Thread: LDs and Everyday Life

I was wondering how LDing might affect one's everyday consciousness. When you get to a point where you can LD whenever you like, do you notice bleed-throughs into your "awake" life?

Have you ever been awake but thought for a while that you might really be dreaming?

I'm very interested in how LDing counterpoints normal awake consciousness.

The only thing that changes is: you might start thinking that reality is not completely real. That's not bad at all, as it might give you more confidence when talking to real people. You might become somewhat less vane and dependent on the opinion of other ppl.

As for being awake vs sleeping a simple reality check clarifies that. The only thing you should beware of are psychedelic and particularly deliriant drugs, as they might mess you up big time !

YA, in almost all my LDs (which i uasualy "waste" blowing thing up with lazers out of my palms) I can levatate things and etc. and some times i try to levate things thinking i can. It kinda makes me feel kind of foolish, but i am not up-tight about personal image.

Well you don't necessarily think you are dreaming in real life as much as you think you are awake in a dream. If something really overwhelming happens such as you won the lottery then that's when you may think you are dreaming since life tends to be pretty boring. In dreams you're in an altered state of awareness and seem to believe almost anything that happens.

and hey yoshimaster I know you in real life! How cool is that!
