  • mm.. He doesn't really answer the question about the side effects of lucid dreaming. What if someone becomes dependent on lucid dreaming, or becomes so addicted to it that one neglects every day waking consciousness? It would be nice if he addressed these ideas - after all, the purpose of lucid dreaming should certainly be to benefit everyday waking life.

  • @GabrielWintrox like Mal in Inception lol

  • @GabrielWintrox You can't be addicted to it like a drug because you can't have it whenever you want

    You call me retarted? Why don't you check your grammer? It's a purely scientific question. It is possible to have to much of any one thing - whether it be coffee, facebook, making immature, unproductive youtube comments, or masturbating. Things are appreciated more in moderation.

    I know someone who can lucid dream, and frankly, he would rather lucid dream for a night than spend a night out with his friends. I'm sorry the question is too big for your little head to ponder.. :)

  • @GabrielWintrox Well, dreaming and waking are both necessary; you can't dream all the time just like you can't be awake all the time. Truthfully, I would say I enjoy a great lucid dream more than waking life, but to neglect waking life because of dream experience is a rationally faulty argument, and if you understand this, I don't think you'll get lost in fantasy.

  • @GabrielWintrox A healthy dream life depends directly on a healthy waking life; you can't neglect things like eating or drinking and expect to just stay in bed all day dreaming. Also, if being awake is necessary for half to two thirds of the day, then it makes little sense to be wasteful of this time because you can have more fantastic experiences during sleep.

  • @GabrielWintrox The thing about waking life is its stability due to the fundamental nature of reality; tomorrow will be directly affected by the actions of today. Although you may find your most joyful moments to be while you're asleep, to truly MAXIMIZE your happiness takes effort put in both your waking and dreaming states. Just because I know I'm going to have fun tonight doesn't mean I can't make the now fun as well.

  • @GabrielWintrox And finally, some people might just enjoy the physical restraints of waking life. Consider a video game; even if cheat codes are available, people still seem to enjoy the challenge and experience of working through the game "as is", with all its limitations intact. At least I feel that winning a video game without having used codes is a very satisfying experience, even if using them would have been easier.

    Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I would very much like to learn how to lucid dream, as I believe it can have very many benefits; and it would be rather nice to fly around every so often (this has happened a few times). For example, my friend had a giant presentation she had to to in front of her class; and having rehearsed it and gone over it several times in her dream, experienced no anxiety the next day.

  • @Sabre2552

    Interestingly, I think that the however greatest joy experienced in lucid dreaming is also replicable in everyday life - it may just be harder to replicate (and of course require much courage and self-confidence - but perhaps as you say, obtaining this joy in a dream state also requires the same effort; but perhaps less since you're not actually interacting with real people (or perhaps we are? hmmmm, now there's a thought)).

    But yes, thank you again for your experienced answer :)
