Hi =) |

Don't get involved in the dream plot! As soon as you start going along with the dream, it's all over. Remind yourself it's not real, and keep a sense of detachment. |

Follow my tutorial for increasing your awareness of the dream, and pro-longing it. Only have your engage all of your senses do you start to wake up, and become truly lucid. The tutorial below will walk you through that. |

Start from the ground and go up from there.
hey atkins513, have you read what he say? you have to be lucid to do that thing of increasing awareness, else, it's impossible. |

I'm in the same situation almost every dream I know that I am dreaming and sometimes even saying that to myself but I am not "lucid". And I also become fully lucid in danger situations. |

Actually, Mariano, I'm a female lol |

I find planning my LD's in advance helps me to stay Lucid. Usually when i attain Lucidity i have the "Aha!" moment (which i sometimes laugh at in my dream, as i find it hilarious). Then immediately i begin to try to control one thing at a time, the first is the most important which is my thoughts. I keep them from straying, i guide them, because at first the thoughts are wild and random, but i slowly get into a mindset of analyzing my current situation so that i can make clear sound judgement's that produce solid thoughts. It's all about keeping a clear mind. Meditation will really help you with this. I meditate for an hour to an hour and a half every day, and i have meditation retreats often, where i go to certain places where i know no one will be and meditate for hours. |

"MementoMori, the lucid machine"
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."
I had this problem when I started, too. Just keep in mind something you wanna do when you do become lucid. I remember the first time I broke from it I thought, "Hum.. I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming?! Let's do something about it" |

Hey Moondust - it sounds like one of two possibilities. |

where do failed reality checks come in on the spectrum? |

“I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.” -
Am I dreaming? Do a Reality Check. Is this is a dream?
from my experience, if im truly LD, and i know i am... I can easily do any of these RCs and fail them.. but if I try one and expect the result to be a pass.. it will.. the only reality check that I think is 100 percent accurate is holding your nose and breathing.. and the reason I believe this is is because you still have conscious control over your breathing during LD, and you consciously know that you are still breathing even though you are holding your nose. RC's like putting your finger through something will fail or pass, based on your expectation and I Have proven this to myself during LD. |

I had this happen once where, in my dream, I discovered my lack of pants. I thought to myself, "This has to be a dream, I wouldn't go out without pants on!" but everything felt pretty real, so I decided to RC. Palm through hand. Which clunked, and failed. |

Thanks, MomentoMori and Darkmatters! What you two said helped me a lot! Last night I had a dream about reality checks, haha. I need to work on it, but I think I'm making progress. =D |
