Welcome to the suggestion box for World of Lucid Dreaming. I look forward to receiving your:

--> Article suggestions - what do you want to know? I write articles based on my ongoing experiences of lucid dreaming, any gaps I can identify in the beginner knowledge base, and any specific questions that arise among lucid dreamers. If you want to see a specific topic covered in depth, this is the place to ask for it.

--> Website feedback - where did I mess up? Eagle eyes can tell me about any spelling errors, typos or factual inaccuracies you've found on the website. Tell me how I can improve your experience of the site - whether it's fixing a technical bug or introducing a new form of media. I love to get detailed feedback so I can improve the way things work.

--> Joint venture ideas - will your idea blow my mind? If you work in the sleep and dreams niche and want to work together, tell me how we can arrange that. I am seeking genuinely valuable opportunities to share audiences, run interviews and guest articles, and think outside the box when it comes to new online projects. If your idea is top secret you can always PM me, otherwise please introduce yourself and what you stand for below.

--> Reader testimonials - what do you think of my product? If you've purchased and enjoyed my digital course on lucid dreaming (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/lucid-dreaming-fast-track.html) and feel all soft and gooey about it, please send me your testimonial. Your feedback helps me convey the benefits of the course from a user perspective. I truly appreciate original, honest reviews to share with my readers.

Thanks for your suggestions. As forum members you are my most dedicated readers and I really value your feedback and opinions.

Hiya Rebecca, I really love your website and e-book! One of the best out there. One thing I would like to see more of is interviews from experienced lucid dreamers. Reading all the interviews from sites like Wagonner's is great for providing extra excitement and motivation (and as lucid dreamers we probably know that excitement about lucid dreaming tends to result in more lucid dreams). It would be also great to view some more of your adventures in the lucid world (if they are not too personal of course :) And I'm loving the new lucid dream flying video! Like I said, your book and website are fantastic and the amount of work you must put into it really shows. Now for the eagle eyes.... in the section on 'Lucid Dreaming Subliminal Video', the link above spells dreaming incorrect. All the best!

Thanks Sam! Great suggests!

I'll keep hunting for potential interviewees and will definitely post some more of my own lucid dreams and maybe some illustrations.

Got the typo - good eye ;)

You have the best ld site out there.Ive advertised this site to all my friends and in a presentation to a class on a memorable experience (Lucid dreams). If you would like to maintain this, keep up this forum. Its a great idea. Perhaps if you make an app or a youtube channel you could expand the site even more. A great article suggestion is that you could tell a step by step guide into self hypnosis and what to suggest to your subconscious once in a hypnotised state. I have an entire book on self hypnosis and I know the steps to doing it but the lucid dreaming hypnosis suggested doesnt work.

On your article on paranormal activity, ive read about an experiment where two people were put into two dark rooms each with two digital clocks in front of them. Both had identical magnetic pulses acting on their brainwaves from the same origin. One person had a light flashed in front of him. The other person saw the flash and recorded the time. Both saw the flash within the same minute even though only one was directly seeing the light. This is a common belief of why geese migrate in such perfect patterns. Scientists believe the earths magnetic pulses are keeping geese migrations in sync through brainwave activity. The light flash was only seen in a part of the guys brain that was not able to be consciously accessed. Assuming a person is able to access more than 16% of their brain capacity in a lucid dream, we may not be as far away from a real life inception machine as we think.

To improve your site, could you create a downloadable version of all the subliminal lucid dreaming induction videos? Im farely sure that .mp4 and .mov files are able to support 60 fps. I figured you could easily publish these considering theyre already free to the public.

While on the subject of downloads, what frequency would you recomend for binaural beats when trying to have a MILD or WILD. Ive found a great binaural beats app on the app store yet I dont know what frequency to set it to.

Hi, first off, I love your site. It's very informational and I'm working my way to my first lucid dream. I currently am frequently performing reality checks and such. The reason I am making a post here is because of your Inception article. You say that the limbo is caused by dying in a dream within a dream. This is incorrect. The reason is because Cobb and the others are sedated, so they are constantly avoiding Fischer's dresm guards, even in the first dream layer. You should reword it saying that they must avoid dying because they are sedated.

Thank you for your amazing website, I just wanted there to be clear information

I have a YouTube channel and aim to keep adding videos as/when I have time: http://www.youtube.com/user/WorldofLucidDreaming

I will also look into doing more on self hypnosis. I have released a Lucid Dreaming Hypnosis MP3 if you haven't already seen it: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/hypnosis/index.html

Thanks, I'll look into downloadable versions.

Re: binaural beats. It should move through various frequencies, starting at a waking beta frequency and moving down through alpha and into theta. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I don't program brainwave entrainment myself so I wouldn't like to just make it up! The best use for binaurals is in meditation; whatever gets you into that deep meditative state will help with lucidity practice.

I'm not sure I understand you fully about Inception. Can you elaborate? I would like to clear it up if I've mis-spoken in my article, but I'm not sure how to re-word based on what you've said. What has sedation got to do with the dream guards? Eg, if they were sedated in their own lucid dream, could they not still go into multiple dream layers and therefore into limbo? (I think I need to watch the movie again....)

Lucky for me I can afford to be wrong about speculative fiction :D

For example, in the first scene, Arthur died in the second dream layer then went directly into the first dream layer. You word the article saying limbo is caused by dying in a dream within a dream.

Sure, good idea...

DEILD = Dream-Exit Induced Lucid Dream - An opportunistic approach using WILD, ideal for light sleepers. There is already a bit on Dream Re-Entry in the guest article linked below, but I will write my own tutorial too: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/lucid-dreaming-app.html I'll post here when it's ready.

FILD - Finger Induced Lucid Dream - A variation on WILD for when you're very tired. I'm yet to use this successfully (mostly for lack of trying) so I won't write it up until I've seen it work myself. In the meantime here is a Wiki tutorial on it: http://lucid.wikia.com/wiki/Finger_Induced_Lucid_Dream

--> Joint venture ideas - will your idea blow my mind?

Rebecca,

I'm a film major about to graduate soon. I do various video work, from short films to commercials, editing and all. I'm opening my own business soon and will be slowly acquiring better equipment (HD cameras, sound, etc.) You probably already have a video-production person for your videos, but if you have any ideas of something I could film for your website let me know (considering only the projects I could make while being in a different country than you). I wouldn't mind making LD related videos for free when I'm not busy. So far, I've only done one project that's LD related. It's about false awakenings. The youtube link is on my signature. I'd film more about LDs, but I lack the ideas of something to do that hasn't been done before. Just something for you to keep in mind in the future! And if you have a cool film idea that you don't necessarily want on your website, still let me know because I enjoy creating videos!

As for website suggestions, I only have one and it's about the forum page. Can you add a new section for non LDs dream sharing? You may have not wanted the forum to get too off track from LDs, but sometimes it would be nice to share a unique dream that does not fall in the lucid category. Thanks!

Ok let's talk! I have two video guys at the moment, Pete at Creative Media does animation, and Chris at Coast Media does live filming and production. But as a growing brand I definitely need more video content for YouTube and would love some helping making more viral videos. I'll PM you some ideas ;)

I'll also create a new sub-forum for sharing non-lucid dreams and see how it goes.

I received the following in the Lucidity Institute's newsletter the other day:

NOVADREAMER V.2 NEWS: After 5 years of testing, we are ready to release the NovaDreamer to the world. Stay tuned, and expect announcements in June, and in the Live Webinar starting next week.

And buried in a comment on their Facebook page (posted in January):

Re: your question, "Hi i am wondering about ur novadreamer device, where can i get one?"

Right now, our training programs include the use of NovaDreamer devices during the programs. Upcoming programs are: (Oct 20-29, 2012 in Hawaii) and (not yet announced, June 30-July 8 in San Diego). We hope to make this a consumer product again soon, but need to have the investment and business structure in place to support such a venture, which has been tricky in these economic times.

We would love to see you at one of our programs. We will announce other lectures, workshops, and educational products both on Facebook and on our website as they become available. Please see http://www.lucidity.com/MailingListForm.html to sign up for our email list (no spam!).

Pleasant dreams!

Just a bit more info to add to the page about what might be going on.

hi Rebecca!

your forum is wonderful! but i have a suggestion for your forum, why don't you make a "lounge" thread where online users can talk 2 each other i'm just thinking, most of the threads here have only 1 topic i think the lounge is the perfect place where LDers can hangout here

Dear Rebecca, Hello. this website has been all i needed to accomplish already 3 lucid dreams! there is so much on here! its like going on a treasure hunt! anyways, i was thinking that maybe you could add an article for the beginners about what it feels like looking back on a lucid dream once you've woken up. being a beginner myself, i was very confused my first and maybe second lucid dream. i kept questioning myself. i mean, i knew i was lucid dreaming but i just kept questioning myself when i woke up. i was wondering if it always is like this? is this how you felt when you woke up from your first lucid dream? maybe you could explain things like that. its just that was one thing i was wondering about and i think an article would be helpful to beginners like me out there. it could be titled something like, "looking back on a lucid dream." once again i really want to thank you for all that you have provided for me.

thank you!

Hi Rebecca, I've recently learnt about lucid dreaming and I have become obsessed with it, and it has given me motivation to finally get rid of my insomnia. I was hoping you could write an article about all the kinds of regular foods (not dream herbs) that can help with lucid dreaming, memory for dream recall and help to sleep. There has been a bit of talk about it on the forum, but a article bringing it all together would be great. Thanks.

Dear Rebecca,

I assume that's your name...(tell me your first if I'm wrong...or not:). I've had lucid dreams ever since I was little, but it wasn't until a year or so ago that I learned I was "lucid" dreaming. When I found your web site I was unbelievably excited...kinda like how someone believes in bigfoot feels when they get proof (picture or something). I discovered something amazing that I knew existed...but I didn't know if anyone else did. I started out with many problems, for example I couldn't remember my dreams. I did TONS of research, and nothing worked as well as when I finally gave in and got myself a dream journal. (I'm lazy, so I thought: "TO MUCH WORK"). Within three days I was significantly remember more...images, sounds, scenes, feelings...etc. Within a week I was able to remember 90% of one of my dreams. The next week I was remember MULTIPLE dreams...it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I woke up feeling so...happy! That's the only way I can describe it. My dreams were more interesting than any movie or book I'd ever read...and later on I found they were more meaningful to me too. Only problem was...I did want to wake up (I'd actually groan and go 'please, no no no. Don't let it end'). I wasn't even lucid dreaming yet! I got addicted really fast and was trying ever night for a lucid dream. I even squeezed in my first nap in YEARS hoping it would help. Of course, as stubborn as I am, I wanted to succeed right away. I wanted to do all the HARD things to accomplish, and most of all I wanted to have a WILD. Yeah, I know right? (The closest I ever got was when I read a certain article on the Internet... You can check it out: http://www.dreamviews.com/wiki/WILD-The-Five-Phases-Of-WILD ). Never happened, so eventually I started trying the most basic things...I was tired of failing. I tried multiple techniques over short periods of time. I've researched EVERYTHING on the Internet about lucid dreaming and how to improve it. This was one of the only other GOOD ones other than your web site: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3E88DE0B45599E3&annotation_id=annotation_283331&feature=iv) I had had two lucid dreams when I was really young and didn't know what lucid dreaming was...afterwards, I'd had 3-4 over a span of a few months. When I stopped trying so hard I had more success. But you see, in my first really successful lucid dream...even I started to annoy myself with all my requests and questions to my subconscious...I started to add on "please..." over and over when the results started to delay. When I woke up I was slightly worried I might have just condemned myself to a LONG time of non-lucid dreaming. It's never good when you start to annoy YOURSELF. I was kinda right. More recently (months ago) I had a lucid dream, and I called out something "what I say shall become reality"...I tried things out like "freeze time", that only half worked. It was like they were all acting and had froze mid-step for a picture...because they went right back to normal a second later. I said it again and they stayed still...but I didn't feel like time was frozen, it felt like they were still acting or something. But one women on the street refused to stay still and started talking to me...TRUST me, the short conversation didn't hold any meaning or relation to my life. I said "give me a telescope" and after a moment of silence, closing my eyes, and trying to imagine it in my hands it appeared against my chest...covered in something fuzzy, which I hadn't been imagining. Everything didn't work as effectively as I'd hoped. I've tried to imagine something behind me and turn around, but nothing was ever there! Even more recently (days ago) I briefly became lucid, and went up to a guy and was trying to tell him this but he acted like I was acting slightly crazy and then distracted me...and I lost lucidity. It was like my subconscious was trying to prevent me. In another recent dream the same thing happened, but instead of telling anyone, all I remembered was I wanted to fly. I jumped and I jumped and I jumped, but I never floated down. I tried to imagine what it would feel like and tried to believe I could do it...but that just left me more shocked that I wasn't. Now I feel frustrated, I can't remember my dreams like I used to and I don't know how to DO anything in my dreams. I can't conjure up anything...so now what? I'm having a hard time remember what I want to do in my dreams, and I can no longer act to change my dream...even when I'm fully lucid. I'm stuck. Can you help/explain what's happening?

Rebecca,

Thanks for the great site and forum and congrats on the new baby!

I was noticing the high frequency of what appear to be almost identical problems/questions posted. I've answered some of the sames ones quite a few times now. Some of them are probably covered in the FAQs, you would know better on that. I was wondering if a sort of troubleshooting guide could be made up that handles some of these basic, repetitive problems people are reporting. A lot of it looks like people just expect instant results. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, I would be willing to help with this although my knowlege is limited since I am somewhat of newb myself.

I have a great suggestion for this website:

"live chat" feature.

For example: Facebook has it in the lower right hand corner. If someone is online at the same time you are, just let them know with a click and if they respond you can then talk and discuss in real time without having to wait for responses to your messages. We can be off-the-cuff and don't worry about spell checking sometimes and talk from the heart.

And we can even organize a once a month live discussion about a certain topic if we want. (with a moderator of course because some people will always ruin a party and type nonsense....)

I think it would be a great feature and would love to live-chat with a group of people about a lucid dream topic. I'm not a techy so I don't know how to do it, but I am sure it is possible, but also if we were to have a group discussion LIVE it may be logistically hard to organize, but I would love it and think it is worth a try and hope you consider this!

You are right, we could use another means to have a live chat on a different website or application. Is skype always a one on one conversation though or is there a way to 'conference call'? I would prefer typing anyway for now, (i'm a little shy) but if there was ever a strong enough desire we could certainly organize and talk live by another means other than this website. Sometimes in this day and age I forget about some of those old inventions we once had... what was that 'live-chat' device called again... oh yea, THE TELEPHONE! (but skype is free)

I have regular conference calls on Skype but I dont set them up. Skype is free if you have a net access and data to use but I think uses little so all good there. Dont worry about being shy, LOL - just a little thing to get over. Have a think about it and in time if you or some others want I can call and I will look to see how to set up a conference call.

If it is a group, I'll feel more comfortable because I don't have to worry about awkward silence. There is a time-difference issue, but still a window of opportunity, and I won't waste time talking about it here. We should start a knew topic about it.

I am interested. I just don't like to be on the spot is all. But a group discussion sounds like fun.

Dear Rebecca,

I have a suggestion for a new topic in this forum: DREAM CHARACTERS. There is so much to talk about. I started a post in the general lucid discussion forum, but I feel it is only scratching the surface and there is so much more to talk about when it comes to DC's. It's not just a minor part of lucid dreams, but in my opinion a MAJOR one. They have a big influence and leave a lasting impression.

There is so much to talk about. All the different types, what form they take, what they say, how they say it, who are they, why...... the list of questions goes on. It's big enough for its own category in my opinion.

So, I humbly suggest a new topic-category purely devoted to dream characters.

Thanks in advance for giving this any consideration, HAGART (Michael Scannell is my real name.)

Rose, please don't hijack this thread! Your question is about lucid dreaming and is not a suggestion to improve the forums. I've moved your question to the Beginners Forum where hopefully someone will be able to answer. I myself can't promise to answer everyone's questions, as there are literally thousands..... ;)

Thanks for making the new Dream Character topic. I feel it will take off and become popular, but even if not, at least there is a specific place for it now and more people will start their own threads about it because the place for it now exists and prompts them to take more notice of dream characters.

I suggest adding a topic called "Dream Science" for those who wish to discuss engage in discussing the purely scientific aspects of dreaming. It would kind of be a counterweight to the "Paranormal Activities" section which I think is also good. Some of the more scientific minded people on the forum would probably appreciate it.

I third it :D .. Maybe thou title something else other then only dream science thou so it can cover all the aspects of science topics which have been being discussed on this site lately eg paranormal, do we exist outside of our bodies?, maybe there is even some strange science out there on if God exists or not, quatum physics science too is coming up a lot at this site.. are we creating our reality? :D

I love interesting science

Is there any way you could add a "like" button to the forum, so that when someone posts a comment that someone likes or agrees with they don't actually have to post a comment saying "I like that.". It's a small thing but hey, why not? (If it's possible :lol: )

Yeah that'd be a really good idea! :D I went into the topic 'questions for Rebecca' then i looked at the last post date and realized it was so long ago, then i realized the topic was locked :o Where are you Rebecca? :( And this may be a big ask, but since Rebecca seems to be so busy with her daily life, could an experienced lucid dreamer maybe post a topic called ' questions for (name)'?? Just because Rebecca is obviously busy and me and others are surely to have soooooo many questions :D Thank you if someone actually agrees with me :lol:

A lot of the people using this forum have been talking about a DILD method called SSILD. Perhaps you should consider doing a tutorial on it so that when people browse your site they can find it easily and decide if they want to try it. I only found out about it because of this forum. It's a great technique. It would be great if it could become a bit more popularized. :)

Hello,

I have a suggestion which I think will be a great addition to this forum:

AN INTRODUCTION SECTION.

Up till now, most people have no choice but to introduce themselves in the 'Beginner' section. (I know I did). Even if we are not true beginners to the world of lucid dreaming but new to... "The World Of Lucid Dreaming Website".

Regardless of where you are in your pursuit of the lucid dream.... there needs to be a place to introduce yourself in this forum regardless of whatever 'level' you are at.

The default is the 'Beginner' section, you have no choice.

JeJe made a post about 'new members introducing themselves' and it got so many hits. It was a great idea. And there is a need for this. We need a better place for it.

I suggest:

"INTRODUCTION SECTION". A new forum category......

We do have lots of experienced lucid dreamers around here and they do chime in with advice when they see a good question that needs answering. My advice is keep posting and try to write post titles that grab their curiosity and encourage engagement with lots of members - this is what creates a popular thread!

If any experienced lucid dreamers wants to create their own Ask Me Anything thread I'd highly encourage it :D

This has already been made so my suggestion is everyone join the Lucid dream chat box! :lol: It's in my signature down below vv Guitar48300 made the chat room so he gets full credit ;) It will allow real time talking instead of writing all the info as you can in one post and waiting for a reply. Also, so the chat doesn't get PACKED full of random comments and words, we can all talk about one topic at a time and everyone can talk about their experiences and thoughts on it. You don't have to go by that but it's just my opinion on what what we should do so there aren't 10 different people having different conversations at a time. Hope i see you all on there :D -Shane

Hello, Rebecca! I love your website, it is so helpful. I had my first lucid dream the very night I started reading your articles! So thanks for that. I'm really new to this forum, so I could be way out of line by saying this. But it seems like the 'dream science' topic isn't very popular and there aren't a lot of discussions going on there. (It could be that it's just a fairly recent addition to the forum, I'm not sure). My suggestion is to replace the topic "Dream Science" with "The Human Mind," like the category on your website! Thanks again for all your fascinating and helpful articles :)

They are the same thing. You say Tomato, I say... Tomato... DANG! That doesn't work when typed, but pretend I pronounced it differently! :lol:

You are right though. It is not that popular. It's hard to start a discussion there, because I feel I need to be well informed.

However, anyone can take an article by Rebecca, (which is almost always dream science) and continue a dialogue in that section and it would be worth while. There was a very interesting article. She wrote about a condition where some people live every waking hour feeling like they are dead and have a different sense of self awareness than most of us. That ties to lucid dreaming because self awareness in the dream is the key. What is the part of the brain responsible for that?

I like that sort of talk, but don't have the answer, but then again, none of us here really do, do we? I should practice what I preach and start a science discussion, informed or not, because I think it is important.

Let's try and breath some life into that section!

on Aug 21, 2013, 07:33 PM

I have a good suggestion, Rebecca. how about a article named "Do not be afraid"? it should list some reasons why to not be afraid in lucid dreams, and how you conquered your fear in lucid dreams. (If you ever had one..)

on Aug 23, 2013, 08:41 PM
#63

I'm new here, Rebecca, but as I've noted have been into dreaming for many years, though with limited success. Finally realized that it was necessary (for me at least) to resolve some issues in waking life. That said, I feel the time draws close for it all to break open. I think it would be nice to have a forum/topic where people of a certain geographic area (I for instance am in the mid Atlantic area of the United States) could post and if they chose meet in waking reality to foster group dreaming.

Thanks for your beautiful website.

Hi, Rebecca!

I'm eagerly looking into lucid dreaming, and I'm a newcomer to it. I was referred to your site (which has been very helpful, thus far) where I found out about the potential benefits which got me excited about it. I downloaded your ebook today, but when reading 'The Art of Lucid Dreaming', all of the pages were blank/missing.

I don't know if it was a problem with the download or what, but I wish to address this as soon as possible so I can get started. This is regrettably inconvenient, and I'm sorry to have to bring this your way.

Please, let me know what can be done. Thank you!

hello! today while searching around on the internet i discovered that youtube is now compatible with videos up to 60 fps. i like to watch the peter casale NLP videos but i have to go to my desktop to watch them rather than being able to see them as i am laying in bed. Only the first video was ever posted on youtube because the second one had too high of an fps. i use the videos often and found my best results happened when i went directly from watching the second part to going to bed. For other people and myself out there using iphones, i was wondering how possible it would be to post the second part of the video set on youtube so that we can watch it anywhere?

Thanks for your site Rebecca. I've been looking for an answer to my sleep "problem" for a while now and this is the first time I've heard of perma-lucid dreaming. I think this may describe my situation. I can understand the value and beauty of lucid dreaming when it is a decision someone can take to enhance their dream experiences. However, my experience is that I am consciously dreaming all night long, without reprieve, and it is exhausting. I am not fully awake but I'm aware that I'm both awake and dreaming at the same time. Often the dream experience repeats over and over and over and I'm aware of this and frustrated that I can't get out of the cycle but can't seem to escape. For example, I'll be doing some puzzle (say a crossword) and I'll find a solution and then the puzzle sort of resets and I have to look for the solution again and again. This can go on for hours. I KNOW that I'm awake though. I constantly have to turn over in bed, possibly a hundred times a night. It's definitely not insomnia but I'm definitely awake all night every night. I'm also aware that the dreaming is a continuous experience that carries on as it was going even as I know that I am turning over in bed. Before this started, I had some very disturbing experiences with what I think is sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. During the experiences, which happened during afternoon naps, I was convinced that I was fully conscious and could see my bedroom exactly as it is but I was obviously not fully conscious because what I experienced was more like an out of body experience. It really freaked me out and I had to stop taking naps. I need to find out more about perma-lucid dreaming and will search for information, but if you can point me in a direction I would appreciate it. Thank you! Lisa

Rebecca,

Just recently, every time I try to post a new lucid dream on this site, it gets taken down. Why? Has someone been complaining about the graphic sex? I never had a problem with it before. The titles were "That sexy Mr. Bean" and That Sexy Dr. McCoy.

Thanks!

Hello i have a suggestion if you are willing to listen :D

I think there should be an art category... I think this because lucid dreaming or just dreaming in general can be a major inspiration for artists. Personally I like to draw but im new to lucid dreaming so im not exactly an expert :P

I know there is already a sub-thread but i truly love looking at lucid dream inspired art so i would love for there to be a main thread on it, if not just to inspire more people to create art based on there lucid dreams (I really love looking at the art :P)

Thanks for reading :D

Hi Rebecca,

I was reading about astral projections and how to achieve/perform them. Well I would say at first I was really convinced that astral projections are real. But after reading your post about "Lucid Dreams", I got really confused and then I thought of a way through which we can actually check if astral projections are real or not.

Lets say that there are two persons who can perform lucid dreams / astral projections very well. In fact they can do it whenever they want. Now you assign each of these two persons a random number between 1 and a million. Now they will be asked to perform their lucid dreams / astral projections at the same time and in their dreams if they can meet(about which I have no idea since I have never performed a lucid dream) each of them can tell their corresponding assigned number to the other person since according to the astral projections' theory both of them will be in the same 4D dimension. Later on we can check if they can tell the other person's assigned random number or not.

But I must say that since I have never performed a lucid dream it sounds completely ridiculous to me, but maybe it has some sense or maybe not. I am just sharing my thoughts hoping it might clear out the confusion in my mind regarding astral projections being real.

But anyway, Thank You for reading such a ridiculous theory.
