Ok I’ve asked this question before on this site but I’d like a few differing opinions…if someone wrote a novel about Lucid dreaming what should it really concern itself about?
Thanks for your reply, I remember back in '99 that when I first placed a message about this subject on this site I had one reply that was typed completely in capitals saying that if I did write a novel about lucid dreams/dreaming the novel primary concern should be focused on the dreamer and how lucid dreaming makes him a better or worse person in general.
I got into lucid dreams because I wanted to write a novel about the idea, well at least a short story. I tried different approaches, changed characters and everything but nothing seemed to work.
A novel can’t be only about lucid dreams, it has to have a plot. I’ve written some stories, people stuck in ld’s, people that get attacked by other minds in ld’s and people that live in two or more seperate realities and stuff like that. But for me, lucid dreams aren’t a very interesting reading. It’s only interesting when it happens to yourself because you get the experience, and when people write about their experiences other people can usually relate to them, but when you write about ld experiences people can’t relate to them because they depend on your own imagination.
If you were to write something about ld’s, write about the discovery in the real world, about how it affects your view on life and what it can do for you. Not just about flying and having sex or seeing new places. I don’t think anyone could relate to my dreams
