You know, when I first signed up here, I didn't really expect the way people saw dreams here. I mean.. Lucid dreaming would, to me, be a powerful self-examination tool, something I could use to explor my subconscious, and maybe, just maybe, find others in my dreams, you know?

Here, it seems that people see lucid dreaming as a play-thing, something to amuse yourself in your sleep. Now, I know there are those who think otherwise, and this is a very wide generalization, but that's the feel I get here. Some conjure up zombies to blast away with ki energy. Others want to fly or swim or walk through walls or bring a celeberity into their dream.

Is that all there is to lucid dreaming?

What if you can't get rid of the zombies? What if your mind is, like... Invaded and you can't kill them.. I know this is contradictory to the idea of lucid dreaming, where you can control anything, because, after all, it is your mind. But I don't think you can just play with your unconscious like that.. It can have dire consequences. I don't think your unconsious is just some play ground to gof off.

Now, I don't think it shouldn't be done at all, it is fun, and gaining control of your dreams is an exciting idea, but after a while, doesn't it get boring? Don't you want to do something more constructive with this skill or gift?

I dont' know, just wanted to bring this up, just to debate or get others to add or subtract from this. I didn't know where to put this, but since this is general dream discussion, I thought it'd go well here.

Sorry for rambling. ^^;
