Hello everyone, my name is Austin. I am new to the dream views community, but have been attempting lucid dreaming for about 2 months now. Since the first day I tried the WBTB technique, I have had 3 successful lucid dreams, the latest of which happened this morning. |

Spoiler for Secret to LDing:
I said "once I awoke from this dream." And, I have already done some pretty extensive research on the topic of dream layers. I'm just having a hard time climbing through them. |

Perhaps a stabilization technique would allow you to gain control after you realize you're dreaming and you do that RC. Something to remind you to take control of the dream might help. |

Before I went to bed last night I did a bunch of research on this topic and found that most people on this forum have different opinions on what actually lets you control the dream, whether it be entirely based upon belief, or if skill has to do with it. I do not have enough experience with lucid dreaming to pick a side just yet, and I don't necessarily think I will. |

I have trouble controlling my dreams as well. I've found it's a lot easier to change things I can't see in dreams. Like Covering something with my hand and just knowing that when I move my hand it will change, or changing something behind me that I'm not looking at. I think the whole "Skill" and "Belief" thing have more in common than you think. If you feel like your "skill" is improving, then really your just more confident in your ability to control and therefore have more "belief" that you can change something. I'm not very good at controlling things either, but the two arguments really seem like two sides of the same coin to me |

That's a really good idea! I never thought of trying to change things while my view of them is blocked. I will have to try this very soon. |

From what I've read stabilization can help, maybe in your dream if you try to imagine roots like that of a tree sprouting from your feet into the ground, anchoring you into a lucid dream. I've only had a couple of LD's but in theory it sounds like it would work well. Maybe even try using spells for certain situations, like someone mentioned to me. Here's a link to a post with various spells for various things in dreams. http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/using-...e-list-115795/ |
