Thread: Ideas?

Make a dream journal. Most times, not always, people will comment on your dreams, and I find this very motivating. If people comment on your dreams, that could get you in the spirit. Just think though, you spend about 1/3rd of your life sleeping, so why not experience it how you want to?

The ability to make whatever you want happen. What more motivation do you need lol

There's your motivation. If the things you want to do in lucid dreams aren't enough motivation to learn to lucid dream, why bother?

I guess ill make a dream journal. I really need to wild again. I've lost the acctual feeling of going lucid. And btw, my dream journal entries are weird. It's hard for me to describe what i see.

Lucid dreaming is awesome. You can do anything you want!

That's the rational explanation. For a more hyperbolic rationale:

If you don't lucid dream, you're basically cutting 25 years off of your life. The average person dreams for about 8 hours each day (unverified information, but I've heard it enough times to consider it), and 8 hours is 1/3 of the 24-hour day. Thus, if you live to 75, you would have lost 1/3 of your life wandering around senselessly. With lucid dreaming, you live for 25 more years. (By live, I mean experience what it means to be alive, not a physical reality, although even that's disputed.)

Your reason for pursuing lucid dreaming, I'm sorry to say, is just not good enough. You can fulfill your goal of "going there" by watching the movie high - not to mention 3D.

You need to realize and imagine the full capability of what can be achieved in a LD. Now I don't know about you, but when I first tried imagining flying, it was very 3rd person - seeing myself soaring through the air. Instead, take the time to imagine actually being in the clouds. And beside what you would see through your own eyes but what you might feel. The cool wind on your skin. What you might hear or smell.

Once you can picture this fantastical scene as vividly as possible remind yourself this no fantasy. This is completely attainable.

Now in your case, if you are dead set on visiting the Navi, do not think of it as a movie. Equate that reality with the reality you are now experiencing. Because after all, it basically is.

fixed that for you, but you still have a point. After all, after even 20 years of lucid dreaming you're bound to be dreaming a lot longer per night.

That 1/3 of your life thing was a pretty good idea. But more over i need the time to do it. But i have found a few things to help me out without wasting too much of my time, or making me look like a fool in public. So i think i can do better now.But the main time to work on it is during the summer. More time to do stuff. Especially with no job. Yay being 17.
