My dad thinks that its a waste of time. Though he doesn't have (read: remember) dreams. Do any of you know of an article on lucid dreaming published in a major scientific journal?

My mom knew what it was...she started talking about REM and stuff like that, she didn't say "I'm crazy". My friends are interested, I bought them both copies of EWLD as well..

Almost all of my friends think it's kinda cool, and a couple of them are even naturals.

Hell Yes Oneironaught thats the kind of quick action that we need ^_^

Wow Oneironaught, thats some useful stuff, don't worry about it tekkendreams, parents are never understanding about alot of things, they will always look down at you, especially at a young age. Don't let it worry you, its you who is having all the fun after all eh!

Lol, my parents think its "interesting" and clump it together with horoscopes and astrology I think (not their cup of tea). I think my boyfriend just regards it an awful lot of effort spent on sleeping. He's very much grounded in the practical and reality

Such is the reason for forums and the internet I say!

I told my dad, he thinks its cool. Told my mom, she told me to go take nyquil and lay down.

Your so lucky, my parents were open to it at first but now whenever i talk about it and try to make a conversation out of it they seem to shift the conversation, i've given up trying with them. Lucid dreaming is an awesome thing, its not my fault if they are not interested.

dont worry about other people. lucid dreaming is all about advancing the individual; improving yourself. if people aren't open about it then dont waste your time trying to preach.
