Well, first off, I’d like to say hi. I’ve just stumbled upon this Lucid Dreaming stuff tonight, and I’d like to experience one asap. I understand that it could take time, and I’m planning on starting a dream journal as soon as tonight.
But first I have a few questions. Question number one is, could someone please link me or explain to me what MILD and WILD are? Please link me to a topic that specifically explains it, as I don’t want to waft through a zillion posts to find one that does.
Second, in LDs, can you feel and experience things that you haven’t in real life? I think basiclly what I’m trying to ask here is: If I had never had sex in RL, would I be able to do it in an LD and have it feel exactly like it would in RL?
Third, could I do a dream GTA style? Could I do anything I wanted? With no consequences? Would things like dying, killing, interacting, destroying, driving, et cetera be possible? And would they be realistic?
Fourth, are you able to talk to people? Like say if I wanted to practice asking a girl out (a girl who’s personality I knew pretty well), would she react realisticly or something human like and not always in my favor? Could it be like a training type of thing?
Also, how long do they usually last? What are they like? Can they be terrifying to the point of never wanting to have a LD again? Can they refresh you or give you new (mental) strengths in real life?
Good thing you know it Some take too long to realize and end up giving up too soon.
Well, go to the main page (www.ld4all.com) or the library at the forum! They have perfect explanations.
Possibly. You could experience it, but it wouldn’t necessarily be like IRL. If you believe in reincarnation and etc, maybe you could feel it just like WL by “remembering” it from another life .
Sure! When you’re a good LDer, if you want it to happen, it happens. You can run amok in town with a machine gun, be shot and don’t even feel it (or feel it, if you want).
Probably yes While it’s not 100% it’d happen like that, you can train. Some people even say dreams train you for WL. You can train something in an LD (Plus, check this moon’s quest)
They can last from seconds to many hours. Time in dreams isn’t the same as in WL. Plus, they say some people managed to dream for days, weeks even.
They feel like real life, and many times even better or more realistic than WL. Mine have all been short, but the colors are more vivid, and everything feels like real life. I can’t say much about powers myself, as I haven’t had the time to do much.
Naah. If you’re LDing, you can control it so they won’t be scary. I’m not saying you won’t have nightmares or FAs, though.
Some say yes, some say no. What is confirmed is that you can train for real life situations, like I mentioned.
