Sorry for long post.



I discovered LDing a few months ago. Understandably I was very excited, LDing was on my mind 24/7 for a while. It was then that I made a mistake: I told my younger brother (age 13) about lucid dreaming.

Obviously, my brother also became very intrested and started reading DV forums and asking me Q's. My parents didn't know what to think - they find the whole concept strange and "not normal". I mentioned it a few times but my parents are not intrested. They seemed uncomfortable knowing that I had introduced my brother to this "strange nonsense" and dissapointed that I (their "mature" 21 yr old son) had influenced my brother with my strange new hobby. This was causing a bit of tension between my parents and I.

Having recently aquired EWOLD I took it round to my parents house where they live with my brother. My brother asked to read some of the book and having already read the first few sections, I thought it was "suitable" for a 13 year old boy. My parents however, disagreed and my brother was not allowed to read the book. They didn't think it was suitable and were scared that it may "affect his brain" because his brain is still developing etc. etc. Naturally I suggested that they read some of the book themselves so they can maybe learn something new and decide whether my brother is allowed to read it or not. However, my parents were having none of it and banned my brother from reading the book. This lead to an arguement between my brother and my parents and caused stress and tension in the house.

If any people read this (thanks), could you please answer a few Q's:


Was I wrong to introduce a 13 year old child to the world of lucid dreaming?

Would LDing affect my brother in any detrimental ways? i.e affect his brain negatively, affect his life in general in a negative way?

Would you say EWOLD is suitable for a 13 yr old and would you introduce it to YOUR youngr brother/sister?


Grateful for any replies people, thanks in advance.
