Thread: How long before you get bored?

I don't think I'd get bored, I'm not a big fan of regular dreams.

For my first few days I would fly around the world exploring caves, oceans, ruins and things like that. I would also wrestle puppies.

I'd recommend sending a PM to Luminous, she only has about one regular dream a month.

I dunno, being lucid daily for 5 years now (soon to be 6) and not yet bored (ok, I must admit, it wasn't daily for the first 2 years... but nearly...), what I did in my first days: Lose omnipotence, get into wimp mode, learn magick in DW. And no, I'm not natural <.<

I voted 1-2 weeks, but that might be a bit quick. Either way soon enough I think I'd need some mental health days. Then again I've only had a handful of good lucid dreams. Regardless.

For the first few days I think I would probably do superhero things, I'd also try to be as social as possible. I'm really interested in talking to dream characters and meeting interesting figments of my imagination.

I don't think I'd ever get bored. Ever... Woah. I just got a story idea. No joke.

Lets say you got bored of lucid dreams after a month. During this month, you had constructed an entire dream world, and found your dream guide, and gained complete control of the dream, however the luster has faded. Lucid dreaming has become an annoyance. You quit writing your dreams down, and although you are constantly lucid, recall fades due to lack of interest. After weeks (or longer) of forgetting your lucid dreams, you suddenly remember one! It isn't pleasant, however. It is a plea for help, coming from your dream guide. She warns that you may die if you don't take action... Against what? Where? And most importantly, by when?

. . . A few more details: you may have had 'feelings' for the dream guide at one point (and got bored of her later). The dream guide has some connection to your autonomic processes, often predicting a cold or flu days before the actual occurence (for this reason, her warning is highly disturbing). You are worried, and now try hard to remember your dreams. When you return to the dream world you created, you find it is in ruin, and your dream guide has mysteriously disappeared. While lucidity remains, you find you have no control over anything but your own body.

There are even more details, but I won't give them away, since they'd most likely give away what is causing the protagonist's illness.


... Anyway. I don't think I could ever get bored. Too much to do! I'd become bored with life much faster than becoming bored with dreaming.

I'd get bored within a month i believe, Unless I was actually doing something useful like practicing my skating technique . So maybe a little more. I guess it depens whether you find something to do, i guess you could say the same about real life.

Thanks for your replies so far. Anyone else?.... please?

As much fun as regular dreams are (although they have paled in comparison to lucid dream), I think it would take me much longer than a year to get tired of lucid dreaming. When the whole play-god thing gets old, there's always experiencing every single myth, work of literature, movie, and video game to keep you busy. On top of that, there is room for self-reflection, psychological experimentation, speaking with the deceased, studying in dreams, building things, exploring and engaging in creativity, developing skills, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Just like I could read forever, I think I could lucid dream forever. Maybe it's a personality thing. I've always been that sort of type, even before I could lucid dream. Now that I can, it's an outlet for something I've desired my entire life.
