I was just curious to see who of you friends/family knows that you practice lucid dreaming. Some people find it an "unusual" hobby. Some even get concerned or upset over it. But I'm sure there's some people who love to share it. I think it is a great hobby and really gets you to know yourself better then you could through normal means. |

I acctuly foudn out that 2 of cousins Lucid dream by practice too And everybody who comes into my room sees my big "Am I Dreaming" sign drawn on my white bord, and posted on my computer moniter |

I pretty much just go arround "enlightening" people.... I actually just talk too loudly and people join in my conversations that I am having with my friends. People don't find it weird coming from me, but I have changed the beleifs of many people just by talking to them. |

I learned about LD as a child from my father. I mentioned being able to control |
|
Yeah, pretty much everyone knows I'm weird! |

I just don't talk about it to very many people. I used to talk to other kids I new when I was in high school but they mostly did not understand what I was talking about. However, in my line of work I frequently come across people that know what lucid dreaming is and we occassionaly talk. |

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
iv told some of my friends and they acted like i was suddenly a freak or something sad how closed minded people are |

I've gotten the freak and wierdo reply too when I tried to bring up the subject of lucid dreaming to most others. Most people I know don't give dreams a second thought. |
|
i was told by someone i know who is kind of my friend. then i started practicing and i told my other friends but whenever i try to tell them about it they think having a lucid dream is like a wet dream |

I've told only my immediate family. (ie. parents and brothers) |

-Given Up On Lucid Dreaming Indefinitely-
I have told my friends and family, but mostly they don't really understand. It's funny though, how sometimes you happen to get talking about it with someone you wouldn't have expected. For example, on the day I finished school I was very drunk and I ended up with some people I had just met while hitch hiking back into town from a party. I suddenly mentioned that I had a feeling I sometimes get where I am sure I'm dreaming or something, and I wait to wake up but don't... and that led to a long conversation about lucid dreaming. They were interested, or at least humouring me |
|
Yes, some people can be extremely closed-minded which is actually very sad. Personally I don't understand why people find lucid dreaming is weird, but it's a common reaction. Even meditation these days is thought of as out of the ordinary. Once at school I was asked a good way to reduce stress and I said meditation and everyone thought I was making a joke. My sister told me that she had dreams she could control a long time ago and I just wished I could have them, without knowing it could be practiced. |

I have told my mom and brother and dad, but they aren't very interested. I've also told a couple of my friends, and one seemed vaguely interested, but never really tried. the othre has never tried, but he still like to talk about it and stuff whenever I have a new LD. |

I've talked to most of my friends and familly about lucid dreaming. My dad has always enjoyed LDing, but he doesn't do it very often, and I don't think he realized you can practice it and get better until I started talking about it. Of the friends that I've told, almost all of them said they were interested in their dreams, but only half had any desire to lucid dream. The others said they prefer to let their mind create wierd dreams. I don't think they understood that lucid dreaming doesn't put you in complete control. One of my friends has taken quite an interest, and made a decent effort resulting in a few lucid dreams. I've never had anyone tell me I'm weird for lucid dreaming, but then, my weirdness is kind of a given. |

Nice poll. =) Me meself don't tell anyone. Only a very few people, the ones I know will not react like it is weird. Maybe I will bring it up to some more people. But I don't want to explain it to people who see it as crazy, becouse it isn't. ^^ |
