      Question Help?

      I need some serious help.

      For me, realizing I am asleep is the easy part.

      Becoming fully lucid is harder.

      I can barely control my dream, my mind is cloudy and screwed up, my movement is shaky and hard to control. I can usually only think of one thing, which is usually attempting flight. My brain keeps trying to derail me, too, and I can't remember the dream. Example: (a real dream i had)

      I became aware during a dream around the part where someone was trying to transform me into a frog by feeding me grapes. (Had I been fully aware I would probably have eaten the grapes just to experience it.) I immediately started jumping, and attempting to fly. I finally succeeded, but the experience was incredibly underwhelming, as if I was just imagining it or watching a video. I kept sinking as well. The surroundings were bland dream-surroundings. Eventually I found a pool, and dream weirdness ensued, and my lucidity faded.

      I want to be able to become snap-aware, completely awake while still being in a dream. I want to be able to change myself and my surroundings at will, and teleport and actually think correctly. I want to have full control of my motions, and push the part of my mind that derails me into a corner, staying fully lucid until I want to wake up. Is there a way to really just be awake and know that I don't want to fly in a fake-aware dreamstate, I want to fully wake up, explore the wilderness, and try out different fantasies, and explore my subconscious. Is there a good way to develop this?

      TL/DR: I can become aware that I am dreaming, but my mind has other plans, and my awareness is diminished to a one-track thought. I have a lot of stuff I want to try, so please help!

      Have you tried using verbal commands, or even saying things like "I am going to jump in the sky and fly!"

      Have you tried to do things like ask yourself what is 2 + 6? to wake up just a little your mental functioning?
      (don't ask questions which are too difficult, a sleeping brain isn't an awake one, and you don't want to wake yourself)

      as to being movie like, have you tried to focus on other sensations than sight (like the sound above involved in verbal commands), particularly the senses of touch and taste (or even smell) feel something, like grass between your toes, smell something, or eat/drink something expect a particular flavor etc.

      Sure LUCID DREAMS are all fun and games until someone loses a third eye.

      Hello and welcome to DV!

      Do you usually plan to do other things in the dream apart from flying? I would suggest to do short dream incubation/visualization planning sessions during the day or right before bed time where you imagine what you would like to do in your next dream.

      For example, imagine yourself becoming lucid, take a moment's pause to dwell on that realization and feeling, look around you, etc. and from there on, imagine yourself performing whatever action you would like to. Do this little excercise often so this routine feels natural and until you're able to do it in your dream.
      Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
