This forum is primarily dedicated to higher quality posts and discussions. Those are welcome from everyone but will be filtered by the moderators. In order to foster more discussion, we have decided to start a weekly stickied discussion thread for the subreddit. This discussion thread is a place for people to post things that are more casual regarding subjective idealism, and things that are more exploratory. Here is a place for individuals to propose ideas and ask questions and figure out subjective idealism.
Yup. Solidity is something I was used to seeing as an enemy, but I don’t see it as strictly an enemy anymore. I still think solidity is more often annoying than not for me personally. I didn’t realize I could deliberately make a realm that’s even much more enduring and stable than this Earthly one. Even if in practice I may not want to actually do that, I still think it’s good that I realized it, because I have a better understanding how limitless the mind is.
Another thing with regard to LD-ing, is that I think newbie LD-ers often lean toward the fantastical side, but the experienced LD-ers have experienced things like pain, or a sense of sleepiness, for example, in their dreams. (yea, imagine dreaming of being very sleepy… how often does that happen? For me this kind of absurdity became possible only after I learned to LD.) They’ve experienced how gritty and “real-seeming” the dreams can really be, down to the last detail.
