Thread: Non-Lucid Theory

To my mind, lucidity is the natural and healthy state in a dream. People lost that natural ability because of the way they began to live their lives. They separated from the nature, from their spiritual nature, as well, gradually began living their lives with as less self-reflection and self-awareness as possible. Most people, including you and I, spend most of their lives functioning just like a robot. Automatic reactions to everything. That's how we live our lives, which is sad. Just consider two simple examples.

One: you meet someone who, unlike most people, when you tell him or her about LD is completely fascinated, or who tells you he or she has already been into it. You immediately give the person a plus. Just can't help it. I know - it's natural. Still one could frankly say to himself 'no, this person is not more clever, more interesting than others, nothing like that. I like him more because we share interests and some general attitudes to life or opinions or whatever. It doesn't say anything about him/ That's all'

An another example: you finally manage to have your first lucid dream, or complete a lucid task, or whatever. You feel satisfaction, gladness. Just can't help it, and try to say to yourself 'I'm not in any degree better now, after I've managed to do this, I'm not in any degree more complete, more fullfilled. All this stuff is just the surface of my being. It doesn't give me any real hapiness, only feeds my ego.' It's hard to be self-conscious like that. In 99 per cent of my time - I frankly cannot.

If we act, think, feel automatically in our lives for most of the time, why should we not be inclined to do the same thing in dreams? Therefore I frankly and sincerely congratulate all those that have a lot of lucid dreams because I believe that lucid dreaming is interrelated with being self-aware in waking life.

What I merely try to prove, is my opinion that to me being lucid should not be considered anything extraordinary. Maybe it will stop to in ten, twenty, fifty years, who knows. We cannot expect the society to treat lucid dreams are something else than wierd and extraordinary, however, if they consider an unconscious, completely 'unlucid', automatic life as something normal...
