Thread: I thought it might be interesting to ask

I´d say my motivation for LD-skills lies in the possibilities to reach others beyond the borders wich our bodies constitutes. How many times haven´t I felt the total powerlessness and melancholy in being trapped in a certain body, in a certain position in society as well as the social networks that´s out of my reach? How many times haven´t I been longing for spending time with a special person untouched by all the physical and social laws that rule pour lives? I want to experience and love with people I care about beyond what´s possible in my ordinary life, giving the term soulmates a rightousness.

i wanted to get away from this savage world that shows no mercy...a place of peace is what i seek

I find dreams fascinating. Mine are usually so vivid and I always feel like there's some significance to them, even if it's not the whole "dream interpretation" kind of thing. The whole topic really interests me and you can have some pretty amazing experiences during lucid dreams.

It's a fairly unique and interesting ability. I'm scared that I am using it to have closure on the one girl I've never had, because she would never allow me to have that. Now she's the girl of my dreams in more than one way. I also hope to create a mental sanctuary to help combat panic attacks and stage anxiety. This way, falling asleep is more of a pleasure than a task.

If you don't mind me asking, was falling asleep a task beforehand? Was it difficult to do, I mean? I ask because sometimes I find that difficult, and have general issues with anxiety too, I guess, which mental self-discipline seems to keep at bay. Part of what I'd like to do is to master my own sleep, and investigating dream recall, focussing on sleep, Lucid Dreaming seems a good way to start going about that.

I'll admit to suffering from Emetophobia. And for some reason as a child I believed that people got sick right before they went to sleep. Hence, my fear of night. I'm a performer, so this transferred to my panic attacks during concerts - which is always wonderful. Then my interest in lucid dreaming came around and a lot less time was spent laying in bed worrying about not getting sick. I've only just begun with lucidity, so I can't say it's helped the performance aspect much, but hopefully there is more to come with that. Both aspects of LD'ing and Astral Traveling focuses inward, which strengthens my mind. Through training, and growing, one day I hope to rid myself of these foolish time wasters and live life!
