Thread: Christian lucid dreamers?

Hi, I personally am a Yogi, not a Christian, but I am very highly religious, so I have a few thoughts that may apply here.

If you worry that LDs count as mystical, and have been told mystic things are from the Devil, look at the text and not at what others have told you. The bible over and over again celebrates the power of mystics like Joseph. Yet, many misguided Christians have been taught mystic gifts are only for the saints, and it is evil for others. "The Saints" were given that title by the church after death, so the logic is worthless.

If you are worried about the morality of performing magicical feats in dreams like flying, well really, flying inside your own imagination does not count as magic. It would not even impress a 4 year old. "Look son, daddy is flying all around in his head, while laying perfectly still on the couch"

Should you act out in immorral ways in dreams? GOD CAN STILL SEE YOU IN YOUR DREAMS, just like he can witness things done in a windowless room. So what? You have not really hurt anyone, so no damage done; so is it ok? I think God is ok with us exploring a little on our darkness if the intent is to grow closer to God through self exploration. Say you are having a normal LD and then you do something immorral, if it happened because of a slip in your self control, then this is a learning experience. You take it in, wonder at how the dream derailed in a distrubing manner, and work to improve. You actually use LDs as a tool to develop your self control. In this case LDs become a powerful spiritual tool. Lds can bring you into the favor of God in this manner. However, if you are choosing in full awareness to act out in radical or immorral ways in LDs, what then? I feel that the acts do not carry the weight of sin, but face it, God is watching you do all that sick and disturbing stuff. He may not punish or hold it in record, but certainly you will make God think you are a bit creepy.

My final thought. You can use LDs as a 100% worship based religious activity. Here is an example. Instead of making a list of dream goals that read like video game skills, aim for lofty and spiritual goals. Examples: 1) Climb to a hill top and call out "Thank You" 2) Basic summoning, find a church. 3) Go up to, and neal before a cross. 4) Repeat a Hail Mary and an Our Father. With those as your drive and goal, how could God not feel you were using LDs as worship, and so smile upon you and your neat little hobby.
