Thread: Dreams Better Than Lucid Dreams

Easy answer, both of them!!!!

While I enjoy having lucid dreams more than a lot of things in life, I also enjoy 'flying on autopilot'. Non-lucid dreams can be pretty incredible. You've got to wonder how your mind comes up with some of the stuff it does

I agree. Non-lucid dreams that are really vivid can be pretty incredible, and a whole lot of fun. As I have to get up very early to go to work I have to go to bed really early, so I kid people at work telling them that I have a really exciting night life, but then add that it all happens in my dreams though. If I don't have at least 2 or 3 really vivid dreams a night I feel like I missed out on something. I've found it better to just go to sleep and remember as many exciting dreams as I can, and analyze them, rather than keep myself awake all hours of the night trying to enter a WILD, and then be exhausted at work the next day.

Actually, Lucid_Seeker, to be totally honest, I find myself in much the same boat as you. Though this is an LDing forum, I come here mainly because of my non-lucids, and I actually tend to enjoy my non-lucids more. I'm still working towards regular lucidity, but it's a hard road for me - I seem to have to work very hard at it. But, I enjoy my nonlucids so much, probably more than my lucids.
