How Many Female Lucid Dreamers Are There?

*raises hand*

And out of curiosity, I checked the numbers of users who've stated that they're either male or female. The numbers aren't really indicative, as many members have not mentioned their gender, and I know there are at least a few out there who put the opposite as a joke. But as it stands, there are 788 users who say they are female, and 2208 who say they are male.

I'm a female and a natural LDer. I've been lucid dreaming since I was a little girl.

I'm a natural LDer, done it all my life.

What a cool escape from this boring world called reality? I mean you can have fun in reality, but you can't fly there, can you? Yeah, my Dad listens to me talk about lucidity but his eyes say "That's the devils work at hand", and my Mom just outright thinks it's weird and actually told me she's going to talk to her doctor about it, because she thinks it's a form of craziness. Great...my parents think I'm crazy lol. But my friend get all weirded out because they think it's completely abnormal and that it's too far over the edge. Oh well, I still have this forum and I approve so I say it's still a go.
I'd love to hear more especially from the girls, since most girls freak out when I tell them I've experienced a lucid dream...lol.

...Word! :)

I've mentioned dreaming a lot to my mom, and she's good at figuring things out. She knows I read a lot, including things that would make 'normal' people freak out. I asked her, and she says she loves me no matter what I am into (as long as it's not drinking, drugs and getting hitched before I'm 30 - she has no worries there). :content:

Now, as for my dad... Well, we try to avoid talking about anything 'abnormal' around him. :roll:

I don't have any friends RL to talk to about it, but I don't see anyone around here even knowing what 'lucid' means, so.

It's completely normal, in my opinion. A lot of people just have no idea about it and/or fear the unknown, citing it as something "the devil" brought about. :?

We're the lucky ones.

Female natural lucid :meditate:

We are the lucky ones...How many girls are able to see just how awesome their brain is? How many people really think about dreaming, how it affects them and how it reflects their daily lives? I think dreaming is another way to live. It's like living a second life, and if you have complete control over that second life, the wonder, the imagination, the freedom, the joy you experience is out of this world. We are better people, more satisfied with our lives, better able to handle the outside world because of lucid dreaming. It's a talent and how many people can lucid dream? Some people can sing, some can play the flute, some can act, and so on. It's apart of who we are. We are different from others because we aren't afraid of the unknown, and what is more unknown than our brain? :paranoid:

Oh, I know! I am so grateful that I stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry on lucid dreaming (after looking up 'sleep', then following the link to 'dream'). It just made me realize even more how much human beings can miss. So much knowledge out there, so little time!

We really are different. So many people would rather hide from their fears, or hate the unknown. We embrace it because we're safe in the knowledge that we can deal with it if we just try.

:D

Why did you think there were more males than females?

He probably thinks that either males have a dominating factor, where they are naturally better at lucid dreaming OR that there are more males willing to express interest or ability in lucid dreaming.

I'm female and I don't think I'm a natural :P. I had one Lucid dream when I was little, two before joining the forum and two after joining. I talk to my mom about
Lucid dreams and she says that I have enough things to do in reality :nono: I told about that to my friends but they got bored of me blabbering about dreams :( and said to not mention that anymore :P After that I told that to my classmates and almost all of them got interested!(Well I do go to an art school so it's probably logical)My art teacher even said that wherever I go everybody talks about dreaming :D

Men just tend to be bigger liars about it. If a young male has a screen name like "Lucid Master," he's probably never had an LD.

And people who say that LDs are all fun are lying too. LDs are just as apt to be unpleasant as ordinary dreams are.

Oh, I wouldn't know about that. I see a lot of female "naturals" in this thread...quite personally, I question the integrity of the claim that anything remotely resembling a lucid dream can be achieved on such a regular basis as "naturals" claim. Of course, I'm not one of them, and so I have nothing to go on but my own skepticism. :?

Anyway, back to the subject at hand; I couldn't possibly see how gender would affect the ability to dream lucidly. Although men are typically portrayed as stupid or otherwise mentally deficient in the media, in reality the structure and functioning of the male brain is not much different at all from that of the female brain, so...I'd say gender has no impact here. We've all got the potential; it just depends on who's lucky enough to find out about them, and whether their cultures would regard it as unnatural...

It's really easy to be a natural. Just look for dream signs.
