Able To Get Lucid, But...

[overmike]

Hey, I'm Mike. I have been experimenting with Lucid Dreaming lately. I have been able to realiZe i was dreaming on several occasions, but I have never been able to alter my environment or control the setting. Instead, the images in my dream just seem to freeze. I sit there, thinking "I'm dreaming" and when I try to make something happen, nothing really changes. After that I either wake up, or I cannot stay lucid and seem to slip back into unconsiousness... any suggestions? Also, what may be an effective induction technique for a heavy sleeper who does not fall asleep quickly? thanks

Your not believing in what your capable of in your dreams it seems. You seem to have a very low awareness. Always think to yourself "This is my dream, Im in control." Have no doubts. If you doubt you can do something, you wont be able to do it.
