Thread: Lucid yet not lucid? Take a look at this.

So! for the past few weeks I have been in this weird state within my dreams, I call it "Zombie mode". It's like when you know you are in a dream, but you instinctively choose to follow the dream story like you aren't lucid. There are a few reasons to why this happens.

It could either be:
A. Your mindset towards lucid dreaming
B. Not being active in waking reality.
C. A feeling that you need to look at the story or else everything will not turn out for your benefit.


8 times out of 10, it's option B. "Not being active in waking reality."
What is helping me get out of this zombie mode state is simple. All I do is do prospective memory exercises. This is what you do when you want to remember to remember something.

During my day, I try to stop and look at everything that's blue, and really reflect on waking reality. The more spontaneous it is, and the more common you stop and remember about something you intend to remember, the better it is.

If you have this problem, give prospective memory a try. Say to yourself "I will remember to remember x" with x being any thing you want that's common within waking reality, like a color, a shape, smell, ect..

hope this helps
