The "Laws" of dreaming

**Katsuno** · 01-16-2011 11:00 PM

Since I started with Lucid Dreaming I found out that there are so called "Laws" that applied in all my dreams so far. With "Laws" I mean the laws of nature in dreams. I haven't found a similar Thread so far so I thought about making a new one.
So this Thread will be a summary of all the statements you think that apply in dreams.

These are my statements:

You can do Everything as long as you have a Concept.

Many people think that there are some things you can't do even in a dream. I don't think so. Somebody said it is impossible to have 360 degree vision because he just couldn't imagine it. I had my doubts also but I tried to make a Concept on how it could work in RL. So after a few weeks I tried it in a Lucid Dream and guess what....it worked!
Since that time I'm doing Concepts of all the things I can't imagine to work and I haven't got problems so far. The only thing you need to consider is that you need to forget all laws of nature when making a Concept.

You make you own Limitations.

I remember a Experiment in which some members tried to get to the limits of their dreams. They actually got to a point in which they couldn't go further without the dream to collapse. I think that it's like with learning to drive (Or of course anything else). At first you get to a point, where you can't go further (Your "temporary" limit).
But with time, practice and dedication you make progress. In dreams I think it's the same. You get to a point you can't surpass but with time and practice, you "stretch" your limits. The only difference is that I don't think that there are any "final limits" to dreaming.

Reality is Relative.

My friend asked me a month ago how real my dreams are. I told him that it depends on how you see reality. In my lucid dreams for example I see the Waking Life as blurry images. When I'm awake it's reverse. So I think that there is no "Real Reality" but there are many realities and in everyone we think the current is "The Reality".

Well, this are my Statements/Laws of my dreaming world. Feel free to discuss about them and/or add new ones.

Greetings, Katsuno

For all of you who prefer a TL;DR here it is. In lucid dreams you make your own limitations.

I mean sure some of the stuff you pointed out is true but this isn't really a new revelation in the world of lucid dreaming.

Yeah of course these are not new revelations. But I thought that it would be a good idea to make a Thread that summarizes them and can be discussed there.
