would this work and be good

if you got really good at lucid dreaming, and you could LD like every night, would this work, and would it be good to do, its just that i was thinking about this the other day and it sounds like it would be great:

the best way i can describe it is to give an example, this is the way i would do it

i would have a house just like tony starks house from iron man, i would have all the stuff he has, and also some stuff i would want aswell.
so i would have his workshop, where the iron man suit is, i could work on the suit to make it better and so that i could gradually work up to the full suit (because a while ago in a LD i suddenly put the whole suit on with all the features and it wasnt right, it didnt feel right at all and it kinda ruined it, so i would rather take it slow and see if that works)
and i could make my own cool inventions aswell
i would also have all my cars there and i could go for a ride
and tons of other stuff, its just basically my fantasy life, and i could come back to it every night and continue it as i left it.


so, thoughts?...

There is no reason this would not work, all you need is superior dream control. Once you can manipulate everything you want, there are no limits to what you can do. Starting a dream where you left off last time should ne be a difficult feat.

Mabye just concoct some sort of "save button" to tell your mind to save that particular scenario in the dream, im sure you can think of other ways to do the same thing.

I'm not sure it's so good to try to pretend to be something you're not... By the sounds of it, that would be like giving up on your real life and trying to live out a hollow fantasy in its place. But, no reason why you couldn't do it.

all it is is basically all the things i would ever do in a lucid dream all contained in a cool building and in a good layout. and it means im not wasting 1/3 of my life on pointless dreams, lucid or non-lucid. i just think it would be fun.

I suppose it could work (seeing how I technically do it), but being good, that depends on wheter or not you let it affect your waking life or not.

i dont see how it could affect it in a bad way, i mean it would give me something to look forward to, well it could affect it if i had somehow lost the abbility to LD, then i would be sad becasue i know i wouldnt be able to get back to it.

I could test this with my brother, he can have lucids almost every night now.
So..
yeah, good idea :D your brain is big, and I guess has unlimited space

Hey #1 whatever floats your boat! As the saying goes... if you can dream it you can do it :)

i was thinking the same thing, but its not half the fun, its the whole fun of it, isnt it?

Sort of like the lucid dream workshop, except for fun instead of creativity :D I dunno if I'd do this, I mean it's limiting to form the concept that you can only work on it while you're in that house.

yea but if im not in the house then i can have all the fun of flying/driving back to the house

Oh bad ways it could affect WL would be... like stop going to school early or eating to have more dreaming time, basically obsession according to me lol But I still like that idea, so cool to have a second life.

i wouldnt let it affect my waking life, i try to keep dreams and real life seperate, althogh i have had a couple of dreams which upset me, but thats sort of different, and it wore off in a couple days
