I have LDs since I was under 6 years old, but without a practice they were very rare. Maybe I got enlightened in past life? Lucid dreaming: The spiritual freedom of doing what is wanted. Enlightenment(s): Placebo, crutch. Surrender to be a vegetable. Another religion. Relativity like evolving from maggot to a fly.

Can you lucid-dream at night while maintaining high consciousness at daytime?

@bazera I have watched "Behind Her Eyes (TV series)" and learned the highly effective RC-technique from it: "counting of fingers". It is less exposed to that "mechanical" issue than "Am I awake?". I do it at day and night, and (in conjunction with WBTB) have much success recently. It's funny when lying on my sofa I at first, count 6 fingers on my hand, and just after, on the same hand already 7, or 4.

WBTB reduces my sleep time, therefore I decided to watch movies instead. My recently watched: Abstraction (2024) https://youtu.be/aApRbX5aaHw https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36757873 Lucid State (2025) https://youtu.be/0qgSIGAhPyM https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39306292

@Inliytened1 is right about quality. Despite this forum contains "Lucid Dreaming" in description, when I want to get something new on that topic I go to dreamviews and reddit. But here I might learn more about a spiritual connection to that topic, plus, many people are here, as for a forum.

@Someone here, a guru is a potential host for demons to control you through. Do not legalize the evil.

@Oppositionless, the deep sleep state is needed to rest.

"You would think... Nightmarish dream are your subconscious fears expressing themselves" Not at all, non-lucid dreaming is the state where we are vulnerable to attacks of evil power. I am spiritual by the way, and wouldn't accept any guru.

@Someone here , what a youtube channel did make you believe in all that surrealism? @Jowblob , I wouldn't decide to drive a car in that state.

My FB after I started reading this topic

why then do i have to regularly maintain the false scenes where the girl from my past is my girlfriend each time while gooning?

When I watched "Ghost Whisperer", I was talking with ghosts in my dreams. When "Z Nation", zombies haunted me. When read practical experiences from the book of Michael Raduga, I became lucid spontaneously. All depends on how much you absorb the movies/series and how interesting they are to you. One thing - sometimes the dreams may be more like dreams about lucid dreams, unlike with WBTB technique. I'm not going to stop on these 2 movies.

the baseline is an illusion. Altered states are just states of consciousness. That you are writing a post in this state does not mean it's the baseline. We have about 1.5 to 2 hours per night: https://chatgpt.com/share/69a18724-ee2c-8010-8bbd-3a6062e2bb3a When I am practicing a dream recall, it is my baseline, when meditation with hypnagogic visions it's too.

I'm not going to teach you what is truth, just need a fun. The inner voice told me: You cannot see what I see. You're just a small part of the infinite world of live ones. The evil tries to make you believe in what its bots are spreading. You're isolated from the rest of live ones.

my cat sees dreams and loves me, why isn't she spiritual?

there is no truth in your head when all are attacking you, and you can't defend yourself

Sometimes, at normal times, when I’m not doing a "Free Breathwork", I see one blue spot, often small in a random place in my vision. It lasts approximately 1 second. When I’m doing a "Free Breathwork", the vibration rises from my arms and legs, and when it reaches my head, I begin to see tens of such spots at once, with my eyes open and closed. I guess it's an optical effect in my physical eyes and brain, because I see the same thing all the time. If these are not hallucinations, then why don't other people report the same blue spots, or am I not the only one?

@Jannes Unconscious people are dangerous even with empty heads.
