Thread: Lucid Dreaming as a Wisdom Path

Hey, I am interested in using lucid dreaming as a tool for growth and self-knowledge. I'm wondering if those who have been lucid dreaming for a longer period of time have been able to go to places of deep inner growth and deeper existential levels of experience. I know that there is Tibetan Dream Yoga, but I'm interested in a more open ended path, or western path. More like a Jungian spiritual path on steroids. Or any level of personal growth that can occur through lucid dreaming.

I've read Waggoner's book and the main reason I lucid dream is to attempt those deep self-explorations that he has achieved. I'm experienced with meditation and some non mainstream spiritual paths, but I'm not happy with the effort to transformation ratio. I have found ways to achieve some transpersonal states in clients in my therapy sessions without having to resort to traditional meditative methods. I like to buck tradition and I feel that lucid dreaming is a leverage towards inner transformation that could potentially be more powerful than any meditative technique or any psychoactive substance out there if used correctly.

Is anyone out there interested in using lucid dreaming for the same reasons? If anyone is interested, I'll start a blog site where we can discuss our experiences and experiments in using lucid dreaming in this manner.

Let me know.

Oh sure! My own purpose for lucid dreaming is spiritual growth and discovering inner knowledge! But unfortunately there are not enough Information about those who have achieved them and how they did them through lucid dreaming.

The only deep explorations I have done in my lucid dreams were meditation (which was wonderful and I was somehow sucked into circulation of energy and also my mind was very focused) and asking my subconscious several questions (the reaction was funny! The inner world tells the truth very clear without morality). For example, I asked it about a religious pathway, suddenly my subconscious showed its hate to that path by making me swallow out severely.

So I think lucid dreaming are even better than hypnosis for communicating with inner world but I still doubt if it can be used for higher spiritual goals. This maybe only possible after sever purification and karma removals!

So if I link to a general blog site where we can post our experiences, would you be interested? It would be nice to do it here but threads come and go quickly.

Of course! It's my pleasure to participate in these types of researches!
