Thread: Mother being difficult.

I haven't told anyone from my RL yet, the one person who would probably really like the idea is kind of busy and I doubt he'd be all that focused on it. That's like telling someone they can have all the adventure, women, food, and anything else they want in the world if they can wash a limitless pile of dishes

Some people are just non-believers(or infidels) and will not listen to what you have to say.

You could back it up with every reason possible but they will only hear what they want to hear, and that just so happens to be "Lucid dreaming is not real/weird/a mental problem/etc.".

I think you should at least try once with either scientific backup, book backup, etc.

After that, if she doesnt believe you, theres just no reason to continue trying to convince her.

And yes, i agree with Moose. Fun is basically my reason for Lding and alot of people reasons. Cause it IS fun :3

I don't see a point in convincing her- I've tried telling mine and she was like "lets never speak of this again"- just do your dreaming and don't let anyone bother you.

Just tell her "Mom, you're right. I have control issues. What of it?"

I did. XD I have no problem admitting it. I'm a perfectionist, proud, a little arrogant and controlling girl. (Makes me sound bad, huh? XD) But I also have great things about me, I have a lot of compassion, I'm determined, strong, sweet and many other things And I know LD will help me determine the roots of my deepest and buried problems

I agree. Why even tell her about it at all? How is she going to know what you do in your sleep?

Tell her you are lucid dreaming so you can have sex with any guy you want in your dreams

I would show any doubters the part of EWOLD that answers the doubts about LDing that people commonly have.

Remind the doubters that this book isn't written by some new-age quack with his head in the clouds, but a doctor with a degree in maths.

my mom thought lucid dreaming was a power from satan. Im not even joking here. She started praying for me haha So i just stopped bringing it up. eventually she forgot all about it, or assumed I stopped. You can't convince everyone that its cool sadly. Some people are just going to stay close minded.
