Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Experiment: Lucid Dreams and MD

Hello MD friends,

I have been having nightmaresque lucid surrealist dreams for about 2-3 weeks. I just noticed this week that I did not have any dreams on the day I had a sufficiently satisfying 5 hour MD session. ...And I am now wondering if my lucid dreams are a release of abundant MD creative energy?

So I am going to do an experiment on myself to see if the two are linked - by keeping track of the hours of MD per day and whether or not I dream. Has anyone else noticed this pattern? Is anyone willing to collect data and share?

I am also generally curious: how much time people spend per day daydreaming?

My daydreams float between my waking world and my daydream world in colorful flashes through the whole day so it would be impossible to calculate time. Excellent post, good question.

Comment by Rosethewolf on May 15, 2014 at 5:02pm: I spend a lot of time daydreaming about 5-6 hours a day if I want to or more. I have nightmare daydreams but I usually make them happy or something at the end.
