Lucid Dreaming Tips for a Stupid Dreamer?...

[Kael Seoras]

I'm stupid in my dreams Seriously. Like, I have absolutely no control over my dreams, and even when they're at their most vivid and weird I have no idea I'm dreaming (and they get pretty dang vivid and weird...I'm gonna post two of them see for yourself ) Even if I do think I'm dreaming (and I think it's happened before), I never fully realize it and go lucid, that's how stupid I am in my dreams. I literally just flow with them helplessly. So yea, I'm far from achieving lucidity. I know how to get vivid, fairly memorable dreams (eat right before bed...particularly chocolate...but meat causes nightmares and don't take a painkiller right before bed unless you're a masochist or something *sweatdrop*) But since I'm helpless and have literally zero control in my dreams, that doesn't bring me much closer to achieving lucidity. A little closer, but not much. I've read tips about looking at your palms or looking for dream signs and this will prove to you that your dreaming...but frankly I don't know how I'm supposed to know to do that in the first place if I don't even know I'm dreaming and am too stupid and helpless to take a moment to look at my palms. Even if I did and proved to myself I was dreaming, I'd be like "I'm dreaming...moving on" and I'd just keep flowing in the dream with no control and probably forget that happened Once, just once, a few months ago, I had a dream in which I actually realized "Hey! I'm dreaming!" but my heart jumped and I woke up. So, what do I do to get the gumption to prove to myself I'm dreaming without overexerting myself and waking up? (Keep in mind I am freaking stupid in my dreams )
