I've had lucid dreams since childhood. I have no limits. I don't understand others who have limits.

I feel the same way about musicians and singers. I'm not musically inclined like most of my family. Now that I am looking at dreaming in that way I can understand. I never placed much value on my dreams and therefore didn't think it was a big deal (took it for granted I guess). They're just amusement to me while I sleep. I know a lot of people are into dream interpretation and flying means this or that, but to me it's just been entertainment. I should further study this forum. Interesting stuff.

Things that don't deal directly with staying alive or acquiring material objects are important because of what they mean to you. In its strictist sense, music is no more useful than dreaming, though some people make an entire life off of it. Let dreams be what you want them to be, but remember that nothing you in this life for fun is more valuable than the other, because in the end we leave with nothing. The best we can do is experience what can, and dreams are how we can do a lot of that.

But, I don't see how my dreams can benefit mankind except as mere entertainment if I'm to share. Yes, to me it's just entertainment just like golfing. It is true that we leave this world when we die and we leave everything behind. How we help to change people's lives for the better is our legacy.

So.. "Eddy"..

The things you describe are easily obtainable in non-lucid dreams.. so..

Can you describe how you go "lucid" in one of your dreams? You know.. a description of how it happens for you?

wow interesting thread. Not arrogant at all in my opinion. I'm not a natural however I'm usually able to have several LD's per week (except for my current dry spell that I hope to end today-tomorrow), I have a hard time understanding people of different potential also. It's hard for me to imagine how some people spend years trying to have lucid dreams and only have several, while others like you have them without any effort at all. I am in the middle of this variegated oneironautical farrago- I need to spend a lot of effort to get mine and even so I don't often succeed, and the "perfect technique" seems always "just one step away".

Is it down to genetics, or early childhood experiences, or a combination? who knows...
