      Unhappy Lucid Dreams Clarity

      I had my first controlled lucid last night, but it was really I guess unclear? And cloudy in detail if you get what I mean. I knew what was happening but the sky was just black and everything was really dark... Is it like this for everyone?

      My dreams are usually as clear as reality.

      Try picking something up and looking closely at it. It will sharpen in detail. Try looking at a book, or inspecting the grass. Try to find something intricate and detailed and as you look at it, things will become clearer.

      Oh ok, thanks for the tip. I will try it next lucid mate. I have before had 100% clear dreams but my lucids are always unclear, and my controlled lucid was even worse

      A big problem in lucid dreaming is learning to believe.

      This might sound dumb, but it's VERY true.

      What I mean is this: In order to fly, you need to believe that you can fly. In order to summon objects, you need to believe that you can. So basically, if you believe that your lucid dreams are unclear, then they will be unclear.

      All you have to know is that from now on, your lucid dreams are going to be totally clear, because it was all in your mind before. Seriously, I am not kidding, the next lucid dream you have, will be completely clear just because you know this. You'll see. Just remember that the next time you are in a dream you are going to look around and see, then you'll be like "Holy shit. That guy was right. Everything's crystal!"

      Not persuaded? Read this: You said that your regular dreams are fine, right? And your lucids are unclear? This is simple to explain. In your lucid dreams you were thinking "this is a dream" and you had subconsciously tied the idea of unclearness to the idea of dreaming; thus, whenever you thought "this is a dream" you were making your dream more and more unclear. However, in your regular dreams (when you're not lucid), you don't know that you're dreaming, so everything is completely clear because as far as you're concerned it's reality, and why wouldn't it be clear?

      So there you have it. Now that you understand this, you have fixed everything. Your dreams will be crystal now. Don't even worry about it. You'll probably laugh the next time you have a lucid dream because of how clear everything is.

      What you believe makes all the difference in your dreams.

      Haha, thanks glad I could help

      I hope that helped other people too. I'm sure just typing it all out definitely helped me towards better dream control in other aspects.

      Hey there,

      Very often moments of lucidity accompagny moments of shallow sleep, when we're already close to awakening. Becoming lucid can be exciting, which in turn stimulates the body even more, and cause the dreams to begin to fade out, making them vague and unclear.

      Many lucid dreamers will commence moments of lucidity by 'grounding' themselves in the dreams or 'stabilising' the dream first. There's various techniques, but generally most of them amount to the same thing, and that is to immerse yourself in the dreamsensations. Touch things and feel their texture, smell things and try to pick up their scent, look at things and notice their shape, their color, listen to the sounds of the dream around you.

      By immersing yourself in the dream like this, you're turning your full attention towards your dream (and away from such thoughts like waking up, like being excited, like the dream being vague). This usually helps to make the dream become more 'solid' or 'clear'. Once you have the feeling you're good and well grounded in the dream, you can then move on to whatever dreamgoals you had in mind.

      Good luck!

      Most of my lucid dreams are very clear, (as clear as reality) but sometimes i get cloudy ones but i just use verbal demands to sort that out.
