The Lucid Dreaming Pack Quotes

“Does our interest in calling the dream sacred simply reflect our inability to understand it? By discouraging conscious interaction with the dream, we limit our ability to improve our understanding of it.”

The Lucid Dreaming Pack

“In a lucid dream we have the ability to choose and some dreamers do, indeed, choose to escape into an adventure. For example, a lucid dreamer may decide to ignore an angry dream figure and fly away instead, thereby avoiding the issue represented by the figure. More experienced lucid dreamers, however, would stop and engage the dream figure to find out more about the situation.”

Even though it's a part of us, it exists as terra incognita or, perhaps more appropriately, psyche incognita – we simply have drawn a sketchy map of the psyche and marked a large segment in frightful red letters, 'Mind Unknown'. We will never develop a truer conceptualization of the subconscious and unconscious if we only dance around it or consider it from the safe distance of the waking world.”

The Lucid Dreaming Pack

“To maintain the lucid dream state, you must modulate your emotions.”

The Lucid Dreaming Pack

“We will never develop a truer conceptualization of the subconscious and unconscious if we only dance around it or consider it from the safe distance of the waking world.”

“Having been warned not to do so, I made no effort to try to raise the serpent fires of the kundalini.
