Thread: Lucid Dreaming Friends?

None.

tencharacters

I got all of my friends into it now. Nobody I have told has thought it was crazy. They all think it's cool. But they also are very open minded people. Why would lucid dreaming ever be looked down upon. What makes it appear bad to some people?

I don't really have any friends who I discuss lucid dreaming with. I have told some people about it, but they didn't seem that interested or were a bit skeptical. I have talked about it briefly with my mom before. She told me she has had a few moments in dreams where she became lucid. Other than that, I have nobody in real life to talk to about lucid dreaming. -_-

I have tried to explain it to my friends, but they suck.

Definitely would be cool to know other people IRL that LD...

Nope, my friends wouldn't really understand.

You must be European

Also, I suppose I understand the people who think it is weird. A bit. But what I don't get is the people like my mother, who just don't seem to care. I ask her/them 'doesn't it bother you that you'll never in your life fly? See something truly breathtaking?'

Them: "Nope."

Just a few internet friends that i actively speak about lucid dreaming with. It seems its looked down at in the whole world and thats a shame :/

This forum is the only place.

It's kinda like how I play bass.

I only have two people I can talk to about it, cause everybody thinks "Bass is easy you only have four strings (I have five/six, thank you..) and you're only hitting one note and you're only playing rhythm and you can't even hear it!"

LDing is not as bad as that.

I have had dreaming friends in the past, but not currently. It was really helpful to be able to talk about it and integrate it into my everyday social interactions.

when I first started reading up on it I told my mom and sister, and they thought it was cool. They told a few of our relatives who looked at me like it was crazy new-agey stuff, so I had to explain to them that it has been scientifically studied.
