why i can't lucid dream...

[djaio]

i don't have an attachment to reality. i already feel that our "real world" may be a dream, or the dream world may be the real world. so when i dream, my attitude is neither "this is real" nor do i realize it's a dream. just...whatever happens, happens. i accept it without even coming close to considering whether or not its "real".

so the strangest things happen in my dreams, but it doesn't phase me. i can try flicking on a light switch, breathe butterflies out of my mouth and then start flying, and the dream goes on as if nothing happened.

anyone else have the same deal?

sounds like you have the same mentality as the tibetan dream yogis. you should look into their methods (i think they most practice WILDs)

It's the same way for the vast majority of people on this planet. Try reading a few people's non-lucid dreams in their dream journals. Impossible things happen all the time and we just ignore them. That's just how we think in dreams

i have the same general mindset. it took me awhile to cultivate lucidity in dreams, because even when waking i didn't take much too seriously ("life's just a deeper dream" type of mentality).

try to start differentiating between what type of dream you are in. the waking dream (with certain seemingly insurmountable limitations), or the trance-dream, where there are almost no limitations.

i think you would find the tibetan buddhist worldview to be of interest as well. they used lucid dreaming often, especially WILDs.
