Would You Consider LDing A Hobby?

I was just wondering if you would call LDing a hobby.

well, thefreedictionary.com defines a hobby as "An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure" so that would make it a yes. Even without using a dictionary definition I would say that it fits the general usage.

I would, yes.

While it's hardly a conventional hobby, such a playing an instrument or running, it's still a nice thing to so in your free time, which is what a bobby essentially is.

You bet

you should have made a poll. :)

oh and i would say yes

Yes I would.

I really enjoy my normal dreams too wish I could make a movie out of them ;)

I.. don't really know. To me LD's are more of learning experiences. :)

Well, Music is normally considered a Hobie. But most serious musicians wouldn't think of it that way. Lucid Dreaming is probably the same way.

definitely

yup

When I tell people about my investigations into LDing it tends to sound like a hobby, so I reckon in certainly is. Calling it such also makes it sound more like a light hearted curiousness than an altering of consciousness, a concept commonly attached to illegal drugs.

Not that it matters. Those who think LDing wrecks or negatively alters your body function are ignorant anyway :)

Its not your average hobby but i'd class it as one, definately my favourite hobby, it uses my night time and i learn loads throughout the day :)

Nah, I wouldn't call it a hobby, but it is a good way to use your time asleep... Well actually, guess it could be, the act of learning about it, meditating, etc....

I'd put it as a hobby. It falls into the category of things I get terribly interested in and entertain myself with and annoy the hell out those around me by not shutting up about it. Though, it's not as tangible of a hobby as say, yo-yo.

hobby .. obsession. :smitten:

You say poh-tay-to .. I say poh-tah-to. :bigteeth:
