Thread: Funny

Just because someone has had little or no lucid dreams, doesn't mean they have no knowledge about the subject. I have never had a lucid dream, but I have noticed that I know more about lucid dreams then some of the advanced dreamers.

I agree with close-your-eyes... some people who don't have LDs on a regular basis have absorbed every bit of information on this forum and have become like LD encyclopedias. Where is the problem with that?

Everything you really need to know is already out there on the net, so you don't need to have had one to convey that info. The rest really comes down to practice though, can't really tell someone how to ride a bike.

you guys are thinking about what i said too hard. All i'm trying to say is that it's funny, the dreamworld is different for everyone, and what happens inside it is something that really can't be proven except to yourself, so when someone asks, "i need help on learning to summon people into my LD" or "how do i make my LDs more lucid?" someone who has only had a few LDs tries to help, which really only makes it worse for the interrogator, because they can't exlpain to you something they know little about.

Especially so if you don't even know how to ride one.

Taven, what is the purpose of your post?

I see that you are new.. are you looking for help.. but only from those who have had lucid dreams and, if so, how many lucid dreams qualifies someone to be of help to someone else?

People with few (or no) lucid dreams post not only to get help but to offer help.. they share what has worked (or not worked for them) in the hopes that their stories might "flip the lucid switch" for someone else. I sincerely don't see how that makes it worse for anyone.

So again, I ask.. what is the purpose of your post?

I do agree that someone asking specifically how to find their dream guides or how to control something in their dream is a bit silly since the only real answer to those kinds of questions is to do what you believe will work.

But I agree with everyone else on the matter that it doesn't depend on how many lucid dreams you've had. I, for instance, have had like five lucid dreams, but I don't really consider them lucid dreams because they had very low levels of awareness, but even though I haven't experienced a real lucid dream, I still help new people when I can.

Ive had about 25 proper LD's myself but I still know nothing about them. I can fly, stop traffic, break walls, and sometimes I can move through walls. I doubt ill have the skill to create things for a long time since that requires a bit of thinking and when I think too much the dream fades away and goes black.

Horsebucket, been on a posting rampage latley?

You don't really have to have experience with LD's to give advice on LD's.

For instance with your bike quote. If you have listened to people talking about riding bikes and read a ton on riding bikes. And you say the same thing as someone who has ridden a bike. Then technically speaking giving the advice that someone who gave you who actually performed the action is pretty much the same thing if that makes any sense.
