Thread: Long time lucid dreamers: Do you still get amazed by things in dreams?

For me...there are times when I'm amazed but they don't happen as much as I would like them to. I'll list a few things of what amazes me though.

What Amazes Me In Lucid Dreams

1)beautiful architecture, landscape or objects
2)battling kind of evenly matched or overwhelming dream characters
3) Overcoming or Confronting fears
4)Being In or flying through Turbulent Weather such as floods, storms, or tornadoes
5)Interacting With Seemingly Smart, scary or Witty Dream Characters/Guides
6) Changing form and experiencing in a way sense and different
perspectives
7) Tasting/Eating Dream Food

I know I made a list but did you want us to go into detail. Like write out the dreams?

I sure do! If I weren't still being amazed after all these years and thousands of LD's, or if I had become to wizened or cynical by that experience to appreciate the amazing, I would probably be doing something else by now.

But wait; that might not be entirely true, now that I think of it...

At this point in my practice I really don't get amazed at the things that once amazed me (i.e., flying, new worlds, incredible detail, etc). In my efforts to maintain a non-dual perspective (knowing that the entire dream is me), I try to contain any amazement, because that sort of response tends to make what I'm being amazed by become bigger than "Me," and that invariably throws me off my quest to actually achieve things bigger than Me.... and those bigger things are truly amazing!

So I guess the correct response here is this: Yes, I welcome amazement, and fully expect to be amazed, and I am still amazed, but the objects of my amazement have changed quite a bit over the years.

It never gets boring telling dream characters they're in my dream.

I can't even think about someone getting bored in dreams, with so much to do.
I keep getting amazed, mostly at fights. They make me wake up like a little kid right before christmas, they can be amazing in their own unique way and always am up for new things in lucids.
