Thread: Skeptical Newb

There is nothing to be skeptical about. Lucid dreaming has been proven. Specifically, when you're dreaming, and you move your eyes, your eyes move in real life too. They've proven lucid dreaming by telling supposed lucid dreamers to move their eyes in a specific way once they become lucid. They then detect that the person is dreaming, and that his or her eyes are moving in the predesignated way.

Unless it happens to come very easily to you, lucid dreaming is something you'll have to dedicate time to, and for reasons others have said, you'll need to go beyond having 'a couple' lucid dreams to experience fully how amazing they can be. I personally have yet to do this. I used to lucid dream a lot, but I could never stay in one for more than a few seconds. I've now been trying for about 3 weeks and have only succeeded in having 2 very short and vague ones so far. If you're expecting immediate gratification, I imagine you might get bored after a few days and forget about it.

Ok, I guess skeptical would be the wrong word choice. I am more worried that I won't be able to achieve lucidity even with a lot of time and effort.

But, does anyone have the answers to my two questions that I posted?
