I don't really tell my parents about anything I do including lding because I think my dad would be too close minded and my mom would take it as a chance to "get to know me".

Ah.. now that's kinda sad. If given the chance, maybe you and your mom could bond over LDing.

Trust me Clarity, my mom seizes every chance to ask questions about my life at school and tries to change me at every corner. I find it extremely annoying. I don't want to change. I just like being myself in my own mind free from people questioning my unique and serious ambitions and ideals. I don't know how to explain my feelings about this subject very well.

Oh.. sorry. When you said that she was trying to get to know you, I thought she was trying to understand you so that she could share your interests, etc. and get closer to you.. I didn't realize that she was trying to change you.

No, I haven't told them yet, but I'm going to if I want to get a copy of EWLD. Which I might be getting this week, if the book store has a copy.

My dad actually asked me how my lucid dreaming was going which was surprising and i said fine and he ended up laughing at me about it after a conversation about dreaming. I hate the guy.

I have expressed alot of interest about it with my family, my parents view it as cool but nothing special because i don't think they can grasp the idea really, but my sister who is very creative and a musician has expressed interest in it and finds the idea very neat!

My family are niether concernerd or interested, my mate who i got into it is a Sikh and his mum already does it to some extent, shes from india, and it is understood to be enlightment over there just like in tibet, so shes actually really happy her sons getting into it. i wish my family were like that about it

Everyone who I regularly see in my family tries to change me except my siblings. Including my step dad and step mom. I think of it as my own personal hell. Don't get the wrong idea though, I'm not a depressed person.

I haven't told my parents bout lucid dreaming but I have shared it with some friends. I did tell my brother but he didn't believe me (I sorto feel sorry for him).
