After my vacation at the sea I realised that water is my ultimate reality-checker. There is just no way I can submerge in my dreams and this way I can recognise when I’m dreaming. Now I’m back in the city so I will no longer have the opportunity to go for a swim but I think I found a solution… I’ll make a new post about this topic.

Yes, it’s harder to float in lakes.

The state of passivity that you’re talking about I think it’s quite common and quite useful from an evolutionary point of view. I once had built an entire fake city filled with fake people in my teenage years. Needless to say I was heavily depressed since I valued more the dream state than waking life. It’s all about balance.

Interesting, it’s like the subconscious puts the dangerous stuff beneath the water surface. For a long time there was a conflict from me and it. The subconscious tries to let me experience (and therefor act) the dream if as I was awake. I on the other hand want to have control over it. In this journey I’ve learned that instead of trying to establish dominance it’s a matter of cooperation. But still my subconscious won’t let me face my greatest fears.

In waking life I dive with no problems up to 3 meters below the sea level. Once I dove into Krk lake, crystal clear water aside, it was an amazing experience since buoyancy was weaker.

I see. I’m used to mastodon instances. I’ve tried tu use it and it doesn’t work on Memmy for ios :( I’m gonna leave a review for the developers

Yesterday I made a community for lucid dreamers. If you’re interested https://discuss.online/c/lucid_dreamers

I don’t understand, it’s my first day here on lemmy. Should I have posted a different link?

I can relate. I spent some teenage years in depression because I valued dreams over waking life.

I made a community specifically for lucid dreaming (not for dreams in general) https://discuss.online/c/lucid_dreamers

I made one today! https://discuss.online/c/lucid_dreamers

I noticed that there is no community for onironauts. Iwish to create it since i’m skilled and passionate about it. But when I click the “create” button nothing happens. No error messages appear, the button just spins for a fraction of a second leaving everything as is. Can someone help me?
