How so? Do you think this has to do with dream morals being more loose than real life morals?
To a certain extent so, yeah. Not sure how to put it as this does not always concern things such as morale. It´s hard to explain, but my dream me is more…reckless? No, sounds to harsh. More egoistic I might say. As I know I am dreaming I automatically know there are no consequences to what I might do so although it´s not like I´d do everything to let a dream flow the way I´d like it to (like killing, there are clear borders for me that keep me from it, besides all the dream-no-consequences-thing), my dream me is more egoistic and does things she wouldn´t do IRL.
Not to get into a religous debate here, but how is killing someone in a LD better than having sex with them? The experience is just as real. I can see the logic, but it’s stretched. Are christians allowed to plot murder but never commit it? Surely it’s as bad as plotting adultery but never comitting it? Oh well, that’s a heavy subject, and I’m aware there’s no reason to try and change someone’s ethics.
Sex in dreams i mostly a bad idea anyway, either you wake up or the sex turns out to be…unpleasant.
Well, actually I do see quite a difference there, as if you like to transfer IRL morals onto your dreams one could start asking if killing is worse than having sex. And to that the answer would be a clear yes. I personally have never attempted to kill anyone in a dream be it an ND or an LD (or at least I can not recall having done so), so my feelings of right or wrong work as a reliable blockade here. Why should I kill someone? It would still seem wrong.
Concerning sex in dreams: why not? It all happens in your subconscios, so it´s all about you, DCs are not real people as I see it so having sex in a dream to me is far from adultry. Especially if you´re a single, I basically see this as a nice way of acting out your desires without consequences.
I have to disagree on that, too, sorry
A moral decision can only be made from choice. Lucidity gives a lot of choice. For most people, they can’t control what they dream. For those of Christian religions, It isn’t a sin to dream of sex. You don’t have control over that. Then again, some of use don’t have control over temptation. Don’t feel morally bad if you kill someone in your dream or experience anything with drugs, sex, or whatever. It wasn’t real and you didn’t have control over it. Well, if you were lucid, that might be a different matter.
I’ve done stuff I’d never do in real life that I’ve done in dreams- I’ve stolen cars and drove them through buildings, punched people in the face, broken walls and furniture- once I transformed into a wolf and killed and ate a deer.
Me too, almost.
I’ve an dream reality that I’m operative, getting into missions, invading buildings and even killing people happens often. (You didn’t see anything right?)
but I haven’t hunted and eaten something so big like a deer the way you did , don’t think it would be very interesting but may be worth trying.
Anyway, I like the action in my dreams, they are full of tactics and planning and had never thought this as a crime. I’ve even searched about agencies and discovered that they act very similar to my dreams. It may be some kind of teaching, but I don’t see it as a bad moral since some dramatic parts are very interesting, making me ponder how terrible are the wars.
Edit:
Oops, I’ve almost forgot, got a chronicle with morale. I’ll be posting it shortly!
It’s sort of strange - my dream-self seems to be almost totally harmless. I rarely inflict pain on DCs in normal dreams. I’ve no qualms about harming them in LDs, though, in fact I go out of my way to punish them for deceiving me.
Now I’ve posted it, It’s not my best story, but its morale is pretty interesting, afterall, it came from a dream, just a “copy”.
My “dream morals”
Anything I won’t do in reality I’ll do in my dreams
Like I’ve told, I do invade a lot of buildings in my dreams, which is a great thing to do.
Sometimes I end up fighting other people in my dreams, but it’s really hard- every time I try to deliver a punch or a kick, it’s like it’s in slow-motion and just barely nudges them.
Aww man, after some training, you can use some cheats in dreams, but you can learn how to improve yourself IRL too, .
(I guess I’ve been posting too much here!)
That’s happened to me lots of times before Usually the DC was faster and could kick my a** so I just tried to run, but then my legs felt like lead weights knee-deep in wet-sand and I couldn’t get away
I used to do that during my prepubescent years a lot and I’d mostly come across some half- or full-naked lady Other times nobody would be home and I’d just vandalize their house or just look around and check stuff out One time I went into some old lady’s house and she knew kung fu and totally owned me with a broom
