Haven't LD yet, just a question before I start

I have never lucid dreamed before or even tried to but I have dream journaled on and off for 4 years, since I was in eighth grade. I have heard spiritual people advise against it but I think that after trying it I should probably know whether it is right or not. I already feel significantly in tune with what my dreams are communicating.

However, a friend of mine, who made me think to try this, mentioned something about an experience that some people have where, in a lucid dream, they find a figure behind a door that tells them to go back to sleep. I would just like to see some articles, discussions, or your personal thoughts on this.

Sorry if my friend misinformed me. I tried doing google searches and searches here for threads on the subject but didn't know where to start with keywords.

I wouldn't doubt, I mean I've heard of people hearing voices tellling them they are dreaming, thus inducing LDs so I don't see why some people may see a guy who says the opposite.

I haven't ever heard of that, specifically. When lucid, you run into all sorts of bizarre characters. Talking to people in lucid dreams can be amazingly interesting.

Every spiritual person I've ever met has encouraged dreaming as a way of getting in touch with ourselves. We must have very different friends :P

Don't listen to them. Lucid dreaming is just dreaming with consciousness. Those people are just jealous because they can't lucid dream. :P

Alright, Loaf :cheeky:
Thanks Markie and Robot Butler. Now just to have a lucid dream.
