Thread: Why are my LDs so unstable?

Dayum!

this is my first visit to this site in a looonnnngg time!!

i've almost totally forgotten about Lucid dreaming for a while. its scary now that i look back. i've still kept a dream journal, but ive forgotten what i was using it for! - LUCID F'in DREAMING

- And ive had this problem many times. i know exactly what ur talkin about.
try not leaving your "attention bubble"
I've always found that you lose lucidity once you go out of your attention bubble.
ex// "dam! I'm in a lucid dream, i gotta go have sex!" *pop* the bubble breaks.

don't exert a force out, or you will always lose. keep yourself and your attention present at all times, or else you will be going back to your dream self.

a diagram to explain: for dreams

__
example 1:

incentive to have sex

you ------->
......<-------

opposite incentive - you cannot find anybody to have sex with (and your lucid dream concludes in you waking up or losing lucidity)
__
__
example 2:

incentive to move and spin or rub your hands to achieve stability

you ------->
.....<-------

opposite incentive - you wake up before you can move
__

if you are in any of these situations you have left your bubble (or played into the yin and yang)
to solve this problem stay in the bubble of attention, simultaneously acting out your desires.

example 3:


the bubble is you
........______________
....../........................\
..../...desire to have sex.\
...|...........---->............|
...|...........<----............|
....\...opposite reaction../
......\.______________./

once you keep in the bubble you can freely engage in your desires.
