Hi there.

I found you guys by surfing around and found this picture with a lot of "life-hacks" and there was one: "drink tons of apple juice before you go to bed. A chemical compound in the juice will help you have vivid awesome dreams"
As English is not my native language, I looked up the word Vivid, to see the exact meaning / translation. I also typed it into Google, and found this website :-)

I was reading a lot of interesting stuff here, and I will try the show techniques and methods...

One question came in my mind, right from the beginning, I couldn’t really find an answer to that (except for this thread /general-lucid-discussion/102671-possible-dangers-lucid-dreaming.html , which didn’t answer my question)

Isn't the purpose of sleeping to recover from the day, relax, and process or handle the stuff you experienced during the day, as some kind of balance? If you "control your dreams", your mind doesn’t really stop working (ok, it also doesn't if you sleep and dream "normally")

Did you find the sleep more relaxing, or is it more exhausting, if you are having fun in your dreams?

Hope to read your experiences. Maybe I have a wrong view to this whole thing :-)

Cheers
Lubili
