Thread: Lucid Morality Experiment

This morning, i had a lucid dream where i hijacked a car grand theft auto style. it was a dominoes delivery car and i opened the door, punched the Dream character in the face, and pulled him out of the car. I got in and i felt really bad about it because he looked really scared and i can still imagine the look on his face. When i was driving i soon forgot about it but is there anything wrong with that?

also, i was trying to convince a DC that they could fly but she didnt believe me and wouldnt do it? have you ever tried to do that?

Na, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Your free to do anything you want in your own mind. But if you felt bad about punching the guy, maybe next time you don't need to punch him. Just pull him out and take his car.

Yeah, I like to convince DC's their dreaming all the time. I've had so much fun with that. Sometimes it's hard to convince them, But it can be done.
I've had some real fun adventures with Lucid DC's. It gives the illusion of being able to share the experience while it's happening.

Well maybe I am the only sick freak here, but I feel no guilt or sickness when I kill in a dream. I feel more of a relief than anything. But I wouldn't do that if it was IRL, there were no consequences or reasons to feel bad when it is a dream. If it really is a part of me that i am killing when I melt, shatter, throw into a meat grinder, or just beat down a DC then i guess it is an unimportant part of me.

This might be an interesting side note. I have been in karate for about 14 years now. I have a black belt and basically have been trained to kill in defence since i was 3ish. So maybe that has desensitised me or something but killing in a dream doesnt bother me.

I Just never really felt the need to do that in a Lucid. Not much point to it for me. But if that's what you like doing, go to it!

In my experience with killing attackers in non-Lucids though. DC's dont' like to die. No matter how many pieces their in lol.

DC's and dream scenery are your subconcious. In a lucid dream, your are in control and can do anything you want...but what about non-lucids?

In a normal dream..your subconcious is in more control than you are, so you might aswell be nice when you are in control, so that they return the favour eh?

well i have actually not had too many bad regular dreams hehe, I guess i havent made my subconcious angry enough at me. but yeah whenever i go lucid i like to have fun and if a DC even looks at me weird, and they do often for some strange reason, then i kill em lol. it is almost like a game since they are not real.
but who knows maybe i will be on here in a month with a mental breakdown and unable to sleep b/c my dreams are trying to kill me all the time.

Oh lol i forgot, I have only every now and then in my life had a dream where i had no control at all, almost every time i dream i know i am dreaming and i have complete control over myself and if i really think about it i can control the surroundings. But that isnt fully lucid, those are still kinda rare for me, but i am getting there.

morality in a dream is like morality in playing a game

a lot of us can kill a monster

we can kill a bad guy

we can hunt

kill aliens and so on

give us a game where we kill new borns with your characters bare hands, and you'll have an uproar. even in games, there is a limit as to what some people find 'fun violence' and to when something is just sick, disgusting and demotes 'morality'

its different from person to person, and depends on your personal limit of what you feel is an immoral fantasy

but I think dreams like this are very revealing about you. can you murder your own mother and feel nothing? or will you be guilt ridden?

I once had a dream where the DCs explained to me, that what I do in a dream reflects my desires and actions and emotions in the real world. With that in mind, I choose differently in that dream, choosing to not leave my family behind when a monster attacks. even when I knew the monster or my family wasn't real. because I felt, it all reflected me in the most basic sense. am I the type of person to forsake my family? I didn't want to be that person.
