- Lucid Dream is not fun

2)Only people born with a talent for lucid dreaming can lucid dream
I think I’ve seen a thread similar to this… Or is it a first one of this kind?
Hmm… I don’t remember seeing this before. Meh
Sometimes it doesn’t for me.
Yes, that’s the same with my dreams… Most texts are completely clear and readable
In EWLD, Laberge talked about how it was once believed that if you said your name in a dream, you’d wake up. Several lucid dreamers before him had tried and would immediately wake up. Then, when he tried, he had no problem with it. (He said it was because, since they expected to wake up, they did.)
Havent see yet…what do you mean by this?
I’ve read that on some page and from my own experience and from others that’s not true, at first there is maybe interest in that but with time when we learn what can we do in LD, sex is not that special… In my opinion at least!
ok
7) Dreams occur only in REM sleep
i think alot of people have that perception haha
im not that experienced in ld’s , only had the one infact and still theres so much more i want to do than that.
good thread!
8 ) If you fail at WILD, that means that you CAN’T do it.
nice to have a place to put all of these together!
giving in to the roll over signal (or swallowing, or whatever) completely ruins your chances to WILD
WILD being a better method for having LD’s on demand (i.e. LaBerge does so with MILD)
And I’d like to expand on what StarryGwee said to anything people say that always or never happens in dreams (no bathrooms, not feeling pain, a specific RC working 100% of the time, etc). That depends on so many variables…
Not sure if I should consider “HI or SP being necessary for a successful WILD” as a myth…
I think needing HI it is a myth, SP may not be felt but it’s needed, for me seeing the dream forming is more important. Maybe an opinion.
Lemme try to add a few myths:
11) Fingers always look awkard in dreams.
12) Pinch nose RC cannot fail.
13) The RC that you try to put a finger through a hand fails most of times.
14) Closing eyes in a dream causes wake up.
15) Hurting/killing a DC is like hurting yourself.
16) Dreams always last longer than real life.
17) People have an LD Quota.
sorry for spamming!
“Dreams can only remembered when one woke up during a dream”
A myth I often hear and get annoyed of hearing
In fact WBTB usually hurts my chances, personally… Odd…
I always hear this one too … in a way disappointing
[this one is more about general sleeping, but dreams too]
21) it is impossible to tell at what time you fall asleep -___-
[so here is a more dream-related myth]
22) lamp switches never function well inside LD.
False, everything in a dream can look just like IRL and work in exactly same way
True, true, true
