I experience lucid dreaming almost every night, it's just fun, no big deal. That anyone place any importance to this whatsoever just shows how desperate they are for knowledge.

That anyone place such importance to this to the extent one would spend time practising "Buddhist-dream-yoga" is a desperate cry for real knowledge there is in the world today. Translation: Maharishi didn't know how to teach this and I've never experienced it, therefore it has no value. <insert appropriate stomping of feet, shouting, and other forms of Tantrum Yoga here> :-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : When I have had a lucid dream, with the same caveats - spontaneous, no techniques or anything, uncommon, I always find what is unfolding, so compelling, that it doesn't occur to me to want to change direction, or look at my left foot, or whatever. I am always drawn along, usually pleasantly, by the events I am watching and somehow participating in, and just let it go along. I suppose if I had them often, I might want to explore more about them. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's happened a few times before - always involuntary as I've never bothered to follow the "techniques" recommended by devotees of this perception). At least I assume it was a lucid-dream experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one wasn't (if you can follow that explanation). What's more, I woke up (for real), mused about the dream for a minute, then fell asleep again and immediately went back into the same dream landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state. Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the "dreamscape" to suit yourself. So you might find it amusing to flip over into being a Zero pilot on a kamikaze mission and diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was indeed dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before me so just left the dream to run its course while absorbing the novel experience. My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to change to suit your whim or is it a case of practice makes perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams are like mine? Or maybe my will power is feeble compared with my imaginative power and others have a more dominant will? Anyone had a similar experience?
