is it bad to lucid dream? I want to try it but I’m wondering if it would be a sin (I know I make alot of “is this a sin” threads). It seems so cool and I really wanna try it. Would it be bad to do so?
 
Talk to a priest about scrupulously. Lucid dreams are not a moral issue.
 
Not my point.

The church has no stance on lucid dreams.

If they concern you, you ought to speak to a priest about scruples, not an online forum.
 
oh… ok. I should have worded my question better I guess.

I personally dont have anything against it, I was wondering what the churches veiw on it so you pretty much answered my question. Thanks!
 
there is no catholic church view on the issue

lucid dreams are just dreams inside of dreams

mostly they are boring & about nonsensical topics
 
It reminds me of the book of Enoch and some of the seers, seeing things when they lie down.
 
ive never heard of that but it seems pretty intersting. ill have to look into it
 
you dream that you are dreaming; that is a lucid dream

not a big deal;

Sin has to involve the will and knowledge. Never mind the subject matter - if knowledge or will are missing, it is not sinful. Now, if you make an attempt to guide or influence your dreams either into or toward sinful matter, well…

…sin is sin.
 
I always took interest in astral voyaging and Lucid dreaming. I tried it, it took me three days of concentrated effort. Then it started happening by itself. But it scared me. I prayed to my guardian angel about its legitimacy.
Now i feel i dont want to do it, I felt that maybe I was taping somewhere not blessed for me.
I am convinced if God wants me to have a message or learn something, he would without me initiating any effort. Been in a state of grace is the main thing. Otherwise we r taping on some Yoga and oriental stuff.
One thing good i got out of it, is not to be scared when it happens and to always call the name of Jesus when I feel uncomfortable.

Click to expand...
It would be best if you allowed yourself to be spoken to by God through your dreams, rather than trying to control them. God can reveal many things to you in your dreams, if you are willing to listen.
 
dreams are just your mind re-organizing mental files during main system shut-down (ie sleep)

dreams are nothing to get really too worked up about

mostly they are scrambled nonsense

if God wishes to speak directly to you, He will do so in a clear, unambiguous manner

You can’t sin while you dream. Even in lucid dreams your mind is too groggy to have full knowledge or deliberate consent.

Having said that I’d avoid using lucid dreams to act out sex fantasies. Stick to flying and other things like that.
 
If I’m having a bad dream (violent,but rare) I will ask my self the question in the dream ,do I really want to know what happens next ? and I opt out.
 
in my experience; lucid dreams end when there is a logic conflict; ie how does this make sense?

then the logic part of the brain kicks in & the dream ends
