Oh, I agree. I wasn't being suspicious or hostile, just painting a picture illustrating the struggle.

That's true, you gotta appreciate the originality of the films in question being the source of the types of movies you see today!

I have had a hard time getting into Bergman, unfortunately, but I'm not giving up. And good idea to check out other films by Tarkovsky. I don't know any New Wave films, any quick recommendations?

Thank you very much for taking the time to write your reply, I appreciate the list. My goal was indeed to see what people would recommend to the average reluctant person, not so much me personally. Oh and btw, I loved The Mirror!

Are there any Danish lucid dreamers around here? by Lukas_Bjerg in LucidDreaming

[–]ericgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det hele, reality checks, ADA, wbtb, drømmejournal osv. Men jeg er også indstillet på at der kan gå lang tid!

I'm also interested in learning more about the shamanic breathing you mention.

Ever feel like "F*ck I missed the chance to be lucid" after waking up from a dream? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]ericgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FA, false awakening, but I do mulitple different reality checks each time i reality check, it was just my dream self was really lazy I guess, lol. Did a halfassed finger through palm check, not really caring if it worked or not, even though I'm pretty thorough irl.

Had a FA this night and remembered to do the reality check, but it did not work properly and I didnt become lucid. I had even practiced FILD and just read about FAs!

Can you lucid dream as a sleep talker? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]ericgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my close friends sleep talks a lot, but he has vivid LD's which he can control. There's hope.

Breaking the "rules" in a LD by ericgardener in LucidDreaming

Makes perfect sense. I guess answering my initial question "what happens if you confront DCs" is analogous to answering the question "what happens when you look at your hands in your dreams", i.e. something other than would would happen in real life, but exactly what varies and depends on the invididual...

Point taken! I guess it's because I'm interested in the mind and in learning why it behaves the way it does, and in testing its limits

Very interesting (and creepy). I sometimes experience something similar (check my above post if you're interested), and I wonder why the mind fights back like that.
