Thread: [POLL] How do you view the lucid realm?

I wish there was another option i could vote because the dreamscape to me is my mind, i have control but i like to let my mind do the work, i don't dominate full control either, i like to sort of keep a relationship with my sub-conscious mind, like a friendship, we share things to each other. Having complete control is like bullying your sub-consciouss mind, its only bullying if you find that DC keep telling you your awake in the dream and try o stop you from becoming lucid. I'm building a relationship so that i can get the best possible results

I suppose its been enough time to state the purpose of this poll.

I started this with the notion that the vast majority use the lucid realm as a masturbatory tool, and i dont necessarily mean that in a sexual context. Though 19 people is an awfully small pool to glean any info from, its proof enough that my hypothesis was correct.

A few people got my basic premise correct: When you control everything about your environment then it is no more than an infinite realm limited by your finite mind, and in the end you lock yourself in a box. Its quite a self-deceptive mindset to believe that you control everything in such a place that is so far beyond the scope of the common man. Either way, such a valuable place is wasted on those who think they are above it and on those who cannot find their way out without it.

I agree, controlling everything sucks, its more work than play, its easier to just set the situation then worry about what you do, I mean if something goes totally wrong Im going to fix it, (for example the house bursts into flames, i will just make it like that never happened) playing god is no fun, but its pretty cool to play jesus
