Lucid Dreaming and the Golden Rule

In this culture, dream control is praised as most advanced ability while lucid dreaming, or being aware in the dream state. To do so, dreamers have to throw away all their compassion for other dream figures, and push them out of the way to do what they want. A more compassionate approach to lucid dreaming can be summed up by the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. By interacting with dream figures with this perspective, many insights and possibilities will be offered to the dreamer. There’s nothing wrong with being an active decision-maker in the lucid dream, of course. But compassion can go a long way, and its guaranteed to open more doors than trying to control the dream overtly.
