Well, LD definitely does make my life more deep and interesting. LDing is like practical side of spirituality - something you may actually feel, experience and that's really cool. |

I have been trying to LD for a little over 3 months. I've gotten a little obssessed with it and think about it a lot. I've been minimally successful (off hand, 6 or so LD's). It is fun, and I enjoy DV, but I don't feel like I'm doing great at it; I really don't have much control at all. However, I've noticed that I have improved other aspects of my life. I have become much more disciplined, and certain things that I have been working on literally for years without improvement have suddenly become much more easy to do. |

To answer the question, yes, it has. Before I even knew what LD's were, I would constantly get baraged by nightmares and terrible things whilst I slept through the night. My restful sleep came few and far between, unfortunately. And yet after learning about lucidity in dreams and experiencing the joy of it for myself, I seemed to be plagued no longer by those malicious things. As a result of it my life brightened up, and I can now easily say that sleeping is one of my favorite past times |
|
Yes that is what I mean; I am not a spiritual person but since I started LDing I am aware of a part of my brain that I never was before--proof of the subconscious I guess, which sometimes has a different agenda than my conscious mind. I think this can be useful. That is a good way to look at it, as "establishing contact" rather then "learning to control", as I was thinking of it. |
|
Lding has improved my life in every way. |

Same as with Billy Bob for me - I was going to do some drugs today, but I had an LD last night and woke up and felt no real need to do them anymore, and infact felt a little repulsed at the idea of smoking. |

Being able to LD definately has some awesome benifits in waking life. For one, I look forward to going to sleep and having the chance to do something new. I think I have gained a lot of creativity as a result also. Also, the monotany of everyday life (when I don't have anything to do) isn't as bad, because I know there is something different I can do. |

LDing treally does help you overall. It's just plain fun to do it, and the feeling of having one is just unexplainable. And dream recall is just awesome. Think about it for a bit- for me, when I think about it, I had hardly no dreams recall, and now to be remembering a ton of dreams, just makes you feel good. |
|
Yeah, when I'm depressed or something like that, a lucid dream will always pick me up and make me feel really good for the next few days. It makes me feel rejuvenated in a way. I feel like I can handle whatever the day has to throw at me, so I just walk around all happy and optimistic. No matter what happens during the day, I can lucid dream when night comes. Lucid Dreaming has made me an optimistic person, and at the same time, it's also opened my mind. |
|
Lucid dreams really pick me up too. It's great because some of my friends are also interested in lucid dreaming, so we can share the experiences when we see eachother during the day. Also helps keep me balanced, I want to go to sleep because I lucid dream, I want to wake up talk to my friends about it. |

these jokes in no way reflect the opinion of mountain or his affiliates and subsidiary corporations, and as such he is immune from all whining, bitching, complaining, lecturing, the pointing out of ignorance, awareness raising, lawsuits etc. if you would like mountain to stop making racist jokes, he in turn would like you to go f*ck yourself</span>.
Well lets see |

---------
Lost count of how many lucid dreams I've had
---------
I quit alcohol because I wanted to not because anyone told me to. And no one suggested you should lay off the booze. So you can just run along and screw yourself. |

Mountian, you didn't piss me off. I acutally laughed when you said... 'screw you guys'. If I was pissed I wouldn't even have responded. |
|
You could only get something good out of lucid dreaming, apart from, perhaps, disappointment when you don't have one. But that is far outweighed by when you do get one. |

Well I don't think I've experienced a lucid dream yet but ever since I started this "journey", I've gained a better will power, been less cranky, and got in touch with my creative side. And since I started keeping a dream journal, I've been experiencing and remembering more thrilling and interesting dreams. Could it be that I forgot that I was being lucid a dream? |
|
Yeah, that's my outlook too. Also, if not LDing itself, DV has changed me in that I have seen many different people and outlooks, and it has opened me up more. It is also something if I am feeling down, being here, talking to people who I don't really know, who don't judge you by your looks, and how you act physically, but instead by your personality, the way you talk to others. Also, it has taught me some discipline, and gives me inspiration to want to sleep, and I expect the benefits of working at LDing and being here on DV will grow more and more as I improve at LDIng, and experience some really good LDs. |
