Promote a healthier Mind-Body relationship...............or are we tampering with the unknown. I just wondered if any members here have experienced any Negative or Positive side effects.............apart from the usual diatribe of it freeing the mind and making oneself feeling Intune with the Universe etc, etc. i did experience some time having problems focussing on "reality" after my initial experiments going lucid. I could not focus as well as I previously did in my job etc.
I'm 1/2 and 1/2 on that one... you asked a very intelligent question. I think that it is healthy to be able to control your dreams, as it promotes very good psychological (sp?) advantages... I.E. Overcoming childhood fears, testing out the impossible, thinking all kinds of happy things. I mainly think that because some people use LD'ing purely for accomplishing things, like me. I don't LD for pure fun, I LD because there's something that I want to know... I mean, ugh I can't word things... I mean like not just because, "Hey I want to fly. Lets go fly." I mean like, "I wonder what would happen if I flew out the window?" ... Not only do I not want to just go fly, I can't just go fly. --- Back to the subject --- People use them to accomplish many things, like trying to overcome fears. I overcome my fears through nightmares, when I was younger, I was afraid of the dark. Then I had a nightmare in which everything was pitch black and I was walking through the forest. But when I woke up I wasn't afraid of the dark anymore......

I don't believe it would be considered tampering with the unknown. Tampering with the unknown IMHO is like... trying to actually tamper with the unknown through dreaming. I don't mean merely wondering what would hapen if I killed this person then killing them in the dream, I mean trying to go one step deeper and actually play it out through a dream, and then dream share and do all kinds of crap. I believe dream sharing is possible and all that, BTW. Tampering with the unknown is attempting PSI, and such, basically.
Did you like my novel? :oops:
well its not really tampering with the unknown because in reality it's us controling our dreams, not some other force.
I don't really notice anything different between the relationship of my mind and body...i mostly view lucid dreaming as entertainment, a little bit of excersizing my mind, and other stuff
