Thanks . People respond differently when they see it on paper than in person. When I tell them in person they think im crazy. I just thought this would get more people to discover lucid dreaming

That would be amazing. I made a bracelet that said 'Lucid Dream' so that I could encourage myself to keep going because I was in the process of lucid dreaming and all my friends asked me what 'Lucid Dream' meant. When I explained it to them they thought it was cool. One of my friends said "I want to try that".

But on the other hand, I think that if everybody knew about it, it wouldn't be as fun and unique.

yeah some friends think it is cool, and most think it is weird. I agree with you, but if everyone knew about it then you could discuss it more and talk about it all the time

True. True. I don't really have anybody close to talk about lucid dreaming with so that would be nice.

Sounds like a fun idea to mess with peoples heads.

*grabs banana, sees note*
"What the fuck?"

Of course some people, like my mom, even after researching will just think that it was some potheads rolling paper that they dropped.

I told my friends as well. I got a bunch of pessimists for friends
Only one friend I told actually went out and tried a FILD, and ended up getting so spooked by sleep paralysis, he couldn't sleep for 4 days...
I guess they're cowards too, who don't see the bright side of the night.

But hopefully, other people in the world will be inspired to explore the mind, and the land of dreams.

So you just want to keep LDing a secret... That isn't fair everyone atleast deserves a chance to know what it is.

PS i'm going to try this. Maybe at school... I am going to write it in the bathroom stall so people can see it.

I feel the exact same way! It would be cool for people to like LDing more, but I also like having this unique hobby, along with this other unique hobby. I like being unique, but it would also be great for more people to like it.

IDK.

I guess everybody does deserve a chance but....I like how it's a unique hobby. It's hard to explain.

What she said.

I definitely agree with those saying its nice to have a unique hobby. I tell people about it and most are really interested and ask heaps of questions, and even though I'm not particularly good at it compared to some at DV, people I tell think I'm some kind of pro

If everyone knew about LDing I think it would no longer be considered special, which I think is a large part of its attraction.

Agree to these.

@bradysdreaming umm, LDing isn't a secret, anyone can find out about it where they google dreams or hear some documentary, read something, etc.... Gotta remember we weren't told about it, but, we found it so I'm sure some will find it on their own

I dunno...
Its kind of fun to be part of something thats not so mainstream. I want people to know... but for lucid dreaming to be generically known globally... seems kinda boring.

I kinda agree with what you guys are saying about it being unique, but if everyone knew about it then I would probably be much better at LDing than I am now. It would be cool to have grown up lucid dreaming, but at the same time it would make it seem less special because I'd probably take it for granted.

I didn't even read the rest of the posts, and I am amazed everyone else sorta feels the same way.

Yep...and teh government is going to take advantage of it...

One time I wrote graffiti on my desk. I ended up having a little conversation with someone else.

Me: Are you dreaming?
Person: No, are you dreaming?
Me: www.dreamviews.com/community
Person: I'll look into it...

I don't remember how exactly it went but it went over the course of a couple of days to sort of PM each other on a desk. Sometimes I wonder if that person is lurking about somewhere here.

Maybe if we could drop some notes saying like "Come and join our growing membership at dreamviews.com". If we make it sound something like a lot of people are eager to come here, they're more likely to come here themselves.

I want it to be mainstream, who cares if it isn't a special ability, you can make it special in your own, unique way after all!

I'd have no problem with it being mainstream. You'd have more chances to talk about it, at least.

I'll leave notes in the grocery store underneath the bannanas... Lol

Alternatively, leave notes on the bananas.

Well non-lucid dreams are highly mainstream, and as a result people don't talk about them often because for many they aren't anything special or interesting.

Yeah, but a lot of non-lucids tend to be... not interesting or too crazy and lack control, not to mention that the mainstream idea is that dreams have no meaning and you don't dream daily, so people just naturally forget them and grow up with the idea that it is meaningless, don't think that would be the case for LD though, considering how important recall is for it, that you can do anything you want without consequences, and your limited by your imagination only. Only problem is getting that into people <.<

i've been lucid dreaming for over a year now and to this day i'm still blown away by the reality of lucid dreaming, its truly quite remarkable. its just such an amazing concept. the fact that every single human being has the ability to take control of another plane of existence and do absolutely anything you can imagine. i don't understand why some people don't care for it or aren't interested in it.

LUCID DREAMING IS FREAKING AMAZING!

It's not a secret but alot of people don't know about it. That is why we should leave notes.
