Every topic has its own list of jargon-related language and key concepts that outsiders simply don’t ‘get’ and this is just as true for oneironauts as it is for other types of practices and interests.
Either way, it’s always refreshing to take a light-hearted look at something as it usually helps us see it with a fresh perspective. We’re getting to the lucid dreaming jokes, hang tight.
Speaking of fresh perspectives…
Author Laura Diamond said that:
“A joke is an epitaph to an emotion.”
This is a very subtle and nuanced way of looking at the potential contained in lucid dreams because it suggests that humour in general (and jokes in particular) can help us uncover untapped emotions.
Emotions hold a tremendous amount of power once they have been successfully unleashed. They also help us get to discover who we are as individuals because how we feel governs every aspect of living and being. It’s like a vicious circle. If you don’t feel well, your immune system becomes depressed and you get a cold. If you get a cold then you become depressed because being ill is a drag (and so on)…
However, the problem is that, due to reasons such as cultural conditioning or parental cues, many of us suppress our feelings and don’t allow them to truly be expressed
Emotional Expression in Healthy and Healing
Various scientific studies conducted over the decades have consistently demonstrated that suppressing our emotions is detrimental to our overall health and wellbeing and can lead to the onset of illness and disease. So how do we counteract this and let our emotions run wild and free?
With laughter of course:
Laughter is the Best Medicine
You can be your very own clown doctor by sitting down in front of a funny film, going to see a stand up comedian or with a good book of jokes. Either way, there’s nothing like a good joke and laughter is truly the best medicine so make yourself a cup of tea, crack open the biscuit tin and enjoy our list of all the best lucid dreaming jokes there are out there.
