LD Acronyms

**LucidSandman** · 05-05-2013 05:34 AM

I don't know if this thread will succeed but I'm going to post it anyway!

We all know the basic LD acronyms like REM, WILD, DJ, DILD, FA etc...
This thread is for introducing uncommon or NEW acronyms to the LD community! If you would like to introduce an acronym, use this format: Acronym (Acronym meaning) - Definition (If needed to explain in further detail or to explain the importance)

Example:

-PLD (Prolonged Lucid Dream) - A lucid dream that lasts more than a few seconds (most commonly the result of stabilization). This acronym is useful to distinguish at a glance the type of lucid dream that occurred. A lucid dream can be long or short.

-SLD (Short or Shortened Lucid Dream) - A lucid dream that lasts only a few sweet seconds (most commonly the result of excitement or failure to stabalize).

I don't know if this is already out there, but CILD.
Character Initiated Lucid Dream. When a DC tells you that you are dreaming.

I really like the initiative LucidSandman, but maybe adding more names makes things a bit more...confusing? For example, a lucid dream seems easier for newcomers to understand than a PDL and SDL. Personally, I think we already have too many names already xD

Will keep an eye on this thread though, maybe there's indeed some term that can simplify a concept

I was thinking that this would be the problem, so I decided to make this thread >:} I'm a little devious.
It doesn't matter how see this thread though. For some it may be serious and for others it might satire

a little confusion never hurt, right?

Not sure if you saw this sticky in the Introduction Zone, but posting it here anyway: http://www.dreamviews.com/introducti...beginners.html

The real rule for an acronym being posted is whether or not it will actually be used.

I actually didn't consciously see it but maybe it was subliminal

I know that I'll be using PLD a lot cause it is a favorite of mine.
