreams about her work, poor girl.
Sorry about the long post, but I just wanted to show you that it is possible to change someone's view about Lucid Dreaming. I'm not saying you do, but don't force the subject onto her. She will come to understand what this means to you and will most likely begin to share an interest in it as well.
