Before LDs you didnt know what you were missing but now you do. To me dream locations can be cooler than real life. Last night I found myself in a part of a town that looked like it could have been a movie set of a 50's era. Colors vibrant but with a dark look. No sharp corners to the buildings or cars or motorcycles parked. If you've ever seen the painting of James Dean shooting pool, thats what this whole town felt like. It was like old Chicago or NY. I became lucid and just had a rush due to the location. Not sure why but I picked a fight with a tough guy. But the point is the locations are always larger than life to me. But now in RL I am anticipating the next one.
Thanks Rothgar. I'm also asking this because I don't want people to escape from reality by lucid dreaming, because that's just running away from your problems.
