Tell me about how your friends/family/colleagues react to your interest in Lucid Dreaming

The only person that knows is my best friend and she was skeptical at first but then I explained and it got her interested, now we are on this lucid journey together, she has so far had 1 lucid dream, we also tell each other about our dreams. Couldn't have wished for a better turnout.

My bro thinks I'm a crazy person, and he is fine with waking life, and routines.

Really, I try to get lots of people into this, mostly because they do not know what they are missing. Why go to sleep at night and not, I dunno, do whatever the hell you'd like!

Most people think we're crazy I'd guess. But I do admit, it sounds like witchcraft. But it works! It really does! And I think all of us couldn't imagine a life without it. Like, I have had interests with dreaming before, and I tried to improve my memory for it, it never worked, then one day I found y'all. And now I'm hooked on it. I look back and shutter at what I would've done if I hadn't found y'all. Just, gone to sleep I guess.

Ok, I think I let that all out.

Sweet dreams y'all.

(and thank you DV

, really.)

My parents think i'm weird and a little stupid for it.

Most of my friends don't know or have no interest.

One friend is mildly interested but has no motivation what so ever.

And another friend takes deep interest in it, but he claims he's no good at it and also has no motivation. I tell him that's the wrong attitude to have but he doesn't listen xD.

And, well, that's about it.

If we try to ignore our frustrations regarding this subject, this topic is actually pretty funny, with so many of us being called crazy and liars

Dream control was looked on as "The work of the devil" by early western religions.
Anyone found to have such a skill was accused of whitchcraft, imprisoned, tortured and burnt at the stake.
So you might say that the church/religions have selectivly removed any advances that should be with us at the moment.
It is left to a few, to advance these skills, and teach the rest of the world what the human mind is capable of.

Yes, there is, it's basicly to stop the swallow reaction which begins from a dry mouth, so, pillow keeping your mouth shut, keeps your mouth wet, no need to swallow. Gives me the best results, may not for others.
