Thread: What do you LD for?

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.)

Cause you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT!

In my opinion, If you can spend 12 Hours a day following Gravity and living through your boring jobs or whatever. You deserve to spend the other 12 Doing whatever you would like, Wherever you would like, however you would like.

I'm loving it..

Like many, I seek the greatest form of freedom.

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

My first reason was to give my SP episodes a meaning. Now i want to explore my dreams in order to learn more about myself.

1) Freedom. We spend along time within the bounds of "reality"

2) to make use of the 8 hours a night I would waste otherwise

3) adventure

4) comedy....Dream Characters say the darndest things eh?

Came naturally, wanted to do some more, cuz you can do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. And the problem was, I can control my dreams easily. Attaining the lucidity part, not so much. So I searched it up on the net, and this was the first place that came up.

Exactly.

Because I can make my wishes come true in LD.

To be able to control the nightmares that hunt me every night, believe me, they're so damn horrible, and to stop wasting 1/4 of my life having other stupid dreams, I'm not a natural lucid dreamer BTW.

I can't really remember how I got into lucid dreaming though.

You might be a natural soon...

Yeah, I hope so, I sometimes feel bad when I see some people lucid dream so easily, without WILDing or anything like that, because I have to "work" really hard to have lucid dreams.

theres no stress...you can think while you fly you cant die, have matrix fun

I first had a lucid dream on accident. I kind of knew what they were at the time, but not much about them. then one night, i went to sleep and while I was dreaming, it suddenly occured to me, "im dreaming right now. this is all in my head". woke up really happy and excited, was truly a cool experiance, especially since it happened out of nowhere.

Now im having lucid dreams regularly, and loving it.

I do it for a few reasons. One, simply because it's cool. theyre fun, you can do anything you want, and have no social or physical consequences.
also, what els am I going to do while sleeping? if I find a hobby i can do while sleeping, im all about it.

I also want to try experiments with lucid dreaming.
for instance, I make music. and when I get 'good enough' at lucid dreaming, I want to write an entire song while dreaming. peice by peice, dream by dream. write down in real life, what I wrote in my dream, and eventually record the song, and if its dope, put it on the album im working on.
the thought of having a song I wrote while sleeping seems too cool not to try.

and since dreaming is controlled by your subcouncious mind, I think it can offer useful things in your waking life. your subcouncious certainly plays a part in your waking life, but it's not so appearant, if lucid dreaming can provide a direct line to your subcouncious, i think it can do some good.

but, mostly, its what i said first. its fun, thats the main reason for my LDing edevours.

and yes, the work and patience is worth it when you start having them.
wait until you have one, you'll agree.

I hope I have one soon, my dream recall is now five dreams per night as compared to 1 or 2 per night a week ago. I've improved a lot, but no lucid dreams. I'm patient though, it seems from what I've read to be worth the wait.
