Nice...
me too, sorta. Not really, but we really believed in magic and we wanted to find out about the magic world. We even drank an inisibility potion my friend found on a website. I don't know what he put in it but I wanted to vomit (which i didn't or else we wouldn't have become invisible... which we didnt)

Invisibility potion? Really?

lol. As I said, I was a desperate case.

I had lots of Hallucinations after waking up when I was young and when this started to leave me, I had the experience of seeing a ghost which looked very real. Some other hapenings made me believe in magic at that time but the lack of these events made me stop believing in them a long time ago, when I was still a kid which i still am (15).

An invisibility potion? Really? The closest me and my friends got to supernatural stuff was hypnosis. I almost convinced my friend that she liked hamburgers.

You were WHIPPED for playing video games? o.0

You guys have really harsh parents. Mine are pretty laid back about most things. They know that I lucid dream and they don't mind it at all. Granted, they aren't particularly interested, but every now and then my mom will ask me about my dreams. They're also really strict about other things, like the internet... My dad is seriously way too paranoid.

I find that people don't mind if you talk about your dreams as long as you keep it brief and it's either entertaining in some way or it relates to whatever conversation you were having before.

When I first discovered LDing I told my friend about it. She thought it was really cool, but she never got into it the way that I did. I even forced her to do a WBTB once and she had a lucid dream, but she still wasn't that interested. I learned that one of my other friends has spontaneous lucids after she brought up a dream she had, but when I told her that you could induce lucid dreams she didn't seem very interested. Then my other other friend is a natural LDer, and ironically she's more interested in NL dreams than lucid ones. She thinks they're more exciting when you don't know that it's real. We talk about our dreams every now and then, though, and she doesn't mind if I talk about LDing.

So yeah, I know four people (my mom's had a lucid dream) who have had lucid dreams but aren't overly interested in them. I really don't understand.

wow I think the main cause behind this is that many people are from the US or other religious country thus the "demon/hellfear"

When I told my mom she thought I was insane or something, we didn't talk about it anymore after that so I think she forgot about it or thinks I've forgotten about it. Since my DJ's are paper copybooks they lie in plain sight in my room - the fact that my handwriting is usually discernible only to me also helps also

Haven't told my dad, though he knows all about buddhism/ all the yogas including dream yoga so he should know about it still he's so overprotective (yeah weird cause usually the mom is the overprotective figure in most families) that I'm sure he'd find a reason for me to stop.


Also told some of my friends- most just thought I was crazy.

I stopped talking to ppl about this except online.

LOL way to get banned.

I would wake up and see things, normally animals. They would come out from everywhere. I would especially get spiders all over me when I woke up so I would run to the hallway where cats and other small mammels would come from behind the walls or out of slippers and things like that. I would run along the hallway as the animals came out from places. I would then enter my room and ask my parents to follow me back to my room. As we came back, all the animals and spiders would hide or already be hidden. I'd be able to go back to sleep without spiders crawling over me. It wasn't SP at all.

Isn't USA one of the less religious countries? Or is it just Canadians?
