LDing is clearly a valuable tool for the here and now, but I've always felt that it is also a training or preparation for something bigger. Not sure what exactly but does anyone else get that feeling.

thats would be sick if lucid dreaming were a hint to what the afterlife is going to be like.
Cycles, learn skills in dreams, do them in waking life. Practice dream skills in waking life, do them in dreams.
I heard somebody was practicing juggling in their dreams, never heard if it worked out for them.Quote:

Just speculation, but it is interesting.
Love your triops avatar by the way, AWESOME CREATURES!!!!
According to Tibetan dream yogis the awareness you need to have to know that you are actually dreaming, is the same you need to have to be able to tell that you are dead... so if you believe in that, then yes; LDs are a preparation for death.
You could also read the mammoth book by Thomas Campbell called "My Big Toe" (Theory Of Everything) to maybe get a clue of whats to expect after this earthly life ends.
I would say that Lucid Dreaming could be a way to experience one form of "Non-Physical-Matter-Reality", but a reality without any rules as opposed to other forms of NPMR where some rules apply.
thanks coni.
tj, i wouldn't say the dream world is completely without laws.
Does anyone think LDing could be preparing us for a dimensional shift on earth ? Could it suddenly change and become similar to the dream world.
I think that what I mean about being no laws in dreams is that (I think) it is yourself that makes up the dreamworld - so there are no universal laws. Your comprehension of yourself and the dreamworld is what makes up the laws in the dream.
At least that is my experience so far, I have been reading stories about people being able to go to the "astral-planes" or what you wish to call it - through their dreams and about people being visited by other dreamers in their dreams - (verifyed by the other dreamer.) maybe things aren't so black and white in the dreamworld. I don't know how the dreamworld is linked with other non-physical-realities. Thomas Campbell describes NPMR as many, many "dimensions" (not the right word...) each of the NPMRs have different laws - some more restricted than others - according to this the NPMR a dream is made of is pretty unrestricted - and is made up by mostly yourself, whereas other NPMRs isn't made up by you.
Yes, the laws could definitely be our own making, but like you said they could also be due to a connection with something other than our brain. The dreamworld overlaps our own waking reality, so it may be overlapping another more concrete reality as well.
