Y'know...I was half tempted to mention your thread Mario...

Not a problem for me. My father is the one that turned me on to LD.

That's pretty awesome. I think it would be cool to teach my theoretical kids (a looong time from now) how to LD since they're little. They'd probably get really good that way.

You are a rapist for christ's sake >: |

My dad actully told me a few days ago that he has lucid dreams sometimes... It's usually him finding a big treasure chest filled with money and then realizing he is dreaming. It made me laugh pretty hard.

Yeah! kids are more perceptive, and pick up on things and get real good at it while young. They won't have to struggle with it later in life. LD's come easy for me, I think partly because my father showed me when I was young.

Why do you think half of us are at this forum? Not only to talk about lucid dreaming and understand how to lucid dream... but to have people that are the same. I can't really talk to any of my friends about this stuff because they will just think I'm insane... So I come and talk to everyone here

Not really true for me, I use this forum because its the only place I can go where I can blabber on about dreams and people will give me their attention. My family gets bored of me talking about my dreams and such.
You make it sound like the people here are seeking some sort of acceptance for enjoying dreams and pushing them to their full extent. Not everyone buys into the psychic aspect of dreams. For me, mostly, dreams are just a world in my head. If not, there are some really crappy parallel universes out there.

Didn't say that everyone was the same as me. I love hearing how people dream and learning how to control it. I also like how the whole community here will listen to my opinions about something people in my everyday life haven't really payed much attention to before.

When I first mentioned the whole concept I was asked if it was "a bit evil" or something.

But over time they came to understand it a little better.

Damn you hit on something there lol. Most of us aren't newbies to this and we don't (usually) need answers from other people, we can look them up ourselves, or figure it out. Ha

Everybody needs someone to relate to. Just the other day I found out my best friend was into lucid dreaming, and for years neither of us knew the other did it. I was really funny. I was all like "no shit man that's tight" and we talked about it forever and shared stories and shit WOO!

The forum is nice

I'm so jealous!

As am I.... But oh well... I don't need to have my friends believe me... That is what everyone in this community is for

I told my friend about it. She didn't mind at all (at least I don't think she does). And why should she?
She puts up with me sharing my dreams too.

If you have a group of friends that aren't douche bags, you should introduce them to it.

Exactly.

Yea I've thought about that, but as soon as they start failing and can't get a lucid, they would prolly be like "Liar!" .. Hah..

And damn Loaf! I see your jet dreams have raised to a count of 5?

Well, the last two weren't exactly crashing jets.
One of the dreams was viewing the wrecked cabin of a plane in a warehouse, and another was trying to board a plane but a bomb went off.

o.o I was just thinking today about how I really want to play DDR...

Hahaha, that's great!

My mom (who has trouble sleeping) had a dream where she was getting a good night's sleep, and she became lucid.

Well, I didn't share any news with anyone. If I were to tell my parents that I LD, they would simply call me names and tell me that this is violating human nature and I will surely benefit nothing from it. My parents are old-fashioned, mother is a die-hard fan of Jesus and Church, father is a type of a person who doesn't believe in anything supernatural, cept Jesus of course. They have already been looking down on me, since I declared my rebel against church and stuff. Therefore, I think sooner or later they would call LDing as devil worship or something.
The only good thing is that I don't live with them.
God bless freedom haha

BTW. LDing is ultra cool

I don't blame parents for being concerned, or for pinning some of the LD results on the supernatural - especially the 'voices' occurrences. If they're stubborn about it, you can't freaking blame them, this is WIERD ASS stuff.

Your parents have their belief.
Its their job to worry.
Just don't bitch about it.
