Before you read this thread, I would like to mention that no point in this thread is un-disputably true. Like almost everything in this forum, it is theory. Although, I assure you that it is based quite solidly. If you have a problem with one of the points, Post about it. Its a discussion forum after all. But at the same time realize that this is for a non-religious/spiritual look at LDs. This does not necessarily apply if you think LDs are designed to serve a purpose along those lines.

Now, why I decided to do this... Mainly because I can... But also partially to share the most interesting tidbits that I’ve learned through experience with the community. I hope these serve as good leverage to perhaps gaining good/complete control or (better yet) help people to have more enjoyable dreams.

The List!

- What happens in a dream is exactly what you truly expect, deep down inside to happen.

- If you truly believe, with no doubt in your mind or heart that something will happen, it will. No matter what.

- There is no spoon (Think of the context of this one. It’ll make sense.) The spoon doesn’t bend. Only your mind.

- All control techniques do one thing and one thing only: make you believe that something will happen by using something that is easier for our mind to believe. Lets take a time machine for example. If you build a time machine that you think will take you back in time... it will. Of course, if you have doubts about it not working, it may not. This is why many techniques fail. Lack of trust.

- It is possible to have an enjoyable LD without total control. “Sure, you can move mountains. But why move mountains when you can walk around them and witness the wonders that lie there?”

- Time is a figment of your imagination.

- A dreams worth can never be measured using how vivid it is, how long it was or how much control you had etc. No statwhoring. The bottom line is: did you enjoy it?

And there’s my 2 cents about Lding. I may start updating this as I remember more things that are important. Comments plz.
