Motivation to LD

[qwerty]

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

[Njd1990]

For me, I want to do everything I can't do in RL (Really, just about everything), and I also want to talk to dream characters. I think that could provide a lot of laughs as well as some insight into my sub-conscious.

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. Or like NJD said before. You can do things you can't do in reality. Just think of some stuff up carefully, and list 'em out. You shouldn't be obligated to LD if you have no motivation at all, so don't stress it out.

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. Last night was the first time I recall doing it but I'm thinking that since so much of language takes place automatically anyway, maybe recall isn't totally dispositive, but it does give me some more confidence as I remember what I said and it was correct. Well that's one of my motivations... This dream wasn't lucid, but I have been telling myself to speak Spanish in my dreams. I had plenty of clues that it was a dream; the words on a woman's t-shirt changed when I looked away TTWW (Thought That Was Weird), my brother was holding up a giant Snow Flake TTWW, and I was walking barefoot at the south pole TTWW!

I'm lacking some lately so........what makes you want to have (or try to have) Lucid Dreams..? Just because I can. If it's there, then why not do it? It's much too interesting of a concept to ignore.

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.
