Thread: Does being lucid stop you from resting.

Actually, I just watched a 7 minutes documentary about sleep/dreams/lucid dreams and it said that the brain was even more active during our sleep than during the day, well, during the REM sleep at least. It said that at that moment, the brain was more active than ever except for the logic part of the brain... So I don't think being lucid makes it so more active...

Hey guys; we'd better respect the Dream Pirate...
That gives me an idea!

What's your idea?

Well me, it's just that the way the seal talked to me about him in my first lucid dream, is that he was the king of dreams and lucid dreams so I had the feeling he is my dream guide and when I become good in lucid dreams I will go find his boat and ask to meet him and give him a present and then he will maybe be my dream guide... I hope

I'd like to manifest the pirate and see if I can't ask him what the person was doing that was so disrespectful, not to question the Pirate's legitimacy; but just to see what kind of answer I get.

I of course will have to get lucid first lol >.<

I know what my brother did that was disrespectful. Actually, it is something that most of us as lucid dreamers experience and I guess its not very fun for us... So ask him and then we can compare. (by the way, I've always picture Dream Pirate as a fat beared man with awesome pirate clothes but I try very much not to picture him at all so my asumptions don't change who he really is...


And about the tibetian dream yoga which buddhists practice is pretty much like beachgirl said. I've read it was about being aware at all time, while we live and when we sleep, when dream or when we are dead because Buddhists believe that death is a bit like dreams. Being aware at all time, especially being able to lucid dream most of the time allows you, when you are dead to be aware that everything you see is an illusion, a bit like a dream and then that way you can decide where you want to be reborn. This is the ulitmate goal of lucid dreaming for Buddhists I guess, but also the fact thet they are in an lucid level of awareness at all time and that is awesome.

I personally try to be aware most of the times. It is hard... and I find meditation boring so it makes it harder I guess...

I will make sure to find out from the Dream Pirate, and I'll let you know how similar he looks to your description.
I have also tried to hold awareness's, it isn't all that easy, whoever said we aren't perfect was spot on lol.
I do actually enjoy meditation, but like I said it comes to me naturally, I was meditating as a child believe it or not.

I am really interested in this Tibetan Dream Yoga... I'll have to look it up.
Sounds like it would be right up my alley of things I like to study.
