Lucid Tasks:
Beat my subconcious senseless with a pointed stick
Meet Yoda, and get him to teach me the ways of the Force
Find out what a Strappleberry and a Masafuchi Nut look like
If you're seriously beginning to confuse reality and dreams, then I'd suggest that you lay off lucid-dreaming techniques for a while & just let them happen naturally. I've had some weird experiences as a result of over-doing RCs a bit too much, I think it can mess with your mind a bit if you're sensitive to it. Not that anything bad has ever happened to me from it, probably the worse thing is getting real memories mixed up with dream memories and vice versa. Just take a break from it for a while, and let things happen naturally. |

You're awake. How do I know? This is too boring to be a dream. |

Does it truly matter whether or not your in a waking state of mind? This is a question I have pondered for quite some time; I too have questioned my state of being on numerous occasions. |

I can't see how lucids are making this worse. You have to be aware that you are in a dream in order to be lucid. Therefore, they would HELP you differentiate between reality and dreams. Am I missing something here? Are these true lucids or more along the lines of a semi-lucid? |

i see what you mean... i dont know what my problem has been lately. all i know is that ive often felt entirely sure lately that ive been dreaming (i guess youd say i thought i was "dilding") and then it turned out i wasnt. to the point where ive said it to other people... and to the point where im not sure if im just not exerting enough control over my own lucid dreams. its actually a huge relief when im entirely sure im dreaming... at least that way i know where i stand. (i just checked to make sure im not dreaming right now, and im pretty sure im not, so other people should be able to read this?) i think everyone is going to think im lying about this. and youre right, to have a lucid dream you must be SURE youre dreaming, right? so whats my deal? |

have you watched the matrix recently? |

ive had lucid dreams my whole life, and just recently found out that they weren't the norm, so i looked them up on the net. the i started doing the techniques. they work really well for me. i guess too well? i dont know. crazy stuff though. i think maybe a huge problem is that i have these ultra vivid dreams that ARENT lucid... which has never happened before. thats screwing with me. |
|
maybe you should stop doing whatever you do to induce them recently, as others have suggested. |
|
The main reason is probably that you're simply paying more attention to your dreams. Whenever you're getting confused, stop and try to work yourself out. Hopefully this confusion will be only temporary. |
