Lucid dreamers and their experiences
The lucid dreamers we have come across during our workshops and other projects have shared their experiences and applications of lucid dreaming with us. We like to share these inspiring thoughts with you below to give you more insight into the uses of lucid dreaming. As you will see, each person has a different view on the application, meaning and personal use of lucid dreaming. What's yours?

Every time I become lucid I'm fascinated about the nature of the mind that is creating this immersive world around me.
- Robert

Psychology always interested me. Now it is possible for me to literally walk through my own mind and explore what my mind is capable of.
- Peter
|
Lucid dreaming completely transformed the way I viewed my dreams. They're not stories that I passively watch from a distant view, lucid dreams are possibilities to consciously direct the experiences that I would like to have.

I have no interest in buying a Xbox or any other gaming device anymore. My mind is capable of creating an immersive multi-sensory world that is free of charge!
- Chris

At first I was skeptical but when I discovered the research done by the Lucidity Institute, I was immersed in the world of lucid dreaming and had my first lucid dream within a few weeks.

For the first time I am eager to go to bed and sleep. My friends ask me whether I have become addicted to sleeping in order to dream lucid all the time. Not at all, sleeping doesn't fascinate me. I like being awake. I like being conscious.
- Jessica

Lucid dreaming gave me the possibilities to have experiences I could not have dreamt about in the past. I don't need to dream lucid that much anymore. Occasionally I recognize a dream here or there and take off like a Super Girl would do. I do still journal my dreams every morning though.
- Michelle

I will never forget my first lucid dream. At one particular moment in the lucid dream I was talking to my mum and told her that she was part of my dream. Because she didn't really exist I tried to convince her she was just a dream character. Haha, a truly exhilarating experience.
- Brian

There is more to lucid dreaming than just experiencing superficial things like sex or flying. I gain a far more deeper understanding of my own existence and the reality that I perceive every day.
- Paul

Flying is my number one dream activity. After some practice runs I was able to invent all kinds of tricks in the air. No monster or fighter plane will ever catch up with me if I would encounter one in my lucid dreams!
- Jim
|
This might sound freaky, but really, I use my lucid dreams mainly for having any kind of sex I want. There can be occasions when it's even more satisfactory and even inspire myself to have more enjoyable sex in waking life.

I love playing music on my cello and rehearse performances in my lucid dreams. It still amazes me how my mind could so beautifully internalize the sound of music. Although it doesn't sound perfect, it feels like I am rehearsing at the actual stage where I need to perform tomorrow night. More self-confidence as a result.
- Anna
|
I'm a huge fan of Spiderman and use my lucid dreams to 'web' my way through my dreams. It gives me goose-bumps every time I swing through Times Square.
- Steve

|
Interestingly, I don't have lucid dreams if I don't feel healthy, relaxed and inspired having lucid dreams. Inducing lucid dreams is not like taking a pill. So no, I don't think lucid dreaming could be addictive in the sense of drug abuse. My lucid dreams occur when I am feeling happy, confident and strong about myself.
- Paula
|
It even got me to the point where I could express myself by telling about particular lucid dreams that I have had. I think dreams should be more integrated in every day life.
- John
|
|
There is this urge in me to live a different life than the one I am living now every day. Although I cannot tell what kind of transformation it needs, I do know that I can experiment and explore with different lifestyles in my lucid dreams. I was amazed at how quickly I gained insight into the things in my life that I had to change.
- Jane
|
Lucid dreaming teaches me to be more conscious about the things that I do and perceive in my dreamworld. It didn't take long for me to understand the same teachings apply to my waking life. I live a more lucid life now.
- David

I cannot stand the often esoteric atmosphere surrounding lucid dreaming. As if it were be some kind of mystical experience. Well, it is not. Lucid dreaming is a phenomenon that is extensively researched and free for anyone to enjoy in every way.
