Thread: The truth behind Lucid Dreaming - Experienced Lucid dreamers are needed

Alternatively, by anti-quide, do you mean a guide with bad intentions? I disagree with this as well. Our hostility is generally behind the intention of protecting us from harm, which is a good intention.

Good can be considered bad and bad could be considered good. I assume this is why you noted the Light and Dark parts of the dream and both a manifestation of yin and yang. If this is the case, however, how does one truly tell what is Light and what is Dark? After all, if one adds light to dark it more becomes light and if one takes away light from light it becomes more dark. Because of this, I've had a hostile DC turn into a friendly DC and vice versa.

Something balanced is something that is arranged in good proportions. If a balanced soul is balanced between the Light and Dark parts, how does one differentiate between a good or bad proportion between the Light and Dark parts?

I think the subconscious part of the theory is too open to interpretation to be necessarily valid due to the concepts of Light and Dark being too subjective. I agree with the unconscious and conscious parts, though.

These are mine terms, sorry for the confusion. By anti-Guide I mean the Nemesis of Guide. You might seen him before, without ever knowing/remembering. He is trying to stop you from getting lucid or gain control. He represent yin, but that doesn't mean he is evil. Look at the yin-yang symbol and you will understand. To get perfect lucidity you must balance 'yourself' between yin and yang.

The only thing I see differently is conscious = "your idea of You".
And soul = the actual "You" (like you said, all the parts make up soul. Which is the complete and true You)
[EDIT: Although, "Spirit" would be better than "soul", because soul is most commonly recognized as just a part of you. And, all is spirit, so soul is just a part of spirit.]

But that's just semantics. I feel where you're coming from.

Also I am very interested to hear about your soul evolution and your new informations. I love that stuff.

conscious = Your current 'You' (maybe is a little too complicated to understand, sorry)
Yeah 'Soul' is the whole 'YOU'!

There is tons of discussion about soul vs spirit over the internet. But I think spirit is bounded by the body, while the soul can get rid of the body when it dies and it can go to another field of existence.


p.s. But that is only just the top of the iceberg.
