Thread: Do you keep your interest in lucid dreaming a secret from others?

Plus, these last few months I had been telling him about my dreams, the non-lucid ones, to work my way into the subject. So, I started by asking him if he knew what lucid dreaming was. As I expected, he said no, and I tried to describe it to him as simply as I could. He just said "sounds like Inception". He knows I love the movie. Then, I tried to make him ask me about the dream I had tonight (it was so overwhelmingly vivid I needed to tell someone, but I didn't want to just throw it to him if he wasn't interested) by telling him it had been amazing. He showed no interest whatsoever, so I just stopped trying. Meh, how disappointing, I thought I would finally have someone to share this with in real life. People really aren't interested in these things at all, generally speaking.

So I guess yes, my interest in lucid dreaming still remains a secret to those around me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I talk about lucid dreaming in the house all the time. My hubby is sick of it. lol I just cannot fathom how anyone would NOT be interested in this subject. I was talking to my brother about it just yesterday and he seemed pretty interested. I was very surprised since he is a skeptic about everything but apparently he was interested and was even willing to trying WILDing. As far as every day talk. I found a friend online that I talk about lucid dreaming everyday and they are also a lucid dreamer. You should find a friend you can talk to about this stuff everyday so you don't lose your interest. It will keep you motivated. There are lucid dream groups on facebook. You should look them up. Mine is The Lucid Traveler (For Oneironauts). You can request and join. Another one is just Lucid Dreaming. I found so many friends here and people that talk about lucid dreaming. It's a great place to go because you get notifications all the time and can chat with them on demand. Dreamviews is great too. Enjoy!

I'll definitely join some Facebook group. I think I'm in one already but it's not active. I'll send a request to your group it sounds great. And yeah, right now Dreamviews is my number one motivation

Btw, looks like finally my boyfriend has become interested. He must've done some research these last hours and now he's asking me questions. I like that, now we can have some interesting conversations. Maybe he'll end up so into the subject as me ^^
