Right, hot on the heels of the major success of my last topic ("Should LDing be taught in schools?" - which afterwards I actually thought was a rather crap subject, but you lot obviously thought differently ), here's a couple of questions for you:

How realistic have your LD's actually been?
I mean has anyone had an LD that amazed them to the point of astonishment at the fact that they feel like they are in another world?

I remember waking thinking how amazingly realistic it seemed, but I also remember not acting as I would in reality, because if my brain was working as it would in waking life then I would be so amazed that I would be examining EVERYTHING for hours... which brings me to the second part of this post:

Why do our minds not work to full potential, especially in the logic and memory categories?
I've noticed that with Seeker's Tasks of the Month most people forget to perform his task, whereas if you arranged to, say buy some carrots at lunchtime, then when lunch came you will think to yourself "what did I need to do at lunch?" and then remember to buy carrots. However I never seem able to ask myself "what did I need to do in an LD?" which is exactly what I would do if my mind was as it is in reality. ...Obviously if you don't experience this problem, or have managed to work past it I would like to hear your views.

I had some theories as to how this might be overcome: Perhaps speaking to your appointed Dream Guide and organising a meeting of all the parts of your mind. Where each part of your subconcious (your logic, creativity, reasoning, emotion, fear, anger, memory, etc) was manifested in an actual person each with just that trait. Then you can ask your logic and perhaps memory to help you more, maybe even join you? It will be interesting to see if this helps in reality aswell? It'd be fun also to see what form they take!
