Ah you got to talk about LDing in TOK?! Lucky. We never touched on anything really fascinating like that.
No. I’m afraid people would think that I’m deviant then talk bad about LD. Like “you would be posses by evil” and such. It would hurt my desire to LD 
Whenever I mention lucid dreaming to someone I always get a reaction more or less like “okay 
changes subject”.
Their loss, I know they would absolutely love lucid dreaming if they gave it a chance for once.
Lately for me it’s been the other way around. I have problems with discipline. I can’t keep at my hobbies for very long because I get distracted or lose interest easily. Lucid dreaming is no different, despite some great successes in the past.
These days it’s OTHER people who talk to me about it. They’ll be all: “Sven, how’s that lucid dreaming going? Had any awesome dreams lately?” Even my mother, who barely even understands the concept of lucid dreams asked me that the other day. So sometimes I have to thank them for making me able to dream more, haha.
I talked about it once to my friends. They made fun at me like I was crazy or something… Only one of my colleague who’s in fond of all the “awarness” and “quest of happiness” stuff, listen to my stories ~
Hey i have that to 
i am high sensitve and i can pick the smallest things up. This got me interested in the paranormal 
I’ve mentioned it to family members over the years, but even though everyone I’ve talked to says they’ve experienced it in the past, none of them have any real interest in it.
They tend to take a “what’s the point” stance on it, which is a shame.
I do. I live in a huge hotel in the weekdays. I met a woman there, the thing is the hotel is like nearly abandond and she and I are usualy the only persons staying there. Anyway I was about to have dinner when she sat down at my table. We then started talking about this and that, you know just geneal. Then she started talking about dreams. I just had an LD the night before and couldn’t stop myself. I nearly was certain i was going to sound like an crazy person. But she didn’t make any weird faces and seemed very interested. Lol 
turns out that she can predict her and other peoples future by deciphering her/their dreams. She can also do tarot card readings etc…
So the moral of the story is don’t Judge people at your first glance and more importantly if in a conversation with someone about dreams, then mention LD’s!
Today at work I told a middle-aged lady that it’s easier to feel rested if you wake up during your dreams, and then she said that she hardly remembered her dreams.
At this point I saw a pretty obvious opportunity to bring up lucid dreaming, and I told her that everyone dreams and that you can actually learn to control your dreams.
She reacted the typical way, in other words she showed a poorly faked enthusiasm and then slowly dropped the topic - so I did that as well, since she was clearly not interested nor took me seriously.
Aaand now she will probably look at me like some kind of high weirdo and refuse to ever bring up the subject again.
It would have been SO much fun if she could just go “those dreams you mentioned yesterday, what are they?” or something tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure she will never ever mention anything that’s even dream-related again.
That’s so damn boring, and highly unfortunate. 
I found out that a friend of mine actually started lucid dreaming naturally a couple of months ago, he had never heard of lucid dreaming but does it almost every night. I was really jealous at that point . He said that at first he was able to fly, and later he could use magic and basically control the entire dream. I’ve known him for 5 years now but never discusses ld’ing with him because to me he never felt like he person who would take that kind of thing serious… So about a week ago we were having a nonsense conversation but we got to a point were I felt like he would take me serious if I told him about ld’ing, and he turns out to have them more often in a week than I on 2 months… …I guess you never really know everything about your friends!
Talk about it? Of course! The teacher was the one who brought it up because HE had lucid dreams! It was awesome.
And that sucks that you didn’t get to speak about it. You should’ve brought it up yourself. It would have fit the agenda for sure.
EDIT: GACK! Why do I always win the top-of-the-page game in every topic except the one I need to!! 
Actually, I must say that there is something special about having this lucid dream knowledge “for yourself”, and share it with a select few people, kind of like an underground hobby.
I don’t know, I kind of have the feeling that it wouldn’t really be the same if most people started to know about it, there’s something pleasant about keeping this phenomenon more to yourself.
Oddly enough, over the past few weeks or so, I’ve had a lot of conversations with many different people about dreams/LD’ing.
Many more people know about it than I originally thought (mainly from Inception) and I find it cool to hear about people’s natural experiences or lack of. And now I have friends to talk to about lucid dreaming who won’t think I’m odd. 
Lol, I don’t know why, but my chemistry teacher, (He really is the stereotype genius. The kind of guy who knows everything except what and when he is going to teach next and stuff.) was just giving his normal chemistry lessons, and during the self-studie part I suddenly overheard him talking about the fact that you have a knowingness in your dreams that you are dreaming when you’re flying in the dream. And then he sead that when he then focused he would always wake up, and I actually was able to tell him what he should do when this happens again so he would be able to continue ld’ing the next time. He gave me an odd-ish look when I told him, but he has an oddi-ish look on his face most of the time, but he seemed to be interested
I’ve recently told my roommate and afew people on campus about lucid dreaming. They may consider joining ld4all.
