Thread: How does LD affect your life?

It's something fun to do when you go sleep knowing that you can actually be doing something for the 8 or so hours that you are sleeping as to not waste time, but I don't obsess my life over it I.E. sleep my life away.

i think of LD a lot but it doesnt take over my life no way. I want to master LD as fast as i can

It makes me far more dreamy and less alert in real life


RC's really freak me out cus it always makes me think none of this could be real.

Am I dreaming, am I not?!

Yeah, definitely unhealthy to make this sort of thing your entire life.

I mainly focus on this during summer breaks or whatnot, but during the rest of the year I don't do much.

Satan worshiper...

Carousoul, yeah, that's not good. It's supposed to have the opposite effect.

haha, i love it.



anything that makes me think there could be something more than all the atoms and death I know to be true is beautiful, and what is reality anyway?

it makes for great art music and film. I'm happy.

I've mostly only gained from learning to LD; I'm much more content with life.

I've noticed a couple interesting things though:

It seems that I can laugh at people I used to find intimidating, knowing I know something greater than they would understand. I dunno, maybe that's selfish... :p

Also, a lot of really random memories seem to be coming back to me frequently. Anyone else get this?

LDing... Well, 30 minutes a day is most of what I dedicate. This includes reality checks, but most of that half hour is spent here at Dreamviews.

Physically speaking, when I keep a consistent sleep schedule I feel better throughout the day. More alert, and remembering more dreams, too.

I'm actually a little proud of my hobby as a lucid dreamer, but it's a hidden pride. My other hobbies include videogames, (Crap. That doesn't deal with real life either!) reading, and writing. And I breed tropical fish.

LD has had a profound impact on my life. I mean, just what exactly is conciousness anyway? If I have an LD and it is every bit as real or more real than being awake???

The line between waking and dreaming sometimes becomes blurred. Does dreaming conciousness have as much validity as waking?

LD's just make me really really happy. Upon waking up from one, I'm in a euphoric state for the rest of the day. I also find myself feeling like...nothing is real. It's kind of scary. Like I feel like I lose grip on reality lately. Even when I do RCs I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm actually a little worried about it.
