A different style of LDing

Quest for Lucidity
1

My friend is currently 17 and he’s been LDing for most of his life, however most of his LD control came to him when he was in 8th grade, or about 2-3 years ago. So I found out that he discovered LDing by just realizing he was in a dream. He didn’t really know what it was called until I told him. He has just been having them over and over. How has he been doing this?

Basically, around 8th grade I guess some hormones kicked in for him, and he was able to associate dreaming and sex; subconsciously. He also is able to tell that he’s in a dream very easily. I guess he is very perceptive too, in real world and dreaming world. Anyway, both of these factors helped him to LD every night. However, it’s become an addiction.

I asked him to think of one thing he would want to do besides have sex in a LD, and he couldn’t name one thing. I could think of about 5 things I would want to do before he could come up with one. (I didn’t count his flying and having sex at the same time as an idea. >.< )

Might be too much information

(He has an insane ammount of LD sex. Whenever he wants, that is. I asked him what the most at one time, and he said like 20 women, and they basically just lined up. He says he wears like 3 or 4 pairs of boxers for protection.)

And some more details…

It’s really kind of a talent. I mean, he can do it with anyone he wants. When he first started off, he said he slept with some celebrities, such as Jennifer Aniston, but more recently he slept with the three hottest chicks from our tennis class. He kind of described it with a little too much detail, but he obviously has great dream recall. I honestly think he could write books/stories on this stuff, and probably sell it.

Anyway, my whole point in telling you this is he was able to become addicted to LD sex in order to have LDs. Basically whenever he wants. Currently he has a girlfriend, and he says he doesn’t really want to LD anymore, and I told him that he should try to do other things beside sex. He really didn’t have any motivation to do so. Another weird thing is he hasn’t had sex with his girlfriend in an LD, and I asked him why, and he says that he thinks that would be weird. Especially talking to her the next time. (Oh hi, yeah I just had sex with you about 20 times in my dream. >.< )

I just thought it was pretty interesting. I would think some people would kill for this skill, or whatever you want to call it. I think it’s an addiction. I didn’t see anyone else have this strange quality/ technique so I figured I’d share.

It’s really good for him, but still he has LD’s, I don’t think he is really happy. It gets boring to do the same thing a thousand times. I even think it might be some sort of torture for him. Every night you go to bed and every night you must have sex. At first it might be interesting, but then if years pass by and you still do the same thing then it will get stressfull.

He should do other things in LD’s, like meeting someone he allwayes wanted to meet, fighting is very interesting also and dream-inventing (I thaught many times, what would happen if I’d say in a LD “Invent something usefull for humanity.” What would appear before me ?) plus many many other things.

I think LDing is like a very intersting computer game. It is veeery addictive … like a drug. And if you can wield power in LD’s, won’t the power come go to your head ? What I mean is… you can’t sleep your life away just for LDs. That’s what I’m kinda afraid of. And the worst thing is, that it can’t be cured, becase it is in your mind…

It’s a very intersting and quite hard topic to discuss.

What a waste of natural talent :tongue:. You can call it an addiction if you want but it really is quite simple; he’s an adolescent male. Many do the exact same thing just IRL with images on the computer instead of in their mind (and some real bad off ones actually are addicted to real sex). The fact is that he’s found an outlet with no limits and he’s not willing to give that up. If he wants to stop doing it because he has a gf and he feels guilty for whatever reason, he is the one who has the power to move on and try other things. IF he doesn’t, its because he doesn’t want to.

I said before I thought this was a waste of talent, and here’s the reason why. He has a natural ability to figure out “I’m doing x, therefor I must be dreaming.” Or it could even be more simple that his mind has been programmed to pick out LD’s; whatever the case, it isn’t the LD sex addiction that has done it. You can be as addicted as you want, you still might not get LD’s all the time. I really am not surprised that a natural LD’er who began LD’s at his age would associate them with sex. Heck, when a guy is in middle school most of his ND’s are about sex!

In the end it seemingly happened to work for him, but it really isn’t a viable technique for most people. As for your friend, maybe you can at least get him to try to do other things after or even while he’s having sex, it’s not like he’s limited by physical constraints.

He doesn’t have them every night. He basically chooses when he wants to have them or not. However, I think you’re right, I think it would get boring after a while. But he acts like LD sex is the best thing to do in an LD, and I was trying to convince him there’s unlimited possiblities that he could do besides sex. He seems to have a lack of motivation to try anything else. I still need to talk to him again. Hopefully he’s tried something new since then. He said climbing Mt. Everest was fun, but I guess it obviously isn’t as fun for him as LD sex. I suggested he try something fun, and then later, he could have some LD sex. Kind of end off the LD with it, just so he can kind of try something new.

I agree completely that it is a huge talent, and it shouldn’t be wasted. That’s why when he said he wasn’t going to have LDs anymore, that’s when I tried to convince him to try other things beside sex in LDs. The reason why I considered it to be an addiction, is because he chooses to do the samething every night if he gets an LD. Not to mention, when I tried to suggest he try something else, he immediately went back to the idea of LD sex.

I guess I want him to use his talent to try something besides LD sex, and if he enjoys it, then he should keep LDing if he wants too, but if not, then I guess he won’t LD anymore.

Alright, so I just talked with my friend, and he said he had an LD and it wasn’t about sex. So he obviously has an insane ammount of LD skill. He had an LD and tried it out in less than a week. So he isn’t addicted; he just chooses to have sex.

Well the verdict is out.
