Thread: would it be a sin?

Well there's no such thing as a Sin. That's just a way some people choose to perceive something on what they're conditioned to believe is right or wrong & I think most of us judge it pretty well (I'm sure you're not a rapist).

In dreamstate all you have is you, your inner self & everything outside created from it so you're only playing with yourself.

There are no rules.

Its not a sin but I feel bad doing bad things in dreams just like I would in real life. For example say I blow something up in a dream and accidentally kill someone I feel bad even though I know the persons imaginary. Whenever I beat someone up in a dream for the fun of it I usually regret it and feel bad despite the fact its just a dream.

Nah, it's not a sin.

If you were to do that intentionally on a regular basis, however, like that was your motivation to LD, then I would have questions.

put it this way....i've killed trillions of people in video games...but I wouldn't consider those sins....thats the way i look at it.

true, i never thought of it that way, cause in video games you're still intentionally killing someone.

Maybe, if you like rapped them and murdered their family, probably. But in lucids ive never had to rape a girl. They fall in love with me when i want them to. (little trick i learned

you mean like just how someone perceives the mistakes they've made? kinda like how calories dont really exist, they're just a way to measure how much of whatever it is is in something... i think

As a Christian, I do believe in the notion of sin, so here's my take on it. When you're awake, you are making conscious decisions that you are accountable for. However, in a normal dream, you are not conscious and your mind makes decisions and projects images and scenarios that are not (for the most part) under your control. When you're lucid, though, I would consider that the same as being awake/conscious and you are making decisions.

Ergo, if you did something you knew was wrong in real life, it would be wrong to do in an LD. Let me know if you have any other questions.

If it feels wrong in your dreams then don't do it. But, since you can't hurt anyone in a dream, I would't call it "sin". It's your dream and your morals. Do what feels right to you.

Now, I wouldn't encourage you do go around raping in your dreams because it teaches you that if you want something you just take it. But still, if you can keep that attitude confined to only your dream world then I don't see much harm in it.

If the bible is the source of all gods rules and stuff, check it for dreaming. If there is nothing about dreaming, then there are no rules.
