Hello All,

I am new to the forum, and quite excited by the prospect of lucid dreaming. Unfortunately, however much I wish to lucid dream, my skepticism always seems to get in the way. I am an imaginative person (and a dedicated day dreamer :p), but have strong cynical tendencies. My impulse is to doubt anything that seems too good to be true and my dreams have often reflected this. I ALWAYS dream in the first person, and whenever something fantastic is about to occur, my conscious reasoning steps in and says "Nope, sorry man. You can't do that"

Though this mode of thinking is often practical, it is something that holds me back from understanding non-mundane aspect of reality. I really want to experience the world of my own imagination as if it were reality. But I have some doubts as to whether or not LD's actually resemble reality. Can you folks tell me how real this experiences are to you, are there truly no physical limits in a Lucid Dream? Please, use this thread for absolutely clobbering my cynicism. IN THIS CASE I WANT TO BE WRONG!!!
