A fellow at another message board has challenged the people who post there to say what lucid dreams are any good for. |

Well, I thought about saying, "What if it's a nightmare?" in the first post of this thread. |

Many people have conquered their fears in dreams. By flying and then diving very fast, I defeated my fear of falling. That's good isn't it? |

A list has already been started somewhere on the site... |

Getting back to LDing
-This can be a dream-
There are lots of practical uses too, all of them discussed in Exploring the World of Lucid dreaming. Some of these include- Practicing for real world events such as giving a speech in front of people. |

I have only one reason for lucid dreaming. I'm a writer and a filmmaker, and many of my ideas have come to me through non-lucid dreams. When I dream, my mind is not distracted by worldly concerns and devotes itself as near 100% to creativity as I will ever achieve. By harnessing the power of dreams, I can wield this creativity as a tool to create things I never could have even imagined in a conscious state of mind. To me, every other benefit of lucid dreams (the fun, the entertainment, the beauty) are just subsidiary perks, though even they alone would make it worth the effort. |

I didn't suggest any task here, and I haven't kept up with any task that might have been presented here as if I suggested it. However, I do know that at least one person who posts here did something he should NOT have done in a lucid dream -- the one thing that I specifically stated here that nobody should ever do in an LD. But he and I have discussed that privately. |

Facing nightmare's in lucid dream's is also a lot fun! |

It's a great way for discovering things about yourself... |

I don't know where that quote of arnesaknussemm came from but, since it's here now: |
|
A man can have sex with Marilyn Monroe anything me wants to when he's awake. That's called a daydream. Dreams when you're asleep are an entirely different matter. |

Sensible things an umbrella would say concerning this thread: |
|
A dream
is a reality that others cannot see.
Reality
is a dream you share with others.
Arne, in the other thread where you said that you didn't think people could control their dreams, I begain to wonder about control and even wonder if you were right. I mean, even tho you suggested the tree-walking thing, and said that it would prove that people could have control, AND I did it, I still wondered. How did I know that I didn't just dream that I had control, if that makes sense, and if it is different than actually having control. I have talked to several people (who seem to have good control), and, combined with my own experiences, I think now that it is real control, and not just an illusion or part of the dream that you happen to be lucid in. In a way, my own usual lack of control is a little evidence (for me) that on those rare time that I have control, something different is happening. |

I've stated here very clearly and more than once that things are going on in people's dreams that have nothing to do with the dreamer. |

Why are the tasks here not "real"? Why would you believe people anymore if they do your tasks than if they do the tasks here? Do you believe that peoplke here did the walking-tree task? (I know I did, and I assume the others did too.) Can you give an example of one of your tasks? |
