Well a day dream is you just thinking stuff you wish you could do, playing out scenarios in your mind, lucid dreaming is more like doing the scenario, not just thinking about it |

I just joined this group today and wonder what is the difference between a lucid dream and a day dream? I have heard of lucid dreaming before, but never attempted one before. I day dream all the time and have complete control and I wonder how much better the lucid dreams can be. Thanks for your help. |

yes, and sometimes it can feel just as real as reality. If you do a WILD, it could feel more real than real. day dreaming is just thoughts, lucid dreaming is actual sensory input (but we don't know where those senses come from) |
|
When you lucid dream, you are inside some random setting. It's absolutely realistic, even more real then reality. You have limited control over countless things. As you advance, degree of your control increases... |
|
Wow, this is pretty amazing stuff. I'll read this site and see if I can have one. What is a WILD, btw? Thanks again. |
|
WILD stands for Wake Induced Lucid Dream. |

I have to disagree with Ev. day dreams can be pretty vivid and similar to an LD, if you are good at visualisation and what-not. I can actually feel something just by looking at it or thinking about it. it really depends on how good you are at things like that...but, I would say lucid dreaming is better. a LOT better for some, but like I said, it depends. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
I remembered my last dream this morning. I am going to get a dream journal to try to remember all of my dreams. I also am starting to question reality and hopefully I'll be doing this in my dreams, soon. I tried to WILD about three times, yesterday, but I guess I'm not ready for it. Two times I felt as if I was going away and paralyzed, but I decided to quit. These two times, I felt my heart beating slower and it was a lot more noticeable, which was kind of wierd. Also, my throat was filling up with saliva. In my third attempt, I was unable to get this far. I guess I'll just take a slower route toward getting a lucid dream. |

I'm intrigued by the notion that someone would think that day dreaming and LDing are even comparable. |

"By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me; a prayer to the God of my life."
Psalm 42:8
i agree that day dreaming can be very realistic, but not as much as a LD. i day dream, and its sort of like you get to build your set, and then you go deeper into the dream, almoast like sleeping, and then u get to go into the set u built. |

Paperdoll is right, daydreaming can be pretty vivid depending on how powerfull your imagination is. But, at least in my case, LD has been like 100x more vivid, as your subconscious created the scenario for you, and you just go around doing as you wish. You don't have to imagine many of the things that happen that are not related to you(in a day dream you do). |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...

I daydream quite alot. I've discovered that when you discover yourself daydreaming, you stop daydreaming. Also, when I daydream, I do not see my surroundings anymore. I actually see the scene I am thinking of, but I need about 50 minutes of something boring to do so. |
|
I daydream quite a lot, too. I'm known amoung friends and family for going into 'my own world' and they tease me for it. Oh well, I'm somewhat of an escapist and I like my world. |

Thats a good question. |

Lucid dreams differ from daydreams in one fundamental way and that is lack of control is possible in lucid dreams whereas in daydreams you always have total authority over every action and detail. A daydream is governed completely be your conscious mind, if something is there, its because you wanted it to be there. Imagine a scene and try to make something random happen; you can't - whatever did happen, your mind formulated it and entered it into the seen entirely deliberately. |
