Thread: I have very vivid dreams, yet not alot of lucidity :(

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say i've had a interesting revelation some time ago and hopefully you guys and gals can help!

So ever since i got into lucid dreaming i was dream journaling and doing ADA alot. What i found is that i have very vivid and detailed dreams in which the only main details I couldn't remember were conversations(probably because in real life I get absorbed into conversations alot IWL).

Now I think that having good awareness in your dreams is essential to becoming lucid, or is it? judging from the fact that I have very memorable and vivid dreams I think I would natually find myself lucid(a DILD basically) and yet dozens of dreams come and go and that spontanious lucidity never came(unless I was doing SSILD or WILD).

So I guess my real question is am I missing something? maybe I need a different technique or mindset? I've been getting into doing puffin's SAT to spice things up and started meditatimg cosistently(vipassana and lately sivason's dream yoga) so hopefully they might help, but I should give them more time...

edit: forgot to mention probably one crutial detail: my sleep schedule is a mess right now yet I still manage to get 6-7 hrs of sleep. Just puttting out there in case it's important
