      EGM mentions lucid Dreams

      Hi guys. I was just reading my new issue of EGM ( a gaming magazine) and on the 16th page there is this box that says "2005 was the year of..." and one of the captions under it says "...many things, but "lucid dreams" wasn't one of them" Now I dont get what they mean by this, btu who cares. It seems that lucid dreaming is becomming common knowledge w00t.

      That's interesting--I'm still amazed that everytime I mention lucid dreaming to friends of mine, they are absolutely uninterested...I can't imagine not being interested (at the very least!) in lucid dreaming.

      I think there is a reason that people aren't intereseted in lucid dreams; it's very hard for some people who has not experienced a lucid dream to really comprehend how awesome they are. Even for me, I wasn't able to comprehend a dream beyond a waking memory before I had experienced a lucid dream. My first lucid dream totally changed the way that I thought about dreams by allowing me to observe the dream from within it, showing me that dreams are more than just mere memories.

      I have a friend who I have talked to about lucid dreams a few times. He didn't seem very interested and even doubted that lucid dreaming was real.

      Yesterday, he had his first lucid dream purely by chance. It only lasted a few seconds, but he was so excited to have experienced it for himself and now he wants to have more.

      The problem

      That is the problem. People that never had the experience would not desire it. My wife is the same. I let her be. I just find it interesting that people that do have bad dreams don't want some way to stop them. And those that have good dreams don't want more. If you never had chocolate would you try it? It looks like solid dung and smells of clean feet. I love it.

      it seems most people i talk to aren't ready to change their perception so dramatically.

      usually it seems that people who dislike 'hallucinogens" (or would never try them) are the same people that brush of lucid dreaming. not always of course, but generally speaking.

      that and laziness. i've told most of my friends about LDing, but most didn't seem too interested. my one friend did though, so i lent him EWOLD. he's had two really short lucids, and is always interested in talking about it when i broach the subject, but hasn't been willing to invest the neccessary time yet...
