LUCID DREAMING MAKING IT big

[Howie]

NEWS!!!!!!! Lucid dreaming on ABC Thoughts on how they present this?

[Adam]

A very basic write up - mostly formed of quotes from LeBerge - can't be bad for publicity of lucid dreaming though.

[27]

I didn't like it. Thinking that your subconscious is sending you messages through dreams is little better that believeing that all of your dreams are messages from God. Why would anyone waste time with non-lucid dreams when you can do anything you've ever wanted to with that time?

[Cammy]

Good video, i can show that to people now to let them know im not making it all up

[27]

Why is this thread stickied? (stickyed? stuck?)

[jamous]

maybe I'm just selfish, but I really don't want lucid dreaming to become some new craze you know hit the main stream or whatever. It's special to me

[Xox]

Good publicity for LDing either way.

[mikestankus]

yea man me too. I think it should stay underground. only for those curious enough to discover it on their own via google or w/e. Not mass spread over the news. Thats my 2 cents

[jamous]

[suttsman]

Nice! Now I'm slightly less pissed off at Disney.

[Sugarglider11]

It looked like that guy was going to crack up while talking about it. I also think the news is making it sound very difficult, or you cannot achieve it unless everything is perfect. Why would people go all the way to Hawaii when they could come here

[mikestankus]

Hah I dont know. I guess dreams in Hawaii are.. better? aha Was that Laberge in the video? I am half way through the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" written by laberge and I think the guy in the video is him. And He doesnt look at all what I thought he would look like.

[Howie]

yea man me too. I think it should stay underground. only for those curious enough to discover it on their own via google or w/e. Not mass spread over the news. Thats my 2 cents Hey mikestankus. How do you like the new Radio Head? Yes, That is La Berge. He has certainly aged. I am disappointed by the overall bit. The overtones make the concept seem on the realm of metaphysical or yaa OK right. Another piece - "manipulating your dreams." Manipulating? I used to believe it should stay underground, unknown. But why? Selfishness? I took a deep look at my motives and found they were self absorbed. Just as I would like to pass on anything I feel to be positive, I think no differently than the skill of lucid dreaming. The more people to realize the benefits of lucid dreaming will in turn have good and positive changes and awareness over all, no? More experience, more feedback. Possibly outlooks we have never thought of.

[mikestankus]

Well I see where your comming from And I guess the part of me that wants it to stay underground is the selfish part of me. I feel that if all of the sudden everyone were to start lucid dreaming than I would not like it, but for an unknown reason. But now that I think about it, I do wish there were more people I could just ttalk to about dreaming without them thinking im a psychopath. I guess If LD'ing did get out, it would be for the better. Oh and the new radiohead album is a masterpeice btw. Oh and light without heat guy, Ive been playing Guitar for about 6 years Im a huge steve vai fan too. I think he's above most guitarists. Also a big fan of John Petrucci from dream theater. Last Vai song I learned was probably the attitude song, aha good stuff. we should talk guitar some time. oh, you ever play guitar in a lucid dream? That would be sweet I havnt. I have played guitar in a regular dream, and I blew out my amp sucked. hah get back at me maynee

[lespaulsRcoo]

Ya mikestankus, i know EXACTLY what you mean. I don't know why but somehow, because the world doesn't know about lucid dreaming, it makes it so much more special to me. But I don't really know why but i guess it is pretty selfish. I dunno... maybe its the fact that in my dreams i can do things that VERY FEW other people can, and if everyone knew about it... well then it would be nothing special. But i think it would be nice if a few people i knew, understood it. Then they wouldn't see me as crazy. By the way, i love the new album too!

[Howie]

Well I see where your comming from And I guess the part of me that wants it to stay underground is the selfish part of me. I feel that if all of the sudden everyone were to start lucid dreaming than I would not like it, but for an unknown reason. I know what you mean. Take radio head for example. They have a ton of great songs and all you here is creep. When the public really adheres to something I too tend to get repulsed by it. I really don't see LDs becoming that way. If they did, they are still my dreams. oh, you ever play guitar in a lucid dream? That would be sweet I havnt. I have played with Jimmi Page twice. One Lucid. The non lucid one was better. My conscious mind was not analytical of the situation. The non lucid dream I was just jammin. Jamming hard, it was intense. I'm not sure why Page twice..?

[ThePhobiaViewed]

I like how in the article they warn that if you lucid dream too much you could lose the fact that normal dreams can warn you and stuff. If I ever become that good at lucid dreaming am I really gonna care about stuff like that anyway?

[Zimmerman]

I too like it underground, but I'm not completely against the idea of it becoming more well known. I take comfort in the fact that most people won't have the willpower to become proficient in lucid dreaming even if it is hyped by media coverage. oh and mikestankus, nice avatar like you said the album's a masterpiece! I too play guitar, nice to see other musicians here

[mikestankus]

Aha yea that was funny about becoming too good at lucid dreaming and eventually "you could lose the fact that normal dreams can warn you and stuff." I agree with the theory that dreams are mostly just "Daily Residue" That term was coined by Freud and it basically means that random stuff in your waking life, stuff you never even notice shows up in your dreams usually. Therefore, I wouldn not mind a bit lucid dreaming every night. Well dreams are still very unknown to us, so who knows maybe they are "messages from god" or whatever other whacky shit i've heard. Until I get some proof, I am going to manipulate every damn thing I want to in my dreams, and Im going to have a blast doing it.

[COLOR=DarkGreen]I know what you mean. Take radio head for example. They have a ton of great songs and all you here is creep. When the public really adheres to something I too tend to get repulsed by it. Yeaa I know what you mean about creep, hah. I like the song, but its not even my favorite. Thats why I cannot listen to the radio, because it makes me hate good songs. But yea thats cool you jammed with jimmy P . I am deff jealous I had a dream once I was performing accept I was rockin out on the air guitar and I got really into it, sliding across the stage. the chicks were diggin it I totally forgot about that dream, that was a good one too. real vivid. And ROCK ON all you musicians in this thread. Seems like every person who posts plays guitar, or has jammed with Zeppelin : p What a great Forum ehh??

[jamous]

if lucid dreaming is gonna get alot bigger in the near future... those of us who see it as something special, I think the only solution is to become lucid dreaming experts! while it is still somewhat underground! I take comfort in the fact that most people won't have the willpower to become proficient in lucid dreaming even if it is hyped by media coverage. me too

[Sugarglider11]

Hah I dont know. I guess dreams in Hawaii are.. better? aha Was that Laberge in the video? I am half way through the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" written by laberge and I think the guy in the video is him. And He doesnt look at all what I thought he would look like. He didn't act like I thought he would either, I found him more odd than I pictured him

[mikestankus]

So that is him in the video? He seems really flambouyant. Not that theres anything wrong with that, just not how I pictured him. I pictured an older man with white hair with a stethoscope around his neck, idk why aha
