The human mind has far greater potential than society has conditioned you to believe.
Doesn't it stand to reason that if you act out an immoral act in your dreams that you have at some point thought about this act while your awake or in a daydream? |
|
In a non-lucid dream, you are at the will of your subconcious. In a lucid dream, your conciousness is in control and therefore in my opinion, morality applies. |

It never occurrs to me to act any differently than I would in real life, but then most of the dreams where I realize I'm dreaming are in very realistic settings, with the people I don't know IRL still seeming somehow familiar. It may be that I just haven't had the chance, and as my ability increases, so will my options. I still don't see where I'd do anything I wouldn't do normally in regards to violence. Defense, yes. Malicious, no. As for morality, I have seemed to maintain my waking standards. |

Good for you Rev! |

It's your dream, nobody is going to get hurt for real. Go wild, laws, morality, and the like do not apply in your dreams. If you let yourself be governed by all this in your own *mind*, you might as well be a sheep. Maintain your own freedom in your dreams, at least. -my opinon (no angsty goverment-are-evil shit intended) |

I was just thinking, if you do something in your lucid dreams which you would NEVER do while you are awake, wouldnt it be easier to do when awake, now that uve done it. |

Violent video games make it easier to kill things, etc, because you're used to killing. But we don't ban them because they're well, imaginary. Dreams are just more vivid, on the same level you could call them a game really. You can turn them off. They don't really have consequences outside of the game/dream. Should we ban games, too? And dreams? I mean it's just your brain at the end of the day, go wild in your dreams. Or should you not crack and go wild in your dreams, and instead crack and go wild in real life, causing real hurt? |

Ultimately, it's about what is right and wrong. |

IMO, the test of someone's true character is what they do when no one is watching or around, when there's no one to find out what happened. If you care about your character, you will take this into consideration. If you don't, then you won't. |

A lot of the stuff I read, Castaneda, Ruiz (4 Agreements), among others, all lead me to believe the line between the real world & your dream world becomes more arbitrary as you become more & more proficient. I wouldn't want to one day find myself able to exist in another world, only to have it littered with my victims. |

There's good and evil in each individual fire
identifies needs and feeds our desires

When dreaming, I try to avoid doing anything that distresses a dream character, unless in self defense. This includes things like attacking, raping, bullying, etc. There are two reasons I have for this. The first has been brought up already: I feel that it's just wrong. To some extent, I think habits developed while dreaming to cross over into the real world. The second reason is that seeing others in distress causes me to feel the same way, particularly in dreams. In waking life, I'm rather empathetic, but in dreams, all the characters are really a part of me, so the feeling is amplified. In the end, hurting dream characters is just hurting myself. |

I'm one who believes that what you do in LDs (or even just dreaming in general) makes it easier for you to do those things in real life. After a while I think a person could possibly be convinced that they are dreaming while in reality, and do things that they normally wouldn't. I know a lot of people have had dreams and done RCs and been sure that they are awake, and there are always 2 sides to any coin... |

Yes in my only induced lucid dream, I shot somebody. I'm no psychopath or killer in real life, but in my dream I would enjoy just killing the people I hate. I wouldn't tell them "why" I killed them, no discussion, just BAM shoot 'em right in the face. There are kids in my school whom I hate very much. |

I put no but now that I thought about it some, maybe I should of put yes. I never even thought of the little stuff I some times do because they don't seem important. I wouldn't say I am evil in dreams but clearly I can some times be rude. Of course I would only be acting rude if it was in real life, as a dream character doesn't care what I do. |

I dont do anything violent or immoral in my LDs because i feel that it is another reality, my own reality. I always treat my DCs like they're real people, because how do i know that they arent real in their own world? Again, personal acceptance of moral/immoral actions applies. My dreams are always in the same "world". I've never had a dream that completely goes against everything in a previous dream, and i often see the same people in my dreams. DC are reccuring in my dreams and some of them have a bad temper and i end up defending myself against an attack, but that's in self defence. Again, do what you feel is right, i'm going to keep my 2nd reality a peacefull one. |
