Thread: If you could spend years in a dream...

As long as I will continue mastering it after waking up, I choose martial arts, so I can beat up every bad person in the real world

I would like to master the realm that enables me to feel like I've spent months or years in a LD. With that kind of wisdom in your spiritual pocket, the rest is just gravy.

Personally, I'd love to master the piano, it's an amazing musical instrument.

How to receive love.

I'd be interested in mastering a language if I could. Then I'd wake up and speak in tongues, people would be like O____________O

Imagine if the dream seemed like a month or year but when you woke up it was only a few hours.

How to sleep walk.

I would dream that I would be sitting at a computer, talking on the Internet about a dream that I would be sitting at a computer, talking on the Internet about a dream that I would be sitting at a computer, talking on the Internet about a dream that I would be sitting at a computer, talking on the Internet about a dream...

Hmm hard question I would probably experiment and see if the dream world can be experienced as vividly and real as the real world.
For philosophical purposes.

The Aborigines believed that the dreams where were gods existed. Between heaven and earth ...

Shamans believed that dreams where portals to different worlds and realms, they also believed that you saw the world more clearly by eating cactus buttons.

They say that the border between madness and brilliance is subtle. Well I want to find out if it's more to dreams than meets the eye.

The best wish to wish for is more wishes, same thing here. I would find my DG and learn as much about LD, meditation and dream yoga as possible, enabling me to return whenever I want for the rest of my life In the time that was left (if any), I would do anything amazing that I could think of

First things first. Go on a spirit quest to find out more about myself and the nature of the world and even find my dream/spirit guide on the way. Second, I would exercise my energy abilities by manipulating psi energy. Third, participate on an epic battle on a universal scale. fourth, raise my consciousness to the point where the dream becomes an OBE and talk to the different entities in the different realms. Fifth, merge with other aspects of myself and see what they are doing. sixth, find out what my past lives are. I could go on and on about this but I will leave it at that.

Ok I'll answer seriously now
If I had a 1yr long lucid dream I would re-enter my old imaginary universe called maxi. When me and my friend were like five we made up this world and it was amazing. We both had specific character and we drew all the monsters/machines/weapons etc from that world. It was so vivid and we played it for 7 years straight. Every now and then I go to my hide out when I lucid dream and have adventures like I used in RL during the old days.

Hell yeah, childhood safety zone all the way!

I never had imaginary places.
I wasn't the imaginative type of child, or not that I know of, at least.
I think I'd probably live as a god, destroying and creating as I see fit.

One of my first lucid dreams I stayed in it for what felt like a few weeks. I wasn't really sure how to use Dream control at that point, so I just went through my every day schedule with the ability to fly and be a wizard.
srs.

I would definitely improve on my viola playing skills and piano . I would also teach myself how to fight and how to do a back flip and whatever comes to mind I will learn >.

First, I would search for my dream guide. I would ask her (or him) to help me with dream control. I'd also create my own world that I could return to in future lucid dreams. I'd probably start another life there, a "dream life" that I could live while the "real life" me is asleep. I'd definitely make a lot of friends there! Since they'd live in my "dream world", I'd also be able to meet them again in other lucid dreams.

I think I would do pretty much exactly what Alan Watts explains in this video. I would start by indulging in whatever pleasures I can dream up. After a while doing that, I would challenge myself and overcome challenges- all sorts of them, whatever I could dream up.

Probably find my dream guide first, and then do anything that i can't do in real life. And i would probably try to master meditation in my dreams, it would make my future lucid dreams a lot easier. But nothing to special, never really thought about spending years in one lucid dream. My big goal would probably be to build the universe in my own way, if that doesn't improve your dream control, then nothing will.

I am with you on this. Good plan.
