Alright, I'll get straight to the point, here are my concerns. |

Stephen LaBerge's tips for MILD: (http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-expe...ml#post2160952
I definitely know what you mean about them being "real" while in the actual LD, but even so they are still different from reality, the brain can't reproduce the waking life 100%. The most basic examples would be how nothing you read makes any sense and nothing stays put if you look away for too long. |

Hi there, and welcome to DV! |

LDs are definitely a good thing for you to do, learn to live in the here and now of the present moment and your anxiety will dissolve away like the illusion it is. |

Every single day after I've had a lucid dream it turned out to be a good day. I think its the fact that the same petty crap at work that may get to me on other days doesn't get to me the day after lucid dreaming. I also seem less anxious i would say as well. I never wish I was still dreaming and life is too boring and become depressed, I think that I cant wait to become lucid again. So take it from a guy that is relatively new to the lucid dreaming world and give it a shot. Only good can come of it. |

Yup, this is a big incentive for me. I've worked quite a bit in recent years becoming more aware and present. Something piqued my interest in LDs a few weeks back and I recognize a synergy between some LD practices and contemplative/meditative practices. It just 'feels' like a natural fit. |

I have to say this bothered me sometimes too, hehe. But as it has been said, so far I've never had any difficulty distinguishing Real Life from Dreams. The only times my brain has played some tricks on me, have been when drinking alcohol in a party, when feeling very sleepy (like, after eating a lot for lunch - Nap time!), or when finishing a task that has had me super-concentrated. Even in those cases, RL has always had something different I can feel straight out. And even if it wasn't like that, Reality Checks are always there to do just that: "Check the Reality" |

Short-Term Goals:
[] Stabilization. [] Ask a DC if he/she knows that this is a dream and how he/she feels about it. [] Find a DS. [] Look myself in a mirror.
Long-Term Goals:
[] Fly [] Know myself enough to determine what helps me to have good dream recall and dream lucidity. [] Mastering materialization [] Find a Dream Guide
ComeOnTown: Your concerns are wholly unfounded. Not sure how you even managed to come up with such a list. Even if you suffer debilitating anxiety in real life, there's little likelihood that a lucid dream will negatively impact that. The balance of your concerns (forgive me for being blunt) are baseless as you will discover if you put in the time and effort to educate yourself as to what lucid dreams really constitute. Anyone who claims (as a legal defense or simple as a lame excuse) to have shot anyone while lucid dreaming is an out and out liar. While dreaming (lucidly or otherwise) your body is paralyzed...you couldn't move if you wanted to let alone operate a gun, aim and shoot someone. The idea is preposterous. |
