Thread: I do not want to LD...

I think I do get where you're coming from. But I can't say that I share the same view ^^ I just think I love lucid dreams for the same reason as many many others. A world where you can do absolutely everything you want, your imagination literally being the only limit, with not concequences whatsoever.

But yes, sometimes I do think it's nice just to stay back and watch a normal dream They can be quite interesting too, hehe. Although I must admit that I do prefer the lucid kind more

The same here, I know what you mean. The problem with both of us is that we don't have an urge to LD that's driven by excitement of being "powerful" in an imaginary world. Such an urge is strong and keeps others motivated for quite a long, if not for unlimited time. If you don't have it you need something else to replace it. Judging by what you're written, you didn't find anything else to replace it with, so now you can't see any reason to LD.

But you've posted here, that means that you do want to LD in general, the concept is exciting for you in general, you only don't know what you want it for. Find a purpose for yourself, it's necessary in order to want strongly. Posting in this forum will hardly be enough, most people here already have a purpose that I mentioned above, and it won't just get transferred to you if you're not interested in it. Please think of things that you are interested in, your hobbies or desires, and how you could possibly connect LDing to them and how you could apply it for something that you find interesting.

Am i the only one who wants dreams to remain dreams? A place where you are totally not in control of your life and where the most wonderfull and terrible things can happen?

I think I know what you mean and where it comes from. I feel the same about sleep in general, although I'm working at total removal of this attitude. It's just escapism, a wish to cease to exist in a cheating manner, without actually dying The roots of it are probably in RL, you may be discontent with something in life and wish for a better place or for rest. In such a mood LDing becomes a nuisance.
