Thread: Do they know?

Last night, I went to my friend's house to watch movie with other friends. I had just arrived, therefore, we were only three. We talked and something reminded me of one of my dreams which I felt obliged to talk about. I never told anyone about LDs, but I talk a lot about my dreams. Then one of my friends, which I don't know that well, we just hang out with the same people, that's all. He asked my other friend "Is he one of these people that keep getting dreams?" He asked and it didn't sound as a compliment. My other friend said "Yeah" with a sighed (kinda in the bad way). Then we changed subjects... I just wondered... What did he mean "Is he one of these people that keep getting dreams". Do they know about LDs? Does everyone know about LDs, just as we found them, except they don't believe or just don't like the idea? Are we like two or maybe three kind of people: The people That Lucid Dream, the people that know about it but find it pathetic and the people that don't know about it. Could the second group be bigger than we think? I mean, if we, lucid dreamer, don't talk so much about lucid dreams, why would the one that find it stupid ever talk about it? Would it be the reason we don't know about people knowing about it? Because no one talk about it? When he said "Is he one of these people..."... Would it mean he knows more than me? Or just that... Anyways, I don't even really know what I'm asking, but it just kinda felt weird in the moment and had to share.

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.
