I'm lacking some lately so........what makes you want to have (or try to have) Lucid Dreams..? |

To discover my inner peace;something that can't be done so easily in reality. My perfect LD would be in a tranquil background with the sun-set sky paired with an ocean horizon. |
|
It's got to be a spark. As with most of my hobbies (fish, papercraft, gaming), I need a spontaneous spark of interest to get me going. For fish, it could be noticing a new phenotype just developed in some maturing fry. For gaming, it could simply be someone's pixelly avatar, or a new release. For dreaming... Well, that could spawn from another dream, or from reading my favorite journal entries. The best, though, is reading a really imaginitive (and not half-formed) thread on the forums. |

For me my most serious use for LD is to get speaking in another language. This morning I awoke with the recall of a dream I had about speaking Spanish. I was in Antarctica at a kid's area in a mall and I was talking with Cheech Marin, in Spanish. I've been living in South America for a few years now and I know a lot of Spanish but I'm just a little intimidated to speak it out loud, I feel very self concious about doing it. I'm an English teacher and I know that most of my students feel the same way about speaking English. I'm thinking If I can change over to Spanish in my dreams it might be a good start to get speaking in Spanish while I'm awake. I also think if I can master the technique maybe I can teach my students about it, maybe it will really help them to get speaking too. |

Oh boy! You need motivation!? Just watch The Matrix! Haha. But seriously, the idea of being able to do anything you want to is just incredible motivation in itself. Let me stress ANYTHING!!!!!! |

About motivation... thats pretty a loong and neverending story. Motivation is something you are searching for only if you doubt what you are doing. You actually dont know, why to try lucid dreaming. |

I'm scared to try it. I've had a few dreams where I knew what i was doing but didn't make the connection that I could control it so I was begging myself to wake up. Then i heard about all the sleep paralysis stuff and now I'm really creeped out. =( |

Motivation? Think of something you've always wanted to do/try! |

If you decide that something is beautiful
then something else immediately becomes ugly
without you realizing it

Seemingly the bough is the cause of the fruit,
But really the bough exists because of the fruit.
-Rumi
Sleep paralysis does sound scary, but it's really just the fear of the unknown. If you do it then you'll lose your fear of it. And I know it can sometimes be terrifying when you don't quite have control over your dream. I've had to force myself to wake up, too. But I think that, on the whole, the sheer amazingness of lucid dreaming far outweighs the occasional bad experience. |

Probably the best reason I have for lucid dreaming is for drawing. To find something interesting to draw normally takes time and effort, but to find something interesting to draw using lucid dreaming just requires me to have a lucid dream, look around, and remember what I see. Really, any creative activity could be simplified in a similar way, and you probably do something that could be improved through lucid dreaming. |

Whenever your thinking, just remember thoughts become things.
Current goals:
-Drive a Ferrari 458 { }
-Go to a different plant { }
-Street race with different cars { }
-Kiss Megan Fox { }
Last LD: 8/16/2010
I lucid dream to work directly with my subconscious mind. Yeah, flying is an amazing rush, LD sex can be great, but I'm more interested in the waking-life applications of LDing. I want LDs to make a difference in my life. |

Aside from the countless possiblilities LDing brings... the fun of it all is the main factor. Even if I don't really get anything done in a LD, I still have fun with it. |
