Hi Pablomx,
Glad to share. Yes, lucidity is a wonderful experience. I would not call
is stressful at all. Quite the opposite ... it is absolutely euphoric.
I think it's one of the most genuinely euphoric feelings I have ever had.
I have never drunk or smoked or done drugs, so I don't know what a
chemically induced "high" feels like. But I can guess that probably the
feeling one has when lucid is akin to getting "high" ... only much better,
because you are in full control of your consciousness and senses. It
really is like stepping into another dimension, another universe. And when
you return to this dimension and universe, you're not sad or hung over or
depressed ... because the joy lingers and the rest of the day/week/month,
you're still feeling all the wonderful things you did during lucidity. I
HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.
With regards to OBEs ... it would be interesting to hear from someone who
has experienced both lucid dreaming and the so-called OBEs. My personal
hunch is that they are the same things in different contexts, because
during lucidity, I really do feel as though I'm leaving my body (if I'm dream-flying, that is).
But, again, if there's a genuine difference between these two experiences, I
have to defer to someone who's actually experienced both to describe the
differences.
Best to you,
HF
