Thread: Using Lucid Dreaming for Answers

Ok, I've decided to change my direction plan. This past night I had a lucid dream where I was trying to summon myself again to talk to it directly. This did not work out again. *sigh*. There were some DCs around so I proposed the question "Does anyone have anything they think I should know??" (Or something along those lines).

They all (four) started to come up to me and talked about different subjects. I thought this was incredible. Yet all at once made it completely incomprehensible.

My next lucid I was in conversation with just one DC and asked him if there was anything that he thought I should know. He opened up on a topic that reminded me alot of A Waking Life [how the guy just goes around listening to random topics]. ...It seems I have ADD in my dream world as well....

Now, this guy started to talk to me about a subject matter that I had never heard before, with dialect that was supierior to my own (Graduate level). I think it had to do with human existence but am not sure because I was more focused on what he looked like, how he was expressing himself, and the idea that this guy was talking about something on a level that I was even having problems comprehensing. I even noticed I no opionions of my own because I have never thought of this before.

In short, if we give DCs the power to talk freely, we might be able to tap into a sort of universal conscienceness. At least, from my experience last night, this is what I am starting to believe.

We may start, if given the ability to let DCs express themselves, to find the answers we're looking with less of our thoughts and oppionions interfereing with the knowledge that we gain and continue to post them here.

thank you for your help to put this thread one step forward! this is really interesting and I should try harder to make the same attempts that you have

good work, thats really interesting

This is a really interesting thread. I have often wondered similar things to what are posted in this thread, but seen as i have only just recently started acheiving LDs, and cant even fly it may take me a while to do what i want.

I want to try out talking to my DCs about things and seeing what they come up with. I really want to try things like hearing made up music and seeing pictures that my mind has made up.

This thread has given me my first dream goal!

I find this thread very interesting too. I had very few encounters with dream characters, my dream world seems to be lacking DCs or maybe I haven't look hard enough for them...
Either way I'm doing the same thing , my main goal is to have conversations with DCs.

OK i haven´t read the Whole thread sorry but this i my Opinion.

In My Lucid Dream i flew Over a Nearly perfect Rome, when someone would ask me how Romw Looks and where i which Monument and so on i could not tell..but in My Dream i Knew it so i think when we are in LD we have much more Information...maybe it has something to do with that we when we are awake only use 2-3% of our Brain...i think

I think that he believes that he flew over the real Rome and that he knew (paranormally?) how sights there were called, even though he didn't know about it in reality.

Nobody is ready to assume that, you just kept bumping into posts of such people by accident. I think that the subconscious is a big pile of suppressed contradicting thoughts and excessive ideas.

But to answer your question, maybe people who believe otherwise think that even if the subconscious is garbage it contains intuition, and pure intuition is always magically correct. Just an idea. I can make up no other reason to think that the subconsciousness can be clairvoyant.

this is an incredibly widespread half-truth. what should be said is that we use 4-10 percent of our brain at any given time. let there be no mistake we use 100% of our brain, but we don't use the part that interprets sound for clicking our tongue together as an example. in other words we use it all just not all at once. our brain is specialized, like a computer. we wouldn't use a word program to play a video, but that doesn't mean we never use word. as for remembering something that you've never seen there are two possible explanations. 1. you've seen it and just don't remember or possibly 2. what ever u saw was vague and in ur waking state ur mind just filled in the blanks. this is called an autobiographical belief.
i think 2 is more likely because people have a hard time remembering dreams as it is leaving much interpretation to the brain. it may sound like a weird thing, but do a little research on long term memory and u will find that its not a very uncommon thing at all.
it would be nice to think we can remember things that we haven't experienced, but an ordinary explanation is far more likely then an extraordinary one.

I have seen many posts like this pop up since I've come to this forum. But never have i seen the question that really should be asked when asking something like this. What makes ur unconscious mind any better a observer or explainer of the world then the conscious mind?
