Thread: I don't understand lucid dreaming.

Hi,

If you just daydream or visualise, yes it's nice, but it can't compare to Lucid dreaming. A LD is a dream in which you know you are dreaming, that's all. When you realise that you are dreaming, you can take controll of your dream.

Imagine this: You are now reading this post, then suddenly you see a purple unicorn come into the room. You start thinking about it and decide that something like this doesn't happen very often. At that exact moment you remember the waking world and realise that you're dreaming. If you can stay calm you won't wake up. And if you can keep your dream stable, you can take control of it. You can do anything you like. This can't compare to visualisation because it looks exactly like the waking world. If you move your hand, you'll se your hand move, if you create a ball of fire, a ball of fire will (should) appear in front of your eyes.
It's like directly experiencing the visualisations coming from your conscious and unconscious mind.

Lucid dreams can't really be explaned. They are so different than anything you've ever imagined or probably experienced. In short LDing is something you should experience at least once in your life. It's that awesome. And you can also fly.

So, good luck if you decide to try it out! Hope I helped.
