Thread: Losing the ability to lucid dream?

When that happens, lucidity blooms quickly.

When my daytime practice has gone particularly well I sometimes find myself dropping into a dream and becoming fully lucid when I first see a dream character.

I am fortunate to have a daytime situation that allows me to practice like this.

Oh that’s very inspiring. I should also try harder to remain present in interactions with others. I find it quite easy to do so in idle time, but less so when there is “action”. And of course that in my dreams there is almost always action, so more value comes out of being present then.

Thank you!

Our daytime practice will help us to succeed at this in our dreams....that in turn will help us succeed even more at being in the moment in our daytime lives. That, to me, is one of the real goals in all of this.
