Salutations fellow travellers of the dream worlds.
It’s been a long time since I last graced these parts and I beleive this to be the first community that I ever found that revolved around the subject of lucid dreaming. It was a genuine dream come true as I used to beleive it. For an unknown reason I can’t quite put my paw on, I have had the strangest inkling to return here.
I seldom engage in lucid dreams as much as I used to, as these days I’m very much afflicted with insomnia regarding my sleep and so as a consiquence I’d much rather have a decent nights sleep of dreamless restorative sleep so that I don’t feel too overwhelmingly sleepy the following day afterwards, however I still might entertain the idea from time to time.
I’m happy to see that there is still a keen interest amongst people for exploring the world of dreams via a higher level of concious awareness, and so if I can assist anyone in doing so in any way, I’d be glad to be assistance.
I do understand that this might not be the right place for it, but I’m also phillosophical fox of sorts and some of my favourite subjects do concern from the nature of reality and the truth beyond it.
If this kind of esoterica also takes your fancy, then please by all means, do feel free to give me a holla some time.
I completely understand that it’s more useful to have a good all night sleep when fighting with insomnia, than trying to have lucid dreams during that. I hope you can overcome your insomnia and start to practice lucid dreaming again.
During times when I struggle to have enough sleep, I also don’t try to have lucid dreams. Actually I’m rarely trying to have lucid dreams those days, because my work schedule does not allow enough sleep hours, so I try to have at least as much hours for sleep to stay healthy. I looked at my dream diary today and found out that during last months, or maybe years, I have 1 LD per month in average. And those are not planned before I go to sleep. I maintain the habit of checking reality every day, so sometimes I do it also in my dreams when something seems very odd, and in those times I do have LD-s. But sometimes things seems just so ridiculous that I don’t even need to check reality. Like last night when in my dream I walked out from some kind of building wearing only my underwear. It seemed so out of reality to me, that I was 100% sure that I’m dreaming. So instead of doing reality check, I boldly walked out and started to mess around with dream characters out there I’m satisfied with my random LD’s, and I’m sure that I would have them more, if I would put more intention to it, but it’s OK right now.
Happy Dreaming
