Questions and answers.

It’s actually quite easy. Just expect to be able to read like you can in real life (no really, it works).

Yes! It’s the new year, which means that I’m gonna LD whether my subconcious wants to or not.

stupid subc, i hate my subc so much!!!

DAMN YOU!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Anyway, I’m aiming to get some LD’s for the first time this month…

:smile: Thanks kavaa.

I’ll look forward to your competition. How many have you had so far? I’ve had 13 in january :smile:

Dramon, you shouldn’t get so worked up :wink:. That won’t help you to LD…

A long time ago I made a topic claiming that people were only getting themselves stuck with lucid dreaming because they believe they are stuck. I also said that by telling newbies that it is very easy, that it will make it easier for newbies. I think R3TRO, who joined 5 months ago, is a perfect example of this.

Newbies don’t need to be warned that it could be hard, because that would just be lieing to them.

Yeah, but the counter argument was if we told them it was easy and they then found it hard (for whatever reason) then they’d blame themselves and give up.

But they only find it hard because we tell them that it can be difficult. They need to relize that they wont get it straight away but that once they have got it, it will be much easier. Like learning to swim.

Using the word hard immediately sets the idea in their heads that it is hard to do. When actually, it isn’t.

I was just putting up the counter argument, which aren’t really my views. I prefer to avoid the whole ‘is it easy question’ anyway, so that way I can’t get it wrong. Once someone has posted up their first LD though, I make sure to tell them they’ll find it easier :smile:.

Yes it will, if I get rid of my subc then getting LD’s will be easy, and my ND’s will be really cool since my subc is a pile of crap and if I get rid of it then all the crap will be gone…

Good point. If we ignore the idea of a sunconcious it could illiminate an unessasary concept, making lucid dreaming easier.

If you got rid of your sub-c, you’d have tp spend your time trying to remember to breathe :wink:. Nor would your dreams have any form of randomness (you’d have to conciously decide every little detail). Me? I like my sub-c :smile:.

Ok, you can’t get rid of it. But you don’t have to consciously acknowlage it. That way it wont effect your lucid dreaming :content:

We’re taking this off topic, aren’t we (I have a habbit of doing this. Don’t know why…) :razz:.

Anyways, you two should try meeting your Sub-C (see if it takes on a physcial form for the meeting, or whether you get a disemobied voice, or even something completely differet).
I have no idea if it’s even possible, but hey, give it a go anyways :wink:.

Not true, that’s done unconciously by the part of your brain that controls heart beating, etc…

It’s a completely biological process doesn’t have anything to do with thinking…

Yeah, I should do that and beat it into a bloody pulp. But the question is how… where would I even start with something like that?

lol subc holds alot of our memorys and goals though. even though we cant utillize it conciously it is worth somthing. The only real thing you have todo is train your subc to where it is easy. if your subc knows its easy and your concious mind knows its easy two postitives equal a postive. and in this case two negetives equal… nothing.

I’ve hacked my brain, (explained in a previous post in this thread) I noticed the changes comming out in NDs and my vivid LD the same night I hacked. I have a feeling that meditation on the fact that LDing is easy will greatly help my subc believe its easy.

You can’t blame your Sub-C for you not having LD’s…

To meet your Sub-C, all you’ld have to do is ask for it to apear :wink:. Simple as that.

Looky, I found an old quote by Pedro:

Which puts a shadows over your shared dreaming thing :wink:.

On the other hand, he did end that post with:

However, in no post on this forum did he renounce this view (yes, I’ve checked :wink:).

Freecube and R3TRO:
Here is a couple of questions:
-Have you ever had difficulties in LD because of fears?
-If you had did they stop you LD-ing at least for a short peroid of time?
-Have you overcomed any fears using LD-s?

(If you have no fears YOU ARE LUCKY!!!)

-Can you use your LD-s to cause physical healing?
-If you can, how?

-Have you tried group dreaming? For example with 10-12 person. It would be COOL! Group dream adventures and such things.:smile:
-Is LD a requirement for shared reaming? Can you meet with a school friend in a LD where he is not lucid and because he meets with you he becomes lucid?
-Will he remember? Can you do anything about it?

-Do you have a constant enviroment where you realize that you are dreaming?(Or more than one but repeating envirmonts)
-If you have: Have you set them?

BTW, Convincing my subconscious mind that LD-s are easy is new for me. I will try it.I must reprogram my subconscious mind about it. However I must add some anti-fear scripts also. :smile:

That is the sub conscious. The sub conscious is basicly everything that you do not consciously control.

The sub-c is not a person as such. If you met him/her it would probably just be a dream character.
