I'm a natural LDer, but once I found out how cool LDs can be I started working at having more and better lucid dreams.

Because LDs allow you such direct access to your subconscous mind it makes sense that they can be powerful tools, especially for dealing with stress and emotional issues. I've used LDs to access and make friends with my subconscous. This has allowed me to deal with some hard shit. And I just generally feel happier and better emotionally balanced.

I do think about dreams a lot more than I did before I began working at LDing. I religiously keep a DJ, and am horrified by the thought of letting even the most inane dream go unrecorded. I talk to my friends and family a lot more about dreams.

I look at going to bed as a chance to go on vacation! I have DCs who are friends that I see nearly every night. I no longer view the hours I spend sleeping as wasted time.

I use LDs to explore ideas for my art and writing, too.

LDing has made my life richer.
