Thread: Need Some Regulation in My Life

Hello everyone,

Im new to this forum, my first post, but I have been a natural Lucid Dreamer for quite some time, and once I started to do some research on LDing I noticed how similar the things I already do to induce my LD are to the types all over this forum. Now I dont feel as alone on this life journey.

My real reason for posting was to get some feedback on an idea I have; I life my life full of stress right now, managing people, job, school, life in general. I wanted a chance to escape it all and straighten my self out. The idea is to join a branch of the army, navy, national gaurd etc... and while im there, work on my LDing, Astral projection, and meditation since I will have a regulated sleep pattern, be healthy and have the time to work on it. My life just seems a mess as of right now, and its hard to keep sane with all thats going on, and this whole new outlook on life itself. Anyone with any feedback or suggestions on what might help or if this is a good idea.
Thanks,
MoonMan

I know what you mean. It'd be good to get some regularity in my life as well. To bad I'm not old enough to join the army... Ultimately it's your decision, but it sounds like a good idea to me.

Don't do it. Your reasons for joining the military are terrible. I used to be in the Marines. Your sleep will be regulated, but you'll be more tired and stressed out than you are now.
You might "straighten yourself out," but LDing, Astral projection, and meditation, you won't have any more time or energy to do those than you do right now.

I completely agree with IL.

(How I Met Your Mother Quote) In this kind of situation, you would be best off creating a list of pros and cons. But I'm so nice, I actually made a small one for you.

PROS
- Escaping stress
- Regular sleep schedule

CONS
- Intense training for the army
- Often very busy days leaving you tired
- Not enough strength to prepare for dreaming and such?
- Away from family, friends

In the end, if you feel that the risks are worth the end benefits, then by all means go for it. It just depends on how bad your situation is at the moment and how much you could deal with (physically / mentally speaking) by joining the military.

Best of wishes to you though.

You want to join the military to work on SLEEP? I'm speechless. Although they are making the military soft now....

I understand the reasoning behind the military to get on a schedule, if nothing else you'll be too tired to stay up later than they want you to, but I'm not sure you'd be able to work on the stuff you mentioned. I can see the air force maybe... on the ground you might get to rest but that's a trade off with getting into combat. I don't know how much personal space you need but with the Navy you won't have much of it. In the end you know yourself and your capabilities so its your choice. If its a strict schedule and discipline you want then go for it, though I wouldn't plan on the dreaming thing till after getting discharged.
