I wouldn't worry about it too much. After all, what can they do to stop you? Their minds are obviously made up already, just keep LDing to yourself. |

I dont live with my parents but I visit them a lot and I have told them about my sleep paralysis. My step dad has the same thing but he is very religious so he thinks the devil is coming to get him. He has dreams of being engulfed in flames on his bed and he cant move or do anything about it. He swears that he saw lucifer and he has done everything from holy water to roseries to you name it. When I was a junior in high school which is eleven years ago I was into the pagen religion more so for research then anything. So now it doesnt help my arguement much that it isnt related to wiccan magic. |

I have never discussed it with my parents. They are religious, but I don't think they would think lucid dreaming is demonic or whatever. They would just probably tell me that its crazy talk haha. The only person I've really talked about it with is my sister, who was the one who actually told me about lucid dreaming in the first place. One in awhile I'd ask her for advice because she use to LD every night.. but now I can't really talk to her about it anymore because she never practices it anymore. Sometimes I try to tell my friends about it and they think its just crazy.. I also hide my dream journal from everyone, I don't know why, I guess I just don't want them to think I'm weird or get the wrong idea or something. |

I dream a lot, need not be asleep.
Ahh, religion you know how it goes |

Days with LD's 4 | WILD'S - 2 | DILD'S - 2
My parents think I'm crazy anyway so they don't hold too much of anything I do. Maybe I am actually. They think anything I say is another one of my fantasies so they just leave me be. I gave up try to explain anything I think of or do to them (including LDing) because I know they'd never see it the way I do anyway. So whatever. |

first of all witch-craft or a more correct therm shamanism is by no means evil,witches(the old real ones,that are in the past) and shamans are/were often very peaceful people that healed their tribe-members and tried to communicate with spirits for the better of the tribe,they often gave the tribe a sense of unity as a tribe and in touch with nature and of course spirituality |

Luckily most of my friends have no religious affiliation. My christian friends do not believe dreams are signals and I have mastered the approach, so nobody thinks im a nutjob. |
|
Parents also think that playing Dungeons and Dragons is evil, that Harry Potter is filled with secrets on how to contact the devil, and that smoking marijuana will cause you to become violently enraged and murder all of your loved ones. |
|
I haven't said anything to my parents about LDing and i don't want to. |

They're all nuts. Nothing occult about lucid dreaming at all. |

It's so enjoyable to read about parents worrying that you'll be possesed, or come in contact with the devil. Dreams are after all only made up by our own sub-consciousness, so who could you be possesed by? Yourself? |

I am fair and square, loud and clear. Yet, you associate me with fear.
Laugh of joy, or shed a tear.. You'll find no mercy here!
Though I sound bad, you hold me dear. I'm your satisfaction's engineer!
What am I?
im 14 and i was always the "different" one of the family from doing the strange things like yoyoing, speed cubing, and LDing to name a few. i never talk about lucid dreaming to my family, i briefly told my sister, she thought it was BS. my parents arent religious but i dont think they would care, one of my best friends is really smart and opened minded so i talk to him about dreams and my lucid attempts and after i told him he thought it was cool. after that i promised him, that the first chance i get, im going to have a HUGE fight with him in my lucid dream then tell him about it. its one of my goals and at the top of my list |
|
Dream Goals:
1.Have an induced LD.[X]
2.Fly[X]
3.Jump off a skyscraper[]
4.Do a Kamehameha[X]
5.Have a HUGE, EPIC battle with a lot of explosions with my best friend.[]
I don't bother telling my parents, but they'd probably just think it's weird. My whole family is deeply religious (including me) but my mom is a doctor and my dad a cop, and we all know the difference between science and religion. |
|
My parents don't really care much about it, I toldthem about it once or twice. My dad was genuinly interested in it and my mom is just sorta "ah that's nice..." lol |

OMG A T-REX
yeah. i love to read fantasy and draw and stuff like that, and my grams and aunt think im' trying to escape ' so if i told my aunt, she'd roll her eyes at me and say 'thats stupid why would you do that?' or ' its not possiblle it s a load of bull' but what can you do right? You cant stop me or any of us. But she would tell my grams and dad and im afraid they'll judge me. Im only really close to my brother, who is intrested in the subject.(but i havent told him ive joined this site or anything.) |

My goals
[] have one intentional lucid dream...
[] duel Voldemort
[] Fly(broomstick?)
[] catch a pokemon (how about a Charizard? Vulpix?)
[] meet Jace Wayland
My parents are fascinated by the idea - and we are Christians. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

i wish parents would be openminded and listen- they don't really give you a chance sometimes. they can be so biased. |
