Welcome to DreamViews |

Some people don't seem to grasp the full concept of lucid dreaming, though surely no one ever will, at least not in this lifetime. Lucid dreaming can open doors to evil, so be careful, and keep God at your side at all times. Don't purposely put yourself in situations with evil. So long as you keep it as a dream, and don't try and create real danger to fight off you are fine. By this I mean don't try and summon evil spirits or "actual people", and don't trust anyone/thing. Summoning a dream battle is perfectly fine, so long as you just keep it as that, a dream battle, and recognize these "people" you summon, to just be dream illusions, not the actual person. Though you will at times be confronted with real evil, you will recognize the difference trust me, and all you can do if you are confronted by real evil is call upon God, and cast it out of your mind, and your home in his name. Lucid dreaming is completely appropriate(in my opinion) so long as you don't take it too far, keep it a dream, don't try to make a reality of it. Some people say they have Holy figures come to them and force them to do things and go places, no true holy figure would force you to do something, if you are confronted by a "holy' figure, question them, ask who is there god? If they ignore the question, or give unclear responses they are not truly holy. It is true God speaks to people through Lucid dreams, but make sure you know it is God, and don't try to get to God through a dream, you will only find an evil imitation, trying to deceive you and implant wrong ideas in your mind, they will tempt you with knowledge, or what ever it is you seek for, be smart and keep your dreams in an appropriate state. I wouldn't trust a "dream guide", deceit is a form of witchcraft(it's not what people commonly presume with fire and potions and blahhh), and this "dream guide" could very likely be a demon deceiving you, I understand people say it's your subconscious, and all this other crap, but since when is it a good idea to take on information without question? Don't go robbing people, and murdering innocent victims, it opens doors to things you don't want to open doors to. Like it or not, Lucid dreams are a spiritual happening. God uses them to speak to people, so when you play with them, be careful, because it is a spiritual realm. This is bigger than all of us. It's not that they can't be used for good, you can boost confidence, and have all sorts of appropriate fun, morals should not be broken, I don't care what anyone tells you about lucid dreaming. You don't know who your getting your info from, or what their agenda is. Just be careful people, can't say if you end up having a lot of spiritual problems I didn't warn you. ( OFF TOPIC: people keep considering this to be from a religious standpoint, don't mind my ocd about everyone getting this right, but I am not "Religious" par say, I don't believe In religion, I believe in God, and search for the truth religions keep locked up.) |

Thank you! and hahaha, your going to laugh, but my mother, she has done this whole lucid dreaming, and took it to far, and had major spiritual problems because of it, she went into her dreams saying she welcomed anything because she thought she could handle it, and from there on she saw horrifying things in dreams, and waking state. She heard conversations while completely alone at home, and was followed by series of demons. We still to this day have problems with them in our homes, I've seen my mother at home(when she was gone) my brother walking down stairs twenty minutes after he left for work, I checked, his car was gone, and I've seen my sister run into the bathroom and disappear. So mainly you would say, by her personal experience. She dropped the whole lucid dreaming thing, and prayed and such, and hasn't had the same problems since. Though we still have issues with them, nothing like that. |

I personally don't believe in a god, or demons. But I do think lucid dreams can be spiritual for some people. Any information, or experience you get from lucid dreams, I believe you are just getting from yourself. Sometimes there are negative experiences in dreams. But these arise from your own fears and anxieties. |
|
I didn't mean to be snooty, just trolly, anyway, I just thought that since you have discussed a lots on theory of dreaming (plans and religion and stuff), it woudn't fit this area of the forum, since we usually treat dreams in less in depth manner here. Like, we focus more on techniques and stuff to lucid dream and controll them. Not really carring if they are plans, squares, astral projection or anything! Just the good ol' " how do I do this? " or " tips on how to... " |
|
ZzzzzZZzzz....
Hm, one person isn't proof though, I keep getting into fights with evil spirits and mocking them all the time along with the christian god, I have yet to get a spiritual problem, though. |
|
Well yes, we all have different views on this all. To an extent, I even with my believes would say you are right. A mass majority is definitely from your own self. But from my view I see a spiritual side of it. I would like to thank you for your input, and not accusing me of trolling simply because you disagree with my beliefs. |
|
I don't expect you to think so, we all have our own beliefs, and it being my mother, and me being, not christian, but a believer in god, I believe this to be true, and just wanted to put an input, (Don't take this the wrong way) Generally demons will not attack par say, an individual who is not close to God, and me(and my mom) being close to God, we are a threat to them, so they are more likely to actually bother us . (just my belief) |
|
I don't think this thread is really worth a move to beyond dreaming. This is about lucid dreaming in general, but the OP is just religious. Beyond dreaming usually covers other topics like Shared Dreaming and the like. |
|
Well, think about what you said, "we usually treat dreams in less in depth manner here", why should I have to conform to how things are usually done, it seems to me any kind of new input, and way of thinking and perceiving the dream world would be welcomed, not called trolly and shunned upon. I came on this site to learn, and only got one point of view on it all, and there is another forum section for the "how to's" this is general Lucid discussion, and the meaning of "general" varies, from person to person, and to me this was quite general. |
|
Let's not let this argument get too heated, otherwise we will end up seeing a lock here. |
|
I am a newbie by definition, this wasn't built to scare people, Just to share my view, and keep people who have my same beliefs from going to far, and prevent any scare. And like loui54 said, this doesn't really fit the beyond dreaming section, it is were it belongs. You don't have to believe me, we are all entitled to our opinions, I'm just trying to help. |

Just a reminder to the people who had their posts deleted. Say something constructive to the topic or don't post at all. |
|
You should at least announce that this is from a very religious standpoint in the title or something. It's frightening to newcomers to think of demons and evil penetrating their dreams... even if you're just warning, it makes them think more about it. |
|
Sure man (are you a man?). |
|
That's... kind of true also |
|
This is not from a religious standpoint, I don't believe in religion. This is from my point of view, we are all sharing opinions here, it's not my fault some people don't think for themselves.(sorry if that comes off wrong, I don't mean for it too! I can be blunt I guess, I'm just faintly annoyed by all the accusations of trolling atm xD) |

Bahahahahahahahahaha |

Lol ah well. It's good to hear that you went ahead and considered it a lucid. Most people will ask if it was, given it being only a couple of seconds. The answer is always "yes" it was a lucid dream since you knew you were dreaming, duh |

Hahahaha, yeah I knew that our reasoning is heavily inflicted when we sleep, though not the science of it, thanks for the enlightenment |

I agree with insideout to a point because our own fear can definetely be an adversary in lucid dreaming. Although I also agree with Judge, but not from a religous standpoint. Read The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Casteneda. This book will completely change your view on dreaming and open your eyes to the many dangers in which to avoid. |
