I am new to this site, but not new to lucid dreaming. I have been a lucid dreamer for about 15 yrs. now, and it continues to fascinate me the amount of our waking lives we bring into our dreams. For instance, I am scared of heights, and it carries over into my lucid dreams. I know I am dreaming, I know that I cannot really be hurt if I fall, and yet if I fly too high in a dream I get frightend. If there are any older folks here who remember the Charlie Brown cartoons, picture Woodstock flying in a broken dotted line, and if he flew too high he got a nosebleed
BUT, on the other end of the scale I am fascinated by what doesn't carry over. I am a VERY shy person, yet in my dreams I have no fear, I can just walk up to anyone and say OR do anything without being afraid.
I think the real question is what do we take from our dreams and put to use in our waking lives.
That's a very interesting point. I don't see why we wouldn't be able to take experiences from dreams and somehow incorporate them in some way into our daily lives, depending on the situation of course.
