Your main motivation in pursuing LD

**Emerald Wolf** · 04-02-2008 02:10 PM

My active reason for wanting to be able to LD consistantly is so that I can use it as a form of therapy to help me with all my social anxiety problems that I suffer from in waking life (By interacting with DC's and roleplaying my fears and doubts). Other than that I agree to let your dreams slip away forgotten is to lose half of your life (and some of the more interesting bits of it at that).

I wish you success in your pursuit and I think that is awesome. Thanks for answering.

I just like the feeling of being lucid ^_^

Once I get better at it I plan on skating in my dreams and see if it helps with RL

To discover new things and to search for.. something.

Exploring, seeing how my subconscious renders things.

I used to have social anxiety, that's cool what you do. My anxiety had altered my life dramatically, I am a completely different person then what I think I would have been otherwise. In fact in another parallel universe somewhere I believe another me had grew up without the anxiety interruption and if we ever met we'd realize how the same face could smile so differently. I always thought it interesting, how every twist in the road could have lead us to become something else. I'd like to use lucid dreaming to maybe find more stability as well, since I'm better but not completely.

Wow, I'm impressed that some of the members here lucid dream for social problems and fears... This is why I lucid dream... (I'll give you a list)

1. Lucid dreaming is fun
2. It's something that can be practiced and mastered.
2a. It's something that can be practiced and mastered only using your mind... You don't have to be fast or strong, which means that anyone can have lucid dreams...
3. It gives me something to look forward to when I go to sleep. (I used to say, I don't want to go to sleep... Now when the day's over, I get excited.)
4. Two lives in one.
5. I spend a little less than a third of my life sleeping. (I don't want to be conscious for only 2/3 of my life)
6. Lucid dreaming is interesting.
7. Lucid dreaming feels like it's surreal.
8. There's an unlimited amount of possibilities when you lucid dream.
