well…
What do u expect than?
As Daniel said, the kids he know have no trouble with going lucid.
And I can speak for myself about my first years with LD’s. Of course, I didn’t know anything about it and it just happened spontaneously one night.
After that night though, every time I wanted to go lucid, I did.
Not even once I didn’t.
It wasn’t any harder than walking.
find a child , and im not talking about a 15 or 13 year old
Find a 8-10 year old child and test the validity of this.
However, it is very delicate as when you talk to the child, it may impose on his mind a certain limit. Just ask a child if he was at anytime during a dream was aware of the fact that he is dreaming.
If he says yes, you can ask him if he is still doing it.
Don’t ask him questions like
Can you do it if you want to , as that suggests that there is a difficulty in achieving it. Instead , just tell him, please do it again tonight and tell me how it was, since I am bla bla bla…
Do not suggest in any way the difficulty you may be experiencing in achieving lucid dreams. For these few moments when you are talking with the child, pretend that Lucid Dreaming is easier than opening your eyes, do not tell him how easy it is either, just as you won’t tell him how easy it is to open your eyes. If you would ask him to open his eyes, you would just say:
Can you please open your eyes?
Do the exact same thing.
If the child says no, it may be harder to get some compelling evidence from him, but you can still just tell him he should do it as it is fun (while maintaining the it’s easier than opening your eyes attitude)
the thing that makes it so hard to understand for most people is that they don’t understand the delicate nature of the mind.
The implications of a sentence you heard when you were 4 years old may twisted your life completely but still most people think they’re just the way they are.
How many people can truly say that when they wake up in the morning, they choose what they do.
Do you really consider all the possibilities you have every moment of your life?
Most people, as they reach the age of 15 already have something in mind that they think they should do.
They already plan to go to college, get a job etc… or whatever it is they may think they want to do .
They never even stop to consider doing whatever they sincerely feel like.
every person can go and live in a farm, on a deserted island or recluse in a mountain, live in a snowy mountain village, go on a cruise and be a sailor, write stories, paint, whatever it is… Im not saying any of these are the ‘right’ thing to do.
Im saying that most people live their life just the way they were told to.
Not because it’s better for them, but because it is implanted on their SC mind, because they have never been told to dream of infinite possibilities, they have never been told to just go out and do as they please.
Imagine being born in a place no one tells you anything except for fun stories, jokes, beautiful writings , paintings and music.
Do you think that in this kind of world, people will behave so much alike one another? Do you think that in such a world, people will live every day like the previous one?
Do you think you will want to do what it is you want to do now?
It is not because you are different, you are still you. It’s just that the influence around you is different. You may decide to give and live in the wild with the animals, or whatever it is you will find joy in.
Why is it that most people coming from the same sociologic - economic background will generally lead a same life, eat (generally) the same food, wear (generally) the same clothes, talk (generally) the same words, and do (generally) the same deeds. It is because they (generally) think the same thoughts, and that is because their mind is exposed to (generally) the same content.
A kid to a well materialized family with a lawyer mom and a doctor dad will probably go to college, have some degree, go and apply for a certain job, make money and lead generally the same life as others born and raised in that situation.
Whereas a child born into a family that travels around the world with a circus, will probably lead a very different life, and another child born into a circus family will probably lead a very similar life to this child.
They will probably never consider going to college and having a degree.
Neither will the lawyer’s kid ever consider going and traveling with a circus.
It is not because that is what they are, nor is it because that is what they find joy in. The lawyer kid may enjoy his life 1000 times more if he was living in a circus, but he was programmed to lead a different life.
Much the same, the circus kid may enjoy a more western life while setting up a business for gas, but he will still probably not even consider the possibility of doing that.
The options are endless, yet most of us seem to settle for what we have, not because it’s the best we can have, but because we have taught and trained to believe that is what we ‘should’ do.
Much the same, a young child has barely anything programmed into his mind, he will probably just live these days making the most fun out of it as he can.
As we grow old , the programming becomes more and more precise and demanding and we being to walk further and further away from our sincere desires and just settle for what we have been taught to settle for.
That is why a child has no difficulties with lucid dreaming, because he hasn’t been taught the difficulties. Because there are no restrictions in that area to his mind and therefore no obstacles. The only obstacle is yourself.
As we grow old, we are told that we can’t do certain things, out belief in ourselves and the world around us decreases and we start to really believe in that.
It’s not that you have to be told: Lucid Dreaming is hard when you are 10 to have those limitations, general limitations are being programmed into our brains , such as having to work hard to gain anything.
People usually think they have to ‘suffer’ through something to gain from it.
But actually, the reality is quite the opposite. The more you have fun doing something, the more beneficial it will be for you.
So I can sum it up by saying:
Do you believe and consider waking up tomorrow and traveling with a circus?
If you don’t, then much the same way, you won’t consider the possibility of having a lucid dream easily.
it is not because people are bad, stupid, or anything like that.
It is simply because they are misdirected. The SC mind is a super computer sitting , recording and analyzing any experience you ever had, anything you ever saw, any feeling you ever had and every sound you ever heard. From that information, you move forward.
It then becomes easy to understand why we have so many limitations these days
Think about the world I wrote about a few lines up.
No limitations, no boundaries put into your brain. Will people still lead the same static , non fulfilling life they do nowadays?
I will now point out that everything I said is a generalization. Not all people are acting that way. Its just the way things are in modern society nowadays.
Furthermore, I wasn’t suggesting that anything people do is better than the other.
I was only suggesting that people do not stop and even think about what they can do.
Hope this helps
Peace
