Dreams are truly the recollection of your unconscious episode. Truthfully, the cerebellum is inclined to assimilate experiences to make chronological sense. This is why it seems that you are experiencing the dreams as they are happening, but you are actually not and cannot. There cerebrum is functionally deactivied (no monoamine neurotransmitter activity) so it is actually when you awake that your mind re-arranges everything and functions on lucidity, dreams, etc.

The blurryness is likely the result of confused or difficult recall.

Either way, the recollection residually helps and reinforces attention and focus.

Your exams and suspension of the dream journal are likely the culprit to this blurryness. I could interpret it as the uneasyness about your exams (ie. "i do not know how this will come about" analguous to "i cannot see the future" etc. etc.).

What do you think...?

Wow,
That was a detailed diagnosis doctor, lol i suppose you could be right,
just as i'm wondering, how is it that if it is unconcious episode then why does it feel as if it were in real time and i have the choice to do what i want?

and what about the hand technique, when i felt myself going, i tried focusing on the line on my hand and sumtimes it helped me clear it up a little.

Thanks again

To demonstrate what I mean, have you ever watched a movie that was entirely in subtitles? Like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Passion of Christ? Jet Li's Fearless?

If you have, do you remember reading the texts or what they said?

Typically, people will remember them as saying what they read in the text and not reading it. Thus bringing the response, "Oh yeah, it's in subtitles!"

However, this is just a natural phenomenon with the mind to collectively bind context into a whole; it just helps us function better overall.

The problem might be you are isolating your methods to specific senses (ie. sight). Try using all senses. This is what I advise to others which I first did:
- Stick out a hand with all fingers and start counting:
One - Olfactory (sense of smell); you often do not smell in dreams, but if you do, it will oddly be whatever you are thinking of. This is because dreams are introverted.
Two - Taste; samething as smell really, but different sense.
Three - Touch (notice t's are in alphabetical order); simply imagine touching something, can you feel it? Do you need to actually touch something to feel it?
Four - Auditory; (I cannot think of an easy way to remember this one, sorry); Can you hear anything? Can you picture a sound and make it real? This one might be the most difficult.
Five - Sight; how much detail can you see. Is there anything surprising? etc.

The idea here is to simply use a process of sense recognition rather than just one isolated sense.

What do you think...?

well i supose that would improve my clarity,

i will have to try all them that you said, i havent become even an rookie at lucidity yet, but when im in them i have complete control of physical objects but just not always of their clarity, and its so annoying, its like when your in real life and your trying really hard to imagine something and all you get is the blackness you can see behind your eyes. I guess something in my brain hasnt opened up and let my imagination in yet.

There was only one lucid dream i can truly say i was blown away with,
it was the typical flying one, an i could feel the air rusing by, and i could smell the fresh air and see the sun, an i could feel the massive amount of pressure on my body, it was incredible, i just wish i could learn to control the clarity and attain the lucidity.

With you being experiance at this, if i was to become more in tune with my senses would it help me in my quest??

Thanks

These are bit contradictory and may be part of the problem.

You feel that your body is not allowing you to become lucid and seek ways to help. You wonder if you are to better understand your body, you might become more lucid and in control.

What I am thinking is that you do not feel in control right now - you have the free ability to do so right now! It may simply be your mental block caused by what you expect lucid dreams to be or what causes them.

What do you think allows people to lucid dream?

erm, thats a tricky one,
i'd probably guess that it was the concious part of the mind wanting to control the destiny of a dream, for self development or just self exploration.
i dont actually know the scientific reason why people lucid dream or what allows them.

does my understanding allow me to lucid dream?


P.s. Cheers!
