OK Jeff, I'll amend my experiment! Give up all extraordinary powers EXCEPT if you feel a stronge urge to... After all, sex is one of the strongest subconscious drives thinkable, isn't it  ?

Yes, that's a good idea Jeff! Indeed, with "giving up extraordinary powers" I certainly didn't mean "being completely passive"! On the contrary, the experiment gives you a way of exploring all your creativity in solving problems. So when you meet a girl and you feel an urge, you could still take the challenge to use all "ordinary" means to reach your purpose, including actively trying to convince the girl, showing all your charms and so on. There is a lot of fun in using the "powers", but maybe LDing can also be used as a training ground for real life. Since you know you are dreaming, you have the advantage that you can freely try all kinds of strategies you would never try in real life because in a dream there is no big deal in failing.
In real life, we often prefer to choose what looks like the most easy way of handling things and most of the time this means we try to diminish the risk of failure with al means, even if we could be better off if we dropped our fear and try a more courageous strategy. In dreams, we just don't have any excuse to avoid risks, it just doesn't matter. And maybe, if we learn to see the foolishness of our fears, if we notice that there is no such thing as a failure only different ways that don't work, maybe one day we will start to be less conditioned by our fears in real life? So that's one of the main reasons I started this experiment, I am very curious if LDing can be more than just a Disneyland-in-brain, maybe LDing can have some real use for ordinary waking life... Don't forget we spend most of the time there!

One time I had an random LD and did not take any control at all.
I sat there watching it like it was a movie.
At one point in my dream I Got stuck in a pipe full of water.I got so scared that i woke up swetting like mad.But during the dream some things made my start laughing at myself.
Later I found out I was also laughing in my sleep.
But I must say it was fun.

In fact, I gave up all my ideas of experiments, and even much of my lucidity for maybe 2 years (1996/97), only wanting to see what would happen when letting the dream decide for me.
The result was... more extraordinary powers. Because the dreams made me do many things I could never think by myself. All the abilities I have now came from my dream self, not from my waking self.

I think this is an awesome idea.... I'm still working on being lucid... and whenever i'm lucid... I usually do something like flying or jumping or whatever before I can even think... or observe. I would love to be able to explore my dreams without ever changing them! I would also love to do whatever I think I can do... you find interesting places both ways..... so I'll be trying both.... someday!

Flying's easy. I'm trying to learn to walk, and also to see more detail. Going down to the simplest actions seems to make a more vivid sensory environment. I've tried eating things a couple of times, once a fruit and another time a piece of roofing tile. Neither were very nice.

yeah, that's a common myth... I've died too... my spirit would rise out of my body, float, and view the rest as a moviewatcher floating in the scene.

You don't die IRL when you die in a dream. When i was little i got lucid when i died because i knew it was a dream and i couldn't really die but then i would wake up... This happened several times aswell
