‎I want to drop everything and go to Mongolia, get lost somewhere in the steppe, and become a shepherd. Why Mongolia? Because I don't have the money for anywhere else. And Mongolia seems quiet and peaceful.

‎My flask is certainly whistling, but not in the way where you grab your savings and go wherever the wind takes you. I'm one of those people who locks themselves away at home and then starts listening to voices through the socket.

‎I want to induce a psychological fugue within myself, so that other personality can sorts it all out slickly, and I'll wake up in Norway a year later with a successful job and a residence permit.

Too bad that if my roof blows off, it'll be schizophrenia, not hypomania. Therefore, the other personality caused by the fugue will be just as defective as the current one.

What is lucid dreaming?

A lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. This awareness can allow the dreamer to control the dream, or at least to observe it from a detached perspective. Lucid dreams have been reported for centuries, and there are now a number of techniques that people can use to induce them.

History of lucid dreaming

The earliest recorded mention of lucid dreaming is in the Hindu text the Upanishads, which was written around 2000 BC. The Upanishads describe a technique called "dream yoga" that was used to induce lucid dreams.

In the 19th century, the French philosopher René Descartes wrote about his own experiences with lucid dreaming. Descartes believed that lucid dreams could be used to prove the existence of the soul.

In the 20th century, the psychologist Stephen LaBerge began to study lucid dreaming scientifically. LaBerge developed a number of techniques for inducing lucid dreams, and he also developed a way to measure brain activity during lucid dreams.

Benefits of lucid dreaming

There are many potential benefits to lucid dreaming. For example, lucid dreams can be used to explore one's subconscious mind, to learn new skills, or to simply have more fun. Lucid dreams can also be used to treat nightmares and other sleep disorders.

Here are some of the benefits of lucid dreaming:

Personal growth: Lucid dreams can be used to explore your subconscious mind and learn more about yourself. You can use them to confront your fears, work through emotional issues, and develop your creativity.

Problem-solving: Lucid dreams can be used to solve problems in your waking life. You can use them to practice new skills, test out ideas, and come up with creative solutions to problems.

Entertainment: Lucid dreams can be a lot of fun. You can use them to fly, have adventures, and meet interesting people.

Risks of lucid dreaming

There are also some potential risks associated with lucid dreaming. For example, some people have reported feeling anxious or even terrified during lucid dreams. In rare cases, lucid dreams can even lead to sleep paralysis, a condition in which the person is unable to move or speak after waking up.

Here are some of the risks of lucid dreaming:

Anxiety: Some people experience anxiety or even fear during lucid dreams. This is usually due to the fact that they are not used to being aware that they are dreaming.

Sleep paralysis: Sleep paralysis is a condition in which the person is unable to move or speak after waking up. It can be a frightening experience, and it is sometimes associated with lucid dreaming.

Psychological problems: In rare cases, lucid dreaming can lead to psychological problems such as psychosis or dissociation. However, this is very rare and only occurs in people who are already at risk for these conditions.

Techniques for inducing lucid dreams

If you are interested in trying lucid dreaming, there are a number of techniques that you can use. Some of the most common techniques include:

Reality testing: This involves checking throughout the day to see if you are dreaming. You can do this by trying to push your finger through your palm, looking at a clock twice to see if the time changes, or trying to read something twice to see if the words change.

Wake back to bed (WBTB): This involves waking up after 5-6 hours of sleep, staying awake for 20-30 minutes, and then going back to sleep. This increases your chances of having a lucid dream.

Mnemonic induction of lucid dreams (MILD): This involves repeating a mantra to yourself before you go to sleep, such as "I will know I am dreaming."

If you are persistent, you should be able to induce lucid dreams with some practice. However, it is important to remember that lucid dreaming is not a guarantee, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one person may not work for another.

Conclusion

Lucid dreaming is a fascinating phenomenon with both potential benefits and risks. If you are interested in learning more about lucid dreaming, there are a number of resources available online and in libraries.

Problems that me and maybe everyone else had with M.D.

Thought you were crazy.

Thought you were the only one.

If your md is based on pacing around in your room like an idiot (me),you happened to run into a wall or to slip on something. (I slipped on the floor,hit my foot (knee and everything) into the wall,and fell on the chair)

Panicked because you didn't make the difference for a few moments between your daydreams and reality and thought that you actually said or did something in front of the class/people in general.Then tried to calm yourself so you won't do anything that involves daydreaming until you get home.

Got caught by someone and tried to explain what in the world were you doing.

Lied about something because you thought it was real,then you realized that it was in your mind.

Had fake memories.

Got encouraged by your daydreams.

Had this for years.

Tried to find a cure.

Stopped the movie so many times because you wanted that scene or those scenes to be in your maladaptive.

Get obsessed with a show/book/anime that you may find annoying/nice just so you can go there in your head and be the smartass.

Did a lot of crossovers in your head.

Changed the actual character's name with your friend's.

Was late so many times because you did it until it was time to leave or even after.

Had to look for people,characters so your maladaptive would be better.

Thought you were good at something because you were in your maladaptive.
