What your friend says is completely false. Nothing can happen to you in real life while you are dreaming. Yes, it could be considered another reality, but it doesn't move you away from reality....so don't worry!
Thanks for the meeting ..Amm... what about the paralyses.. what should i do ?? :?
Hey there CoRteZ, and welcome!
I think your friend may be partially right -- if you get good at lucid dreaming, then real life may not seem as exciting a lot of the time. But I hardly think this is dangerous. Besides, even the best dreams can't compare to the best moments in real life, simply because you know that one is real and one isn't.
I'm curious, does your friend have any experience with lucid dreaming? I'm just wondering why he would want to discourage you from exploring it by scaring you into thinking that it would put you in some kind of danger..
Well.. i don't care ... i was dreaming for this from years.. and now i w'ont lose this opportunity to make my dream reality :lol: :lol: Hope soon i will have 1st LD.. :wink:
Hey Cortez. Welcome to the forum. 8)
I want to start by saying what your friend said Is Partially right, as was stated.
BUT, you have to take it that this is possible with Any hobby. Whether you're a movie buff, or spend all your free time on video games, you have to maintain your own difference between reality and hobby. It is possible for anyone to get consumed in something they find exciting, but this is no reason for anyone to discourage you from doing it. I think your friend is wrong in saying it is 'dangerous,' but I guess it is always necessary to caution someone that gets into something This intriguing, that you should not let it interfere with your normal life.
That said, Good Luck! :okbyenow:

LD: lucid dream
I wouldn't even say it was partially true. Lucid dreaming is more than worthwhile, but lucid dreams become boring to a certain degree. Having an LD is VERY exciting, but I once had one that lasted a few months in dream time, and it got pretty boring near the end, and I wound up waking myself up. It was the most successful LD I ever had, and it was something I'll always remember and enjoy, but dreams are just fun if they're semi-short and somewhat sparce. It's like hearing a favorite song on the radio--If you hear it every day, or put it on repeat for an hour, it won't be as special and interesting as if you just heard it for the first time in a month. And dreams aren't even comparable to real life. Both are fun, but they are also symbiotic in a way. Dreams are fun because they're different, as is waking life. Both together are better than one or the other exclusively, regardless of which one. There is absolutely NO danger of getting too involved in LDing. If you start having too many and focusing on them too much, to the point you sleep more than you're awake, you'll just stop having fun with the dreams...they lose the fun aspect and you'll have no reason to sleep as much anymore. It's sort of a failsafe. Similarly, if you go too long without a good dream, chances are an interesting one will popup soon, and if you're lucky, a lucid one. It has a tendency to balance itself out, removing the danger of overdoing one of the two.
But Tsen, you are assuming that everyone follows the same logic, when they don't. What would seem completely rational to you and I, doesn't always click in the minds of the masses, and I think it would be a little neglectful for us to not consider that. People become obsessed with the most mundane things, things that you'd look at and say "...and the fun in that is Where?" I do agree that too much immersion (word?) in anything will ultimately lead to boredom, but that is Me, and that is You, but its assumptuous to say that everyone else feels that way, and that Lucid Dreaming doesn't have the potential to become an obsession to anyone. It is hardly something even worth bringing up if you think the person you're talking to has any sort of intelligence.....But how conscious would it be to assume that Everyone has had enough exposure to that little life lesson to render mentioning it completely useless?
I guess you've got a point. Still, I'd think it's hardly a threat to the average person
Hello CoRteZ
Don't be afraid of anything about lucid dreaming. Get into it and follow that inspiration that brought you here. He who is afraid to make a step forward is just going to stay in one place. Boring.
I'd rather take the wrong road, end up in hell, then turn it into heaven. Than be afraid to make the journey at all. What do you think is more satisfiying. Progress or stagnating in one place because of fear. As a matter of fact strive to conquer all fear. Use all your wisdom knowledge and follow your heart.
