Thread: Day Dreaming and Lucid Dreaming...Connection?

The better you can daydream, the better you can lucid dream.

There's this online school, which teaches you the art of memory, it's about visualizing all information into a dream, and remember it that way. The members of this school also confirm that this practise improves lucidity and lucid dreaming. www.pmemory.com for a free e-book.

If you think about it yourself, it's only logical. The better you can dream, the better you can dream.. who would've guessed?

I have always had vivid daydreams.

well, reading some of your other posts here, i'd say your logic is beyond flawed!

With all due respect your logic is flawed.

If one person who never daydreams has a lucid dream then that is proof that daydreaming is not a pre-requisite for lucid dreaming, but it is not proof that the two are not connected.

Consider this: Scientific studies have shown smokers to have a higher incidence of cancer than nonsmokers. But someone who has never smoked a cigarette in their life can still die of cancer.

Hey thanks again for your nice comments in my thread xx

I incubate a lucid dream (not that often) and that involves daydreaming plus a great deal of belief that it's possible reguardless if it's a dream or not.

No problem! I seem to be collecting a number of haters. I'm sorry if I'm coming across wrong. I'm refering to 16candles, who accused me of being a jerk in another thread. I'm really a nice guy, just let my humor get away on me sometimes!

Anyway, as per the current thread topic, I'll let it go, even though I stand by my original thinking. But thank you everyone for shedding light on the subject!

This morning, i was having a running scenario day dream, and i fell of my bike, just starting to pedal, right in front of my door because i was too involved in my day dream.

I day dream, but not that often. I day dreamed more before. But lets say I am going to do something that might change something in my life then I will go over it in a fantasy in my head over and over again in different ways to see the outcome.

Hey there

Yeah I saw the jerk comment in that thread You are a sweetie, but unfortunately that second post of yours wasn't your finest moment which was a shame because your first post was excellent. You'll see I attempted some humour myself, twice, but the fists were flying too fast for anyone to notice! Seems to be sorted now. I think my last post diffused things a bit

I hear what you're saying about some people being "serious" types. Before I mention LDing to someone I can pretty much predict from their personality the reaction I will get. I have spoken to a wide variety of people about it at work and in my social life. The reactions are mixed. Most people are very intrigued and interested. However there was one person who was completely dismissive of my claims to be able to remain awake whilst dreaming and refused to believe it was possible. That person was a bit of a know-it-all type personality. The irony is he's an anaethesiologist. One would have expected him to be interested in the concept rather than closed-minded.

I think if there's a connection to be made between LD and personality types it would be that the people more likely to achieve LD would have the following characteristics: open-mindedness, a sense of fun and adventure, creativity, good motivation and a plenty of spare time to sleep in.
