Thread: Do your control your dreams? Or do your dreams still control you?

Moderation. If you feel you're working on something too much, don't work so hard.

I can't really argue with you, because I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You're saying that working on the ability to lucid dream, which is basically the ability to experience anything you want, is related to insecurity. Lucid dreaming isn't about control. It's about the experiences you have with that control that you can't in real life. So first you say that comes from insecurity, then because of that it's enslavement. What the fuck. It's like saying being a king is enslavement because you have to work for that power. Sure, having responsibilities can't be called true freedom, but it's not enslavement by any means.

Either way, nobody can be free with your definition, which is "no effort." Freedom is the ability to choose whether to make an effort or not, and have the experiences you want. I wouldn't feel free not being able to choose to go through the effort of lucid dreaming for the amazing experiences I have with it.

I could just as well say that you are enslaved by your aversion to effort.

I am going to add to that, and just say one line.. and I want everyone that reads this line to let it sink in..

Do you think we would be as free as we are, here in America, if the people before our time, didn't work for it????
