I'll chime in here too, see if I can help. Hmm.. I haven't had this problem, but I could try to make a decent Hypothesis. |

Weird topic, huh? Still, all I can say is that this seems to be happening, and I think it is getting in the way of my ability to attain lucidity. |

Goals: For now, exploration!.
I'm a bit frightened of you, too. |
|
I reckon a few more details would help us sort it out. Or perhaps you're not forward and/or honest enough with your subconscious? There has to be a good reason it's frightened of you. |

You're traveling to another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but mind.
A journey into a wondrous land who's boundaries are only that of the imagination. You're entering... A Lucid Dream!
Dreamy Goals: {Confront A Fear} | {Fly} | {FUS-ROH-DAH!!!} | {Summon A Girl From Another Dream} | {Become Link And Fight Dark Link} | {Race In Mario Kart} | {Ride A Loftwing}
In both of the two lucid dreams that I have been able to induce, I go this impression. In dream #1, the characters seemed very hesitant, and when I announced my intention to find a "wisdom figure" who could guide me to direct interaction with my subconscious, the dream ended shortly thereafter. |

You are using techniques like rubbing your hands, telling yourself it's a dream, crawling etc., right? |

No problems there. I spin around to keep things lucid. This is different. I get the impression, for whatever reason, that it doesn't want me going lucid, again. Why? Because that's exactly the feeling I got, and what is the subconscious other than feelings? |
|
Your subconscious is you. It's not lurking within you and doesn't think independently of you. Who you think you are is just the culmination of all the countless details that make up your subconscious. If you try to meet your subconscious in your dream you'll just be meeting yourself. |

That could very well be, though I'm not absolutely sure that my subconscious is "me". That would require a definition of what "me" actually is. Let's face it, our brains are made of very disparate parts, and they often fight against themselves. Ever had a sleepless night in which some business or moral question kept your mind up, fighting with itself? |
|
Yes, but I don't see it as my mind fighting itself. Just cooperation between the different parts. All of the relevant information in my SubC is working together to figure out the most reasonable truth that it can. When I hold two contradictory thoughts they aren't fighting each other but working with each other to figure out which is the most reasonable truth. |
|
the First few times I went lucid it would 'glitch' out and I would hear messed up noises and other things, like my subconscious was trying to scare me from getting lucid but eventually I got it down. |

Difference is that I afterwards got the feeling that my subconscious was scared of me, or of this experience. Since the way the subconscious talks to you most directly (other than in dreams) is through feelings, that is how I grabbed on to this idea. |
|
Yeah the very first time I noticed because A sign across the street said welcome and i looked away and when I looked back the words changed to America I was like WTF then Realised and the world froze and I heard what you hear when Some Video games and DVDs freeze then other messed up electronic noises. Another time I was in a car with all my friends when I realised and I looked at my friend and told him and then I tried to push something with my mind and the car we were in started to fly off the bridge and then it faded black and I heard some messed up laughing. I don't have that problem anymore. All I really did after that was concentrated on knowing it was my world and I could control any and everything.d |

Any and everything, amybe, with the exception of whether the subconscious would allow you to become lucid in the first place? There's the question behind all this. Does the conscious or subconscious mind hold the key to lucidity? |
|
I think both do. |
|
" I couldn't stand her at first, But then I loved her so bad It Hurt "
Probably the right answer. |
|
Just because you start having more lucid if your conscious mind becomes aware of them and craves them, but your subconscious is what is in the control while dreaming, at least non lucid, and even then when I get lucid I let my subconscious control certain aspects. |
