Thread: How long before you get bored?

I would use the chance to expand my mind by exploring it to the ends. I would do things that I think are not at all possible in any situation, even a dream. I would try and invent new colors, try and experience the ketamine "void", do so many things.

I wouldn't get bored. I would maybe enjoy an occasional normal dream once in a while, but really there is so much lucid dreaming can do for you. I would really try and explore the limits of my psyche.

I would probably get bored after 6 months. True I would LOVE being able to have tons of lucid dreams, but I really love my other dreams too! Sometimes it is nice going to bed knowing that you will have some adventure to look forward too that will be something completely random and unexpected!

@How would you spend your first few days of full lucidity?
Uh ... Hehe...

I don't think I'd ever get bored, there's sooo much to do when there is no limits.
Shift mentioned some of them, but he forgot one thing you can do.. Having sex with any girl/guy you want, be it a celebrity or a close friend. There's thousands of hot girls out there! You can have threesomes, foursomes, even hundredsomes and thousandsomes!

I didn't forget that possibility, but I would never waste a lucid dream on sex. I guess if I had them all the time it would be a possibility, but in the meantime there are impossible things that I'd rather do. Priorities.

Of course living a book/movie entails being around some pretty hot people. I think a lot of people would strive to be the Genghis Khan of the dream world It's just not one of my pursuits.

I can't imagine ever getting bored. Every lucid dream re-blows my mind.

I said about two months, but this is based on when I would get bored occasionally and want to go back to not being always lucid, not when I would be bored constantly. I doubt I would ever be constantly bored if I was always lucid. However, I do have some pretty cool nonlucid dreams, and I would miss that and want to go back to having the possibility of being other people or other versions of myself after only a month or two.

Yeah, my most interesting and bizarre dreams have been non-lucid ones.

Exactly. Its so much better than anything I've ever experienced in waking life I don't see how I could get bored.

I'm a natural. More than half of my dreams are lucid. So I've actually gone through some times that are what you describe.

I didn't vote in the poll because my answer wasn't available. I do get boored from time to time. When that happens I spend my LDs just doing whatever seems the dream wants. The boredome lasts for a week or two. Then I go back to being excited. Usually I'll go 2-3 months really excited about LDing, then I'll get tired or stressed or whatever and that leads to boredome with LDs. Then my LDs suck for a while, so I get excited about the possibilities again.

Some of my LDs are incredible -- I learn a lot about myself. I explore some questions that facinate me. However, some of my non-lucids are also incredible. I would miss them. There is no way, if given the choice, I'd choose LDs only.
