Well a lot of people won't react with "are you serious? what is that?" and more with "oh" and then proceed to change the subject. |

lol it feels like I'm trying to convert people when I bring it up slowly like that. lol I'm not trying to diss your low-key sales pitch but I think it's better to try something like this: |

First of all, your signature made my day. |

Obviously that's not exactly how the conversation will go; I'm not psychic. It's just an improvisation to get an idea. If you tell someone you can lucid dream and they say "Oh", then I'm sorry to tell you that this is a sign that the person is NOT interested so why even bother to continue. If you were to continue you'd be like that salesperson that doesn't get the point. |

I believe in it to a degree haha. |

I often see people make comparisons between lucid dreaming and hallucinogenic drugs. |

I don't even go there as far as telling people I talk to dream characters, use supernatural powers in dreams and ask my high self questions. lol That will surely make them think I'm on something or have lost it and will probably cause them to completely find lucid dreaming pseudoscience. |

Goals:
-Become Lucid in every dream every night
-Perfect the time dilation watch
-Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams
I have spent... 10 hours at least down there. Vivid, aware, crazy hours. The falling asleep in a dream thing is kind of ridiculous, since you don't have a body, so you are just doing a scene change, but then again, dreamer says that she used to do that all the time and had super long lucid dreams. May have just been her sheer will that kept her down there or made her think it was longer, but none of us can really know. |

starletdreamer, I love the conversation you created! I think I can really relate to that, and so can many other dudes![/QUOTE] |

Teachers tend to be smarter and more open minded. I'd tell my teacher I practice dream incubation and lucid dreaming and that scientists have conducted studies that show that lucid dreaming can improve performance and enhance creativity. Etc...etc...you can also bring up several inventors and writers (google) that have been able to use lucid dreaming as a method for acquiring their ideas and inventions. I'm sure that would get them interested. I think if you go straight into talking about how dream fairies and dream guides told you about your project then you'd have a concerned teacher on your hands! lol Anything but that! |

Around 2 or 3 hours, if I remember correctly. I have full details written down in one of my dream journals. Might be around in Volume II if I have to go find it. :S |

2 or 3 hours. Nice. I love those long nights. |

Also, grabbing something from the dream world, like a leaf or something wet/cold... holding it will trigger your dream-senses somehow and prolong the dream and giving it a lot more clarity. Works like a charm for me. |

I personally don't really consider waking life and dreaming that different at all, the only difference in my opinion is that waking life consists of physical objects, whereas dreams are entirely made up by your own mind. |

Do you think it would be a good idea to simply write about your lucid dreams on Facebook, so that other people can get an idea what lucid dreaming is like? |

Thanks for the welcome Dezz, I like you attitude. Keep that tight knit group. The few close friends I still have today are the ones I made in high school. I was an extreme extrovert back then but today I tend to lean more towards being an introvert. It’s funny how life changes you. |
