Hey,
So, since practicing lucid dreaming how do you think it has affected your life?

Well, I've been LDing for over 2 years now and for me it's:

Enjoyment of my dreams - Even if i don't become lucid in a dream I still wake up with excitement and joy due to my new, amazing nightly adventures. I have also noticed that my dreams have become a lot deeper and vivd since working on my recall, the majority have quite intricate storylines.

Outlook on life - I am much more aware of day to day experiences. I am more open minded and enjoy every aspect life. I feel that my whole outlook has changed and I can't look at the world the same as I did before learning about LDing.

Self Discipline - Anyone who wake's up at 5am every morning to write down their dreams has to have at least a litte

Interest in learning - How can it be that a topic such as lucid dreaming could pass me by for nearly 20 years? If somehting so amazing isn't 'public knowledge' what else is out there worth learning about?

Taste in Films - I now appreciate any film that deals with the mind/ dreaming - especially films like Vanilla Sky, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, Waking life etc. I remember watching Vanilla Sky when I was 16 or so and not liking it (I probably didn't really get it ). Then when I got into LDing I decided to give it another watch and was absolutely amazed, it's now one of my favourite films.

Music - I still listen to the bands I liked before but I now find that I am open to enjoy listening to chilled out or dream-like music, such as Sigur Ros, Boards of Canada, Mum, Do make Say Think, Team Sleep, My Bloody Valentine etc.

I would say that every aspect of my life has changed in one way or another due to LDing.
Strange how something as common as dreams can change one's life so much.
