Hi everyone, i'm new to this site and i think it all sounds kinda cool. I'm a bit of a dreamer in life, so i thought why not try this out while i'm asleep. Anyway, i was wondering, does anyone know how to always make sure you are in first person. I don't wanna see myself like i'm watching a movie, i wanna be doing that all myself. Also how often do you all have lucid dreams, every night. I just have no idea cos i've never had a lucid dream . Thanks

Some people have been embarrassed into 3rd Person Dreams from the humiliation of having been caught publically naked in their dreams. Other people have been scared into it by the frights of nightmares. If you want to have 1st Person Dreams, and have been having mostly 3rd Person Dreams, you must convince your Subconscious Mind, through suggestion, that you are willing to put aside your over-scrupulous modesty about public nakedness, and that you are willing to be more brave and less fearful in the prospect of frightful dreams. You must make your Subconscious to understand that you are no longer satisfied with being a mere spectator and that you now wish to take the Field of Dreams.

You will find that everything about Dreams involves Suggestion to the Subconscious Mind. And Suggestion involves time and effort. concentration and meditation, and thinking about Reality Checks, or running audio auto-hypnosis programs -- all these things are efforts made by the conscious mind to influence Subconscious Volition.

Can you have lucid dreams every night. Some people do. However, what may be more important is to have vivid dreams, than lucid dreams. It is as though Dreams are powered up by a certain Conscious Energy. The more energy there is, the Brighter the Dream is -- the more vibrant and intense the colors, the feelings, all of the sensations. It is seldom that anybody has such power night after night after night.

Also, there is the matter of what one can do with Lucidity. Often people use Lucidity in order to control all Dream Content. But if we personally are controlling all Dream Content, then what is the Subconsicous, or even the SuperConscious Mind doing? So we often have battles between the Lucid Dreamer and the Dream Mind, where the Dream Mind invents numerous strategems for lulling the Lucid Dreamer back into ordinary dreaming so that normal Dream Content can once again be allowed to be played. It seems that the Dream Mind has something to say and objects to being stiffled or hushed up by a too zealous pursuit of Lucidity.

But if one uses Lucidity moderately, that is, not to override all Dream Content, but only to inform one's dream decisions while being willing to accept what the Dream Mind insists upon providing, then Lucidity does not have to degenerate into a War against one's Self.

With the habits of Lucidity, one learns not to fear death in dreams, and one learns every trick about flying and exercising the other powers, which if performed while awake would be both psychic and miraculous. Soon such Lucid Behaviors become habitual in all dreams and then it hardly matters whether one is Lucid or not in one's dreams, since the behaviors and the experiences are largely the same. It is as thought Lucidity is a crutch that one need not carry around with one forever.

Indeed, take a look at this Treatise on Sleep and Dreaming which gathers in the perspective of both Western Science and the Hindu, Yogic and Tibetan Schools of Dreaming. It is all quite complete, but from cover to cover you will not find the word 'Lucid' mentioned even once. http://www.awgp.org/english/books/sleep_dreams.pdf
