Same Mundane Dreams

my recall has been ok lately. i can remember 1 or 2 dreams per night. however, my dreams are usually about school or preforming some other mundane task.

how can i make my dreams more interesting? i have only had 1 lucid that i can remember. i used the digital clock reality check and it worked perfectly. however, i did wake up soon after.

that was months ago. now, i can never remember to check a clock or do any kind of rc. it seems like i havent been able to dream about anything but school lately lol.

Why not check out the Break your dryspell thread? I made a post about dreaming about work *work is mundane!*, and what I'm doing to end this mundane dreaming cycle.

clicky here for my post

haha yea i actually read your posts soon after making this thread. ive been doing RCs for the past few hours. i'll do them tomorrow at school too.

my dreams always feel like they're on a set track. like im just watching everything happen.

any experienced LDers got any tips?

Watch action movies, or read exciting books. It may not lead to lucidity, but it's a good way to amp up your dreams. I spent a few weeks watching martial arts and action movies and it really helped. I started having dreams where I was characters in those movies, which were a lot more fun than the ones where I just saw myself browsing the forums :P

lol. i watch movies every day. well last night i remembered more dreams than usual. 3 parts were in places ive never been before so thats an improvement. i even remember what some of the characters said.

i didnt question reality in the dreams though. still got some work to do...

*shrugs* That usually works for me. Are they action movies? or just movies in general? Also, I've found that a new job or something that i'm learning throws my dreams off where I tend to dream about doing that thing.

most of them have a good amount of action. hmmm...i couldnt remember any dreams last night :/

I have to agree with this. After playing video games at the end of the day, I often found myself having dreams about being the character in them. Metal gear solid was one of them. It takes getting mentally into it of course.

Also, Freud had a theory called "day residue" which says that 1%-2% of our daily lives, becomes part of the nights dreams. Just thought that would be somewhat helpful.

Oh and... Break your dryspell
