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

**FreeOne** · 07-10-2007 11:49 PM

you should have made a poll.

oh and i would say yes

**Nefarious** · 07-10-2007 11:56 PM

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

**iruka2998** · 07-11-2007 11:28 AM

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.
