Hey, I've been lurking this site on and off for a couple years now, and it seems like all the cool stuff such as shared dreams sometimes involve "past life" experiences. I know this whole thing is about keeping an open mind, but I don't really believe in all this past life stuff. I'm Catholic, and I'd like to maintain my religious views. Is it possible to do all this without changing my beliefs? |
|
Yes. |

If you're afraid to encounter someone else's belief, you're afraid it might reveal your own as un-true. If you believe that your beliefs are the absolute truth, then you wouldn't be afraid of encountering another belief system. |
|
I think sometimes people can make either too little or too much of Lucid Dreaming. It can be a helpful aid to getting the most out of life, it can open your eyes to the reality of things, or it can be just for fun, if you so choose. |
|
You can LD without compromising your religious beliefs; I've had several lucids, and I maintain that shared dreams and OOBEs are complete and utter BS. |

The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim
Goals:
10 Lucids [X]
Look at my reflection [X]
Dream sex [X] with climax [X]
Your outlook is so wrong. It's a common mistake, but very wrong nonetheless. Don't go through life trying to prove what you already believe to be true. If you do that you will never evolve. Go through life in search of the truth, whatever that may be. |
|
But theres no "evidence" for any religious beliefs. So why will someone elses effect yours? What you believe, is what you will believe. Its entirely up to you. |

Catholic or not. It is in the Scripture that Lucid Dreaming would return one day. That "God" whatever it is, would teach man directly and that man would not teach man about "God" any more. |

Firstly, it is absolutely possible to study LD without changing your spiritual beliefs. The main focus of this site, for instance, focuses on the "practical" side of Lucid Dreaming, which is quite enriching on it's own without any mysticism of any type at all, and which should not conflict with any beliefs, either. |
