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.”

“Like all dreamers, if we purposely ignore a dream message, it likely returns in another dream or some other form.”

The Lucid Dreaming Pack

“No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream. Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.”

“The awareness needed for meditation, at least some forms of it, seems analogous to what lucid dreamers seek to develop. Meditators, especially beginners, have to learn a sense of balance when they turn inward; otherwise, they can fall asleep while meditating or become caught up and engaged with entrancing thoughts. Likewise, beginning lucid dreamers often hold focused awareness for only a short period of time. It takes practice and patience and poise to hold awareness consciously while being confronted with new thoughts or images—the products of the mind.”

The Lucid Dreaming Pack

“To counter our intense cultural conditioning, we must possess a sense of curious engagement to venture into the unconscious. 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.”

“There and then I decided that a very simple stop into insanity would be to get caught thus in the dream world and to remain unaware of the real surroundings. In such insanity there would be a lack of obsessional entities, a lack of physical causes for insanity, and a very definite breaking down of the faculty of memory.

I still wonder how many there are in our asylums who have slipped into the dream world by some accident, and have boon unable to return – have lost all memory of the real world surrounding them.

I also wonder if there is not some way to reach them in their dream world and bringthem safely back. How can we awaken them, with an awakening similar to that experienced each morning by most of us?”
