Thread: Can Lucid Dreams Replace Waking Life?

I find that I edge insanity often while I get into periods of deep thought and other things along those lines, so I would probably go insane after a while.

One would already have to be insane to attempt to alter their life like that though. Could be an alternate to suicide though I guess. From now on when people are depressed I'll tell them to lucid dream for a while.

I would try it if I didn't have to work lol... dreaming is my life somewhat, and work is my life. I am very shy and socially conscious, so it's hard for me to relate to people a lot. Dreams give me the opportunity to react with people without any social phobias. However, work is bringing me out more socially - I think it's good to integrate.

Hand on sloopy, sloopy hang on...

Wouldn't this be pretty much impossible to do since we have a limit on REM sleep?

You could just live out you waking life as a boring and pointless thing then go crazy in your dreams.

I try to balance it.

I don't know if you could keep doing that forever. I mean you could just sleep your life away within a LD and only wake to eat and use the bathroom, but I don't know if you'd be able to go back to sleep completely to be able to return to a LD. I think there is such a thing as being to awake i.e. your body being awake so much that you can't go back to sleep right away. Though, I never tried myself. Though, I think what you're talking about is the point when LD becomes an addiction. When you rather live out your life in a LD then in waking life. LD can be used to help improve your life. Not to decide over one or the other.
