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

For those who lucid dream regularly, or are at least capable of it from time to time, do you day dream also? This was something that just popped in my head and I had to ask.

i too would like to know the answer to this...

Anyone willing to answer? I'm sure of the 40 some odd people who've viewed this thread, there must be at least one or two lucid dreamers who can shed some light here.

I can day dream, but I go unaware :/.

Well,
who cant day dream?
Or do you meen like, day dream in a lucid?

I'm not saying people can't daydream. Everyone can do it obviously, and they probably do it...maybe daily! My question was whether lucid dreamers daydream frequently...perhaps more frequently than non-LDers do. I guess I worded it wrong. My bad.

And Sleepy...you know what daydreaming is. Perhaps you were thinking of something profound. But I was referring to simple daydreaming.

So, of all you who can LD, would you say you also daydream a lot? And perhaps it might be a good idea to include those who cannot LD yet.

I cannot LD as of yet, but I daydream constantly. I have an overly active imagination, and I dream up all kinds of things during the day. Like DreamQueen, I loose concentration on daily tasks.

Well, I can lucid dream and yes I do daydream as well. In fact, I daydream a heck of a lot. So much so that I often have trouble concentrating at work coz my mind prefers to drift off to my own private universe of shoes, perfume, ice castles, and Robert Pattinson...

What is daydreaming exactly?

I daydream excessively. Maybe it is a lucid dreamer thing? I like daydreaming because you kind of let go of the world and go into your own little world. Which is pretty much like lucid dreaming. Things I wish were possible can be possible in day dreams and lucid dreams.

It's not just a Lucid Dreamer thing. I daydreamed LONG before I knew what Lucid Dreaming was. They were just as vivid they are now. Of course, we don't know who daydreams or not IRL. It's not like people openly talk about it, or Lucid Dreaming.

I didn't answer because... You won't learn anything by asking a group of people entirely comprised of those with an interest in lucid dreaming whether they daydream more than other people. Plus, people who are really into this topic will answer it, people who aren't will pass it over. So there's really nothing to be gained except personal accounts of those who choose to respond.

That's not entirely true. If a lucid dreamer comes aboard and says, "I never daydream" then I'll know there's no connection.

Not necessarily. It also depends on why and about what people daydream, and the same for lucid dreaming. Either way, the sample is just way too biased imo

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.
