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.”
“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.”
“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.

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.”
“To maintain the lucid dream state, you must modulate your emotions.”
“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.”
“You are what you let yourself become, said the inner advisor. That answer satisfied me completely: The living of life was an allowing of self.”
