Have you told anyone?

I tell anybody who's interested, or seems interested. Philosophical people like myself.

Were they still interested after you told them that, or were they just like, "Oh. So, did you see what was on TV last night? blah blah blah blah..."

I actually forced my friend to do a WBTB (we were having a sleepover and I set an alarm) and told her how to DILD, DEILD (from a non-lucid where you feel the dream fading out and realize that you were just dreaming), and RC. She had a lucid that same night, but said she didn't do anything in the dream aside from thinking, "Yay! Now I can do whatever I want." She didn't seem all that excited, not like I was after my first lucid. Then again, it took me a whole month to get mine. I think part of the excitement of LDing is discovering and accomplishing it for yourself.

However, i realized that i wasnt crazy and Lucid dreams were normal so i tryed having them again and now am back but i still cant manage to have them. SO i am trying to hypnotize myself into having lucids but even then i am not as good as i was before. Even my regular dreams are less vivid..its like i am a zombie an my dreams are barely there. Its sad because i cant even sleep well...:( help

i can't believe that freaking happend. i just really don't get it. lucid dreaming i believe is good for the mind. Exploring a picture that you painted, seeing what kind of weird things your mind holds. I would actually think a hypnotist would understand what lucid dreaming is. he could be some kind of fraud or just a cheap ass doc.

I wouldnt give up. just keep practicing. it is in your control.

Well, I told my cousin, but this was when I couldn't lucid dream and said I wanted to. So he didn't think I was crazy and said he also wanted to.
