Thread: Are you passing lucidity down?

When you have kids. Are you going to get them to write out a dream journal? Tell them to do reality checks? It's an interesting subject..


I personally won't force anything on them, nor will I make them do DJing and RCing each day, but I'm gonna ease them into it.. Thing is though, I want them to experience it.

What about you guys?

Or are you just gonna be the cool uncle/aunt who can lucid dream?

I think that's an interesting question. I don't have kids yet, but I suspect I would encourage them to keep a dream journal, since I think any type of practice in writing/expression is a positive thing. I'd also encourage them to think about their dreams and discuss lucidity as a possiblity once they were old enough to understand some of the abstract notions of consciousness.

I dont have any children, but I do have a brother who's 20 years younger than me. I am trying to pass down all my secret genius techniques without him knowing it. Lucid dreaming, Method of Loci, Dzogchen View, ect. I sneak them in where I can.

Seems to be working so far. I think you need to share these things wherever you can. Current education systems do not teach children how to work with their brains to maximum effect. Maybe something to do with reliance on technology.

There is a false assumption out there now that intelligence can not be learned or improved through practice. I don't get it.

I'll probably mention it when they're teenagers. I'll bet lucid dreaming will help ease that awkwardness of sexual frustration and such.

Of course not, they will end up coming across it naturally anyway like most people.

I don't know, I'm too young to think about this right now.

Actually, as people grow old, if they didn't care about their dreams, they'll stop remembering them, eventually they'll stop "having" dreams.

This is for the majority of people, society teaches us that dreams have no importance at all, so most people don't care about them and "don't" dream.

I probably will, when the time comes. Good thinking.

Most definatly! I think the techniques and experiences need to be shared and passed on so more people that dont believe or just dont know the power of the mind will actually beleive and try it for themselves.

Don't wait tell there older,when there young is the best time, by the time they can speak, ask them what they dreamed every morning. Tell them to share there dream. then by the time there 15, they will be lucid dream gods ,they will remember all there dreams, 5-7 a night.

They won't have to suffer like me to get 2 dreams a week.

just look at the Yogi. they can fall into a lucid dream any time they ant, just because its important in there culture. They are raised with it.

i just randomly started writing down my dreams when i was 7 or 8.
