I have nothing better to do while sleeping. Plus it's just a cool feeling. |

Hi guys, I'm new here and very curious about a lot of things. Chief among my thoughts is that I wonder what your personal primary goals and motivations are in the pursuit of the LD experience. It can be one or more, but I would like to know what the majority of people say about this. |

Hmm... that feeling that there is more to life than the daily drudge, or that you can do things you've always wanted to but can't for whatever reason or are impossible. I rarely get to do the things I really enjoy, and after waking from a lucid dream life just seems like there is no way it could get better. And when I say lucid dream, I say waking up upon realizing you are in a dream. I can't imagine how wonderful it will be once I can actually have them frequently with some element of control! Not to mention introspection, and communicating with your own subconscious just sounds way cool |

I use LD as a retreat from reality, they give me the ability to do the impossible. I do it fo rthe rush and for the excitement. And I am not bound by moral codes as in life so if I wanted I could kill or steal so it is a lot more fun without any consequences. |

~I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.~

First, realize that you exist in this world only because you see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and can interpret these senses. |

LD Tasks:

[ ] Play lead guitar and/or vocals in a rock concert with TONS of people (yeah I've been playing a lot of Rock Band lately... lol)
[ ] Beat the tar out of select people...
Like Abra says, the dream world feels just as real as real life only in it I can go anywhere and do anything I want! I can break any law (including the laws of physics) with no consequences at all. I can't even feel pain, let-a-lone die. Simply put, it's SO MUCH FUN!!! |

you get to be God, you make the rules in your own world. its a experience you dont forget, you can fly, be in the middle of a war fight in a battle like 300..., have sex with whoever you desire, do the unthinkable, change the land, blow up a city by just wanting it too. -all in a single night. Its so dam amazing! If only more people could understand what Lucid dreaming has to offer. |
|
Honestly forgetting my dreams just angers me, It feels like a small death. |

Lucid Dreams: DILD: 4 WILD: 0 MILD:0
Against Stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain? -Issac Asimov
I've had some natural Lucid Dreams when I was young, but I never thought of the idea I could do ANYTHING I wanted. Why wouldn't want that? |
|
Well, didn´t have one yet, but I guess I want it so much because of the endless freedom it offers me. I can do things I would never ever do in RL... Plus, I read somewhere that I can find out what my worst fears and stuff are. I´m kinda interested in that. |

There are 3 reasons I want to LD. |
|
My Dream Journal
Current Lucid count for 2008: 28
"Men cry not for themselves, but for their comrades."
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 just like the feeling of being lucid ^_^ |

LD's: 18Listen to This Will Destroy You
To discover new things and to search for.. something. |
|
Exploring, seeing how my subconscious renders things. |
|
This isn't the first time I've tried LDing but what got me back into it is when I heard that you spend 6 years of your life dreaming and I realized I've already wasted far too much of that time not even remembering my dreams. |
|
I like to explore design ideas for artwork and buildings I'm designing. Its pretty cool to be able to create things almost effortlessly. Plus, designing in dreams lets your brilliant subconscious mind fill in the gaps with surprisingly creative solutions. |

poops 'n' giggles mainly. |

I suppose to do things one normally cannot do in life, it's like a chance for every fantasy I had as a child to become real, why write a book or read one when you could live it? It's an exciting prospect. Also...I suppose would be self discovery. |
