Material irony is bizzare.

Very true, thank you. I guess I'm just looking for motivation and encouragement.

/me motivates and encourages.

Might as well do something while we're alive.

Or dead.. depending on what sleep actually is... meh.

/me wishes luck, again in 3rd person.

Just read some of the dream journals and the task of the month threads to read about the amazing things people do in lucid dreams, and if that is not motivation enough nothing will be

Happy to offer a helping hand if you need guidance along the way.

Thank you very much. I will check out the dream journals, thanks for mentioning them. Also, everyone is very helpful on this forum, I'm glad that I came here.

Thanks again, Adam.

I originally got into it for the "mind over matter" appeal - bridging the gap between conscious and unconscious and mind and body, so that I could have more of a sense of power and control internally.

Also, it's fun to be able to fly, walk through walls, and hit on random people without consequence. There are no inhibitions in dreams except those that I expect to exist.

And a lot of real life inhibitions are probably just expectations too. So I'm now thinking that if I refamiliarize myself with the nature of dreams, and develop dream control, I'll be able to use similar principles to work around the whims of my subconscious in real life too.

I also got back into it because I wanted a good solitary hobby.

I lucid dream for the adventure mostly, but also to learn things about myself.

It's cheaper than taking a vacation and MUCH cheaper than a psychiatrist!

You took the words right out of my mouth. And made them funnier. D:

@hapkidoman: I used to train in Hapkido and Tang soo do a while back, but then I moved. I think I was between orange and green belt (our academy used half stripe belts).

It too comes naturally to me but I enjoy it simply because it's fun. You can do things and meet people you can't in real life. It fulfills personal fantasies (not sexual, I'm talking about flying etc.)

Thanks for the reply, you're probably the first person who understood what my name meant .
