Thread: I am apprehensive to read some posts because if the influence to my expectations

personally, whenever im consuming LD content, very often there will be some limiting beliefs. but im pretty open minded, know a little about psychology, & am a big fan of the placebo effect. so i just disregard & ignore Anything that sounds limiting. i dont even consider that it may be true, so im pretty confident its not going to do any damage. trying to avoid other people's expectations is just going to prevent you from seeing a lot of really cool information, i feel.
i do, however, lean into Positive expectations, such as 'doing this will make lucid dreaming so much easier' & the like, as i see no harm that can come from them!
i hope this helps you :3

Thanks for your feedback, Tacky, I appreciate it! I very much hope that my case will be the same as yours, being able to read some posts and simply say "not in my case!" and discard it if it doesn't seem of benefit to me. Just the other night I was riding home in a car, a bit later than my usual bedtime. On the radio was a new song by an artist, and I was having a conversation about kittens with my partner. That night I dreamed that the musician asked me to go on tour with him, not to perform but just to be a positive influence. And, there were kittens about! I don't recall being so suggestible before!

The door will swing both ways, I believe. Something may set negatively but other things will set positively. In the end, it's all opportunities to learn. Suggestibility isn't necessarily a bad thing either. It means your mind is open and adaptable to new things. That's good thing to have when learning. I read the tutorial here about dream control last night. It's a good read with some tips about in dream limiting beliefs. Have you seen it? It's in the Dream Control forum, the folder Dream Control Tutorial at the top.

Thanks, Sweven, I hadn't read that tutorial yet- it has some good strategies! I have been reading tutorials more at the pace of my progress... starting with dream journals, reality checks, etc. I had to laugh at the lizard ice cream, not far from my example.

We do have a Book Club Section here: https://www.dreamviews.com/book-club/

ahh! Thank you!

Thanking you as well, Lang. If, by some wild chance, i should piece together an opinion of a book am I still able to post about it in the books respective thread/forum?
