LDing should be taught in college.

For English class, we had to write a short story that wasn’t short at all. Our teacher wanted to see if we could put together a fictional story that was rooted in formal research, whether it was a textbook, or an interview we conducted, or a magazine or website. Or firsthand experience. Each class for the whole semester was dedicated to researching.

Apparently, a previous student had picked the topic of lucid dreaming.

And slept in class.

And called it research.

(And the teacher let him.)

That’s a really funny story, like literally that’s amazing wish I could do that
Thanks this made my night

I wouldn’t agree with that. Lucid dreaming is not a subject. It’s rather a hobby: Are you interested? Fine, do it. Are you not? Don’t bother then.

There are no subjects such as Chess, Rubik’s Cube Solving, Collecting postage stamps etc.

Subjects are required for your qualifications. You understand Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Languages etc. and you get marks, because you do tests and exams…
Lucid dreaming would be a problem. I’m up for presenting this topic in school conferences (I have done it, actually), but a school subject? A no-no from me.

That’s why I said it should at least be included in Psychology classes.
Seriously, lucid dreaming, if anything, is psychology-related, and there is absolutely no reason in my mind to leave it out of the subject, because lucid dreaming is easily one of the most complex and deep parts of psychology, but constantly overlooked.

A professor from my school, Dr. Bardi, is a psychologist whom I met one day in the library. I rented a book “The Psychology of Dreaming” and he told me about Tibetin Dream Yogas and has shared many lucid stories. I’ve yet to have a class with him, but now I’m really looking forward to an oppurtunity to talk more. It’s awesome how open-minded and experienced some professors really are, especially when it comes to smething like lucidity.
