I have been thinking...mostly negative aspects of some people who are invovled in lucid dreaming...i will post a few here, and if i remember any more in the next few day or weeks i will post them.


Soft disclaimer: these are my opinions. if you disagree, do what you do best, and try not to cut me down.

The power of the subconcious mind vs. the concious mind-
The concious is the ruler of waking life, whereas the subconcious sits on the throne of the sleeping life. When the concious invades the subconcious worlds and awakens (BY WAY OF LUCID DREAMING), the subconcious is somewhat confused, and tries to trick the concious...to fall 'back to sleep'. This is why certain things happen in dreams where we are so close to lucidity, and tricks get played on us...etc...i think that there is a constant battle between the concious and subconcious...and people that have a balance, 'become' the best people that they can be.

Levels of lucidity-
Certain people bost about certain levels of lucidity they can or have reached. Some people talk about HIGHER LEVELS, about controlling everything and everyone...deciding the fate of the universe. There is no way of knowing of what these people are saying is true or not. We cannot project their dreams on a screen, because we don't have that kind of technology and that is highly unethical. Lower levels of lucidity include controlling some of the dream to a small extent...as i was thinking, does this REALLY exist? OR when we wake up do we just fill in the HOLES and through the power of SUGESTION-through our SUBCONCIOUS mind 'tell' us that we had some control? or that we had some part to play?
Now...what is control to put it in reality? How do we REALLY know how much control we had unless we actively know in the dream that we did...i really think that when we wake up, if we can barely remember what happened the night before, that our subconcious fills in holes for us.


(trying to think of more thoughts...)


Natural Lucid Dreamers...or people that 'have tons of lucid dreams'
We cannot tell if these 'natural' lucid dreamers even exist...just from conversations from them. i don't know many people on this site...so i don't 'realistically' trust most of you...some of you i do. Now, i can say that there are some people on this site that bost so much about their accomplisments...and i think some people are full of shit. Others i trust, but some people talk like they know everything and can't really show for it...none of us can. But it is evident that some people are full of it. I know a couple of you really do have intersting inspiring, REAL lucid dreams...but i think some people just love the second hand attention through a 'story' they create...AHH! i sound like i'm comming up with a conspiracy theory...sorry.


The Dream world
Some people say that the dream world is another place in 'space', that it is a different play, that it is a different WORLD. I just think it is there for us to enjoy...just like space...there are no aliens...there are no Martians...SPACE is there for us to enjoy...NATURE(whats left of it) was created for us to enjoy...just like the dream world. We are MEANT to have lucid dreams and explore the world of the subconcious. I don't deny that certain people can reach different levels in the dream world... but i only think it is is the world of the SUBCONCIOUS, and in the waking life, we explore the CONCIOUS WORLD...in dreams, we merely walk the subconcious world.
