      In Asia most People practice lucid dreaming?

      They have many meditation cultures over there. So i would think Monks and stuff achieve some kind of lucidity. But how about the General non monk population of Asia? Do they do lucid dreaming alot?

      Do they even care about it? And are there researchers of Lucid dreaming over there like we have Laberge And Waggson and stuff in the west?

      I searched youtube in some Asian language cause i found the word through something like wikipedia and i just copied and pasted, and i found only like 2 videos about lucid dreaming.

      To my knowledge only certain sects of monks focus on dreaming. The Shivites (followers of siva/ shiva as Lord of Dreams) and the Bohn Buddhists are a couple examples. I could perhaps be called a Shivite, but I chose to remain independent, and my original teacher was Bohn Buddhist, before he converted to Shintoism. I imagine there are others, but I have not learned of them. The culture in general is not that emerged in meditation and such. As I understand it, most Asians are not much different in their interests than other races. I would like to hear from any Asian members who have first hand knowledge of whether this is true or not.

      well I live in Lebanon, and that's in Asia , and in Islam, praying is 5 times a day, where someone is supposed to be highly concentrated at it, and to reach a meditative state, and there is a very high interest in dream precognition, but no one even knows about LDing, or what it is. So I would definitely no, Asia(or at least Lebanon), doesn't have LDers more than any other place. But luckily, people in Lebanon have a more interest in normal dreams, so the idea of LDing isn't something impossible or crazy for most of them. So I don't get a lot of crazy faces when I talk about LDing, on the contrary, I get surprise and amazement.
      So I would guess that LDing would "grow" more in the eastern world than the western, if it would be more informed of.

      I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.
