I learned that dreaming could actually have purpose. There was a time when I cursed sleeping because I felt it was wasted time. Now I look forward to exploring my dreams and, ocassionally, molding them into worlds of my creation.

Maybe this sounds silly but when I LD I feel special. Because I am in MY world that I created and I really feel like I can just be me. I feel such an exhiliration from being able to recognize a false awakening and know that when I spring out of bed I'll be in a grand gown and that when I leave my bedroom and glide serenly (for in my dreams I always glide serenly) to the front door and throw it open I will be in a beautiful sunlit garden and a palace will be just beyond that hill. I am Queen of my kingdom and I feel beautiful and I have a special purpose while I'm there. No one can take it away from me and no matter what happens around me if I lost my job, or my freedom, in my sleep, in my dreams my world is there waiting for me on the occasions that I make it. I could use more practice :) And like others of you have said, I feel so proud that my mind can create such a beautiful and detailed place that I feel like there is much more that I can accomplish in my waking world if I put my mind to it. I also remember I think it was in the third Harry Potter film (can't remember if it was in the book) Dumbledore says, "For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own." I've never heard anything more true.
First of all, I started lucid dreaming back in the late 50's--I had no sources--especially from the uniformed--about what it was or what to do. I once thought I was working with my own mind--but if you go far enough, are honest enough, are driven enough, you will might learn things that would scare the hell out of a sane person--untill you understand.
You can become a prophet--however you only know the meaning of that term as taught by the uninformed. In the end you might understand--it is about the future of the mind of man. We are a very young life form--and our minds are rather primitive. Some sources in history, are far more on target. Some sources have potential yet unrealized because man does not yet have the faculties to understand what is written.
Suffice it to say, it is a growing experience for man.
Have you ever considered that religions were formulated by those who never took the trip, many are complete frauds. Source material and certain events may have significance quite different from the myths of the ignorant.
I have taken as my guide, the validity of any source material is directly related to how it is designed to improve the mind. Thus, the Judeo-Christian Scripture rates high, while the works of Einstein low. The works of Euclid high, but non-euclidean geometry very low.
Yes to be honest that what i think for the moment, that it s a pure construction of your subconscious mind. Well that s what the main psychological movement teach us and it is for sure true at least to some extent. I have done a psychotherapie and you can t denied that dream deliver clue about our deep tought about situations and peoples. Also, you can have some great experience by hypnosis, i used to do it on a GF and she was going tought a lot of crazy world and when i asked her about it she answered that it was as real as life. I doubt that anything esoterical happened there honestly, it was a pure construction of her mind.
Now there might be more, i don t know. A member previously posted that he met his girlfriend in a dream before meeting her, this is clearly not a construction of the subconscoius mind.
Hey clearly the human mind have great yet unknown, we can read some pretty crazy story of poeple who have great ability. I remember having read books from mary summer rain who is a indian shaman. There is a post on this forum by a women who talk about meeting your animus and anima.
I hope that it s true, i m looking forward to have my first.
Why are you talking about religion btw, I m far to bee a expert but as far as i know, they don t talk about lucid dream or develloping other capacity in fact, they pretty much scared us about that and urge us not to get involve in it. To be it s seems that they teach a realy down to earth life, kind like eat, pray and work until you died and then you will be granted the gift to join the wonderful real of god.
Btw I read in a remote viewing book that a lot a remote viewers have greater result during lucid dreams than in real life...
Btw, thank for to have answer my questions man.
A tolerance of heights and a check on my ego.
Also, new friends.
