Lucid Dream Fanatic

As part of my research I’m looking into lucid dreaming and the fanaticism surrounding that. To me it seems like a marvelous way to further explore the truths we’re so desperate to find, the relevance of sleep versus “life” and how dreams work… What role the mind plays and such.

What’s surreal about lucid dreaming, and the fact that it’s at the forefront of my research, is the role you can play within your own mind. Whether it’s all from your own p.o.v. or some sort of omnipotent focus, we all should aspire to know more about this.

Frederik van Eeden came up with the term “lucid dreaming” in his life during the late 1800′s/early 1900′s and since then tests and investigations have backed it up.

From what I can tell, lucid dreaming has two ways of being defined. The first is abbreviated to D.I.L.D. (DILD); dream initiated lucid dream… Meaning a normal bout of sleep has conjured up a dream and somehow you take hold of it from the get go. The other which has been abbreviated to W.I.L.D. (WILD) is a wake initiated lucid dream which happens whilst a dream continues on from being awake and a wake, almost to a day dreaming sort of stage. In their mind everything continues as normal, they may opt towards turning off an alarm, or conducting a simple task, and to them this seems completely real. It is in actual fact though just their dreams. When they awake, the individual is shocked to feel those results come forth, they were actually just dreamin?
