Here was the scenareo. I am in the process over the past few months of teaching my father how to LD.
He had a dream with my mother in it who passed away in 1995. In his deam he remembered her as if things had never changed. He then said, "Wow, now that is a case whare I wish I could have become lucid".
His point - Once he became lucid, he could then dance laugh, etc.
my point - Once (at least for me) you become lucid, since you are concious you would then realize she is not really there.
I have had four LD's with my mother and altough it was good to see & talk to her I was still anguished by the reality that she is still gone
I would rather have had my dads dream.
