Thread: LD'ing not as popular

I think its the natural inclination of unenlightened individuals to immediately wake up when in LD. I have learned over the years how to stay in the moment and find them to be joyess events. Even the ones that start out a little weird are fasinating to me. I love the flying, and high jumping, and always awaken with a smile on my face. I do recall, when i had my first one over 40 years ago, being a little taken aback. People fear what they don't understand. I believe that the sleep studies community has taken on lucid dreaming as FACT. Its hard to deny something that virtually everyone has experienced to some degree. IMHO

I don't think everyone's afraid of lucid dreaming. I can see that if you don't know what you can do with it you might not be interested, but I don't understand why most people won't even give it a try after they've been told all that LDing can do.

I'm always slightly surprised when people say that they don't think lucid dreaming exists, or when people do studies to prove or disprove it. It's so natural for me that I used to assume that it was natural for everyone. I really pity those people who will never experience an LD.
