Your Real Self vs. Lucid Dream Self

Lucid Adventures
1

Over the past week I have been making attempts to induce a lucid dream. Last night I finally managed to have one. I didn’t intend to go into it to do something sexual that’s just the way it ended up. I’d been doing reality checks throughout the week, so naturally in my dream state I checked my fingers (I had 6 on each hand) and a word I had written on my hand (it was written twice in two different kinds of writing). The place I ended up was the house of someone I am attracted to, so I was compelled to interact with her. I expected to be able to do whatever I wanted, knowing full well that it was a dream, but I stopped my activities when the person I was trying to become involved with protested (not angrily or fearfully, she just simply said no). I think this realization led to me waking up.

So, I have several questions

  1. Do any of you have reservations about doing things you wouldn’t morally do in real life in the dream state?

  2. What steps can I take to better control the situation I am in/the people in my dream state?

  3. Perhaps most importantly, is it really right/healthy to do so?

I’m a little disappointed that this was all my first lucid dream amounted to. I’m not normally a sexually dominated mind, so I ask for your understanding.

Your answers are much appreciated.

  1. In a short LD I had long ago I was telekinetically throwing around some guy, don’t remember why. Does that count?

  2. If you have increased lucidity you can better control the dream scenery. Practise is a big factor too. Also if you are good at visualising it’s a big advantage.

  3. If it doesn’t feel right stop doing it. However you won’t end up as a rapist by doing it again and again. Think of it like a video game, do you question your morality with certain games? Also remember that dreams are not real.

You can do whatever you want, really. I don’t think it’s morally wrong to do something like that in a dream. That said, there’s no reason to feel uncomfortable in a LD, so if continuing had reduced the fun, then I see no point in going ahead with it either.

Remember that you can change many things in a dream though; next time, maybe you can try to change the setting or mood to a point that you would expect her to be willing. Play some music, dim the lights, conjure up roses for the bed, etc. I’m sure you can come up with something :wink:
