ugh... yeah, I've told a few of my friends and they either say they don't dream or just don't really care... Well... They're missing out. |

I am still in high school and I wanted to bring lucid dreaming to light. So I tell a couple of students in my classes and most of the time they just say "Thats weird!" and I say "But you are just aware that you are dreaming and can take control.." And they just blow it off as something weird and don't want to do it. Others would tell me they have heard about it but aren't really interested. Others say "I don't dream" and of course I tell them they dream every night they just don't remember it. Anyway the people I told just don't seem to be interested. I don't understand these people. How can you not be interested in making sleep more than just a simple "blackout" then waking up again. Why aren't people interested in a playground where you can do whatever you want, or going on a quest to find out more about yourself. Anyway I am done with my little rant here. The only people that take lucid dreaming seriously are my closest friends but thats pretty much it. |

Oof.
Most people I tell it to think it's unhealthy (?) It's a bit strange. A lot of people do want to lucid dream, but they aren't willing to put forth the effort/ dedication you need to it. I did tell a friend once about it, and he was interested, but completely forgot about it probably the next day lol. |
|
The reactions I have gotten the most are them being uninterested for some crazy reason or really wanting to do it but not having the determination to actually practice the skill and loosing interest. I can't understand how so many people can not be interested in lucid dreaming. I guess they just don't have very good imaginations and don't see the possibilities. |
|
I've told tons of people about lucid dreaming, I am pretty sure (at least in most cases with me) that people get uncomfortable with going out of their normal mental boundaries, they are too used to their every day lives and think of sleep and dreaming as something quite personal.. With close friends you can talk to them about it and they will take your opinion seriously, they are much more comfortable around you and are willing to accept what you have to say as plausible whether it sounds ridiculous or not. |
|
I haven't really talked about it to many people I know. They don't even believe me when I say we actually dream every night, I don't think they'd see me as a sane person if I talked to them about lucid dreaming. |

I can see you sleep through your bedroom window. You're killing yourself with lucid dreaming.
Screw the people who don't believe us! |
|
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes.
The rest of my family are intrigued by it, although my GF is a bit non-plussed by the whole idea as she doesn't generally remember her dreams. |

"There's actually a forum that can help teach you how to lucid dream!" |

Glad to have helped you. What turns people off from it in my opinion is that they have to keep a dream journal and of course put effort in. I probably won't bother telling people about it unless I hear them talk about their dreams or if I hear them talk about how they woke up and couldn't move. Otherwise I won't bother. |
|
Most people that I tell about LD are a little bit interested, but not that much. They do not really think it weird or abnormal, but they just say "ah, interesting...fascinating" and then let it be. I cannot unterstand it but it seems, that the possibilty breaking the laws of physics isn't really THAT interesting for most people... |

I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love.
Love above all.
Current goal: Improving my ability to remember my dreams.
English isn't my native language, so please be patient with me D:
Aww that sucks. I am thinking of taking a psychology class and if the teacher mentions anything about lucid dreams I will definitely take the opportunity to explain it or present a presentation. In my opinion you should've put in one of your dream journal entries into the presentation. |
|
Yeah, he specializes in neuroscience, it's no wonder he wasn't interested. (No offense to anyone pursuing or already has the skills for Neuroscience, it's just with the reputation thing that most would just be passive about lucid dreaming). |
|
Whatever they say, which is a semi bored interest, I suspect they are thinking |
|
What is wrong with people these days? |
|
Lol so true. If you tell someone about the next call of duty game their eyes would gleam but if you tell someone about being able to be conscious in your dreams and control them and do whatever the hell you want they would be like "thats so boring why would I do that?" Jeez. It amazes me how contradictory people can be. |

I play Cod Ultra high definition with a 360 view every night, against 40 other players, my weapon of choice is modelled exactly like I want it to, I am a master of all martial arts, and I get tonnes of achievements logged in my dream journal. |
