  Lucid dreams and OBE

  crumpet's post prompted me to go ahead and post something i've wanted to talk about for some time now.

  has anyone here had lucid dreams or oobes?

  i've started focusing on remembering my dreams and keeping a dream journal for about 6 months now and have had some groovy experinces.

  We all dream about 4 times a night many don't remember their dreams, but if they remember one, it's always the last prior to waking. I have nearly always remembered all of my dreams from the previous night, and I never wake from a dreamless night. I often wonder what it's like to go to sleep and wake the following morning aware of nothing?!

  I used to lucid dream more as a child, and still do infrequently as an adult. The last lucid dream I had was so amazing I remembered every detail as I knew I was in a 'real' place. When I DO lucid dream, they tend to come in ''batches'' - the last time I had 3 in the same week. Maybe there's a reason for this?

  PS, my son lucid dreams too - he probably thinks EVERYONE does this - I used to till I recently found out they didn't!

  over the last week i have been telling a longtime friend of mine from my hometown about what i found.

  we were best friends all growing up and he had some real bad physical abuse probs in his house and so when he graduated he left the truth and has just recently started coming back.

  he?s been studying off and on.

  ?So if the JWs don?t have the truth, then what is the answer??

  This is also the response I have heard - JW belief (as far as I understand) is that God has ALWAYS had a ''people'' on Earth, and if it isn't JW now (who bear HIS name) then who is it ?

  Name ways in which the Watchtower could make JW life more "appealing"?

  jw meetings are so dull, and so alike, that one can only become bored in no time.

  what changes would you have made in the meetings or after the meetings to make jw life more appealing and still christian?

  Music and sinning that you can get behind.

  I also like mtbatoon's idea - maybe a Sinning Competition? lol

  ......and I like Nancy's idea - could also add an agony cloumn in the back of the mag, and a crossword, wordsearch AND the TV programmes so the Congregation can see what they're missing.

  I put that badly - what I want to know is how do the JW explain celebrating Nisan 14 in March, when it appears to be a month later in April?

  Hmmm - yes, something I've never questioned before is the actual date - but I have just consulted TWO Jewish calendars, and both state that Nisan 14 falls on April 23rd. Can anyone explain the discrepency to me? Many thanks.
