Thread: Do they know?

I dunno why they would mention your dreaming in a negative way, but It sounds more like he frowns at dreaming in general, or that he personally doesn't dream anymore and you're "...one of these people that keep getting dreams". I don't see his remark suggesting any knowledge about LDs. (Unless you were retelling an LD?)

I don't think he knows about lucid dreaming.

It seems like he thinks of you as one of those people who thinks dreams are more than 'just dreams', you know? A person who feels that they're important, and relevant to waking life.

He probably also thinks that it's strange to dream frequently, because he doesn't know that he also dreams, though has bad recall...

Many people just dont like to discuss dreams full stop. It makes them uncomfortable. Others do like to talk about them. Perhaps he was jealous that you can LD? My housemate is jealous of my LDs, although hes happy to talk about normal dreams. Perhaps its just jealousy.

Hm, that sounds to me like the normal thing when people don't know they dream daily, and find weird the ones who remember these dreams <.<
But that is what I say lol

Thanks guys

Why didn't you just ask him what he meant? It seems very strange for that chap to be asking others about you in your presence.

And no, I'm sure the vast majority of people don't know about it. Either way, don't worry about it mate - you seem to get very stressed out about this stuff.

I think the majority of the world understands the concept of 'having a dream and knowing you are dreaming in the dream', but I think most don't realize the control, stability, and vividness that is possible, or the fact that you can induce them to have more than one in a week, let alone a lifetime.

They probably just think you're some new age person.

Overall, people who spend a lot of their time talking to others about their dreams are viewed sort of negatively, or strangely. Especially if the other people does not understand how easy lucid dreaming is and how natural it is.

Easy for some...

I agree though... I tend to view people who talk about dreams as being new age and weird. Reason is because hardly any of them know about lucids and they're only talking about dreams because they are looking for meaning/messages/spiritual guidance in them. That sort of thing bores the crap out of me to be honest. I feel like saying "One too many cups of dandelion tea today?"
