      newbie to lucid dreaming

      Hey guys and gals,

      Yall can just call me Rickter. I'm new here and I have a question about attaining lucidity. I just started a dream journal and have been recording all the dreams that I can remember. Seeing that before I started trying to remember my dreams, I would remember about 1 or 2 in two weeks. Now I've got my recall up to one a day. I've tried waking myself with a alarm clock to try to help with my recall, but with little success.

      Now down to my dream and the question.

      Before I fell asleep I told myself that I would remember that I was dreaming in my dream until I fell asleep. I realized that I was dreaming in my dream and tried to control my surroundings. I couldn't... So I wondered around, some make-believe dream house, knowing that I was in a dream the whole time. I stepped outside and finnaly had some control over my dream, but it was minimal. I saw a woman on the street and told here to cross the street and she did, told her to stand by a tree and she did. Then the scene changed and I totally lost my lucidity.

      Has this ever happened to any of you guys. Knowing you're dreaming but not being able to control anything, or being able to control just small things. I wanted to control more but couldn't...tried to fly....couldn't...change objects...Nothing. Do all yall have any suggestions to have more control over my dreams.
      Let me Out!!!

      What your doing wrong

      Just to let you know i can't lucid dream at will. I have only ever lucided once but my first 1 taught me alot.

      You still need to work on your dream recall, what you have to do before you go to bed is tell yourself you will rember your dreams when you wake up. Dont worry about LUCID dreaming, just focus on waking up the next morring and writting it down. im good at recalling my dreams when i want.

      The only problem once you became lucid is you didn't fully appreciate and comprend your lucidty. What i mean is you douted yourself so much you coulndt fully control your dream.
      In my lucid dream i always wanted to lucid dream, that when i did, i knew i could do any thing. Since i was 100% SURE there wasnt a doubt in my mind that could stop me.
      In my opion, i think you didn't relize that it was your world and you doubted yourself.
      "I thought what I'd do was pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes..."

      I've had similar issues with lucidity many times. Most of those times I could tell that I doubted myself a little. If you can believe something is possible, then relax, imagine it, then try it expecting it to work you can do anything.

      For example if you wanted to fly, don't just jump and feel dissappointed when you land on the ground, try again. Try something new, maybe telekinetically repelling the ground (worked for me once).

      hey, I've had many lucid dreams, and I still don't have full control. you just have to learn. pratice. I remember one lucid dream I had where I started floating and had to hold onto something to keep me on the ground!!! (I fixed it by imaging myself as being heavy or at a normal weight and it worked!) weird....


      Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
