I've wondered why we don't lucid dream every night? i always read posts by people saying how their dream characters ignore them, refuse to admit that the person dreaming is dreaming, try to convince the dreamer they are awake and they are in reality, and how each dream character/ projection is suppose to be your subconscious or an aspect of it.

my point is, what's your opinion on this? do you think its possible that our subconscious knows/fears that when we are lucid dreaming that we may be able to alter/change it? and so in an act of self preservation it prevents us (during normal dreaming) from realising we are dreaming.

lets say for simplicity sake your subconscious in both dream and waking life stems from this statement "i am worthless" (we'll call it subconscious AA) behaviours in this person theoretical life may be that they are shy, fearful of socialising, aren't assertive etc. this subconscious could have been created during childhoods due to abuse or whatever reason may cause that sort of thing to have caused that subconscious identity to have developed.

My query is, would this subconscious, this statement, this subconscious identity (which is self - aware and accessible to us only during our dream state) is actively trying to trick/prevent us from altering/changing it? because if you had this statement/identity as your buried subconscious identity and then took measures to change it to lets say "i am valuable and assertive" (we'll call this subconscious BB) (which would in theory change your waking behaviour from being a shy recluse, to a confident assertive domineering person), then technically you would be killing the previous subconscious AA, correct? therefore your current subconscious AA (i'm worthless subconscious AA) has a vested interest in making sure you/ we don't lucid dream and prevents us from eliminating/ destroying, changing or replacing it with another one, i.e. identity or root statement. whats your opinion?

i know its a bit confusing and far fetched but i'm just curious what other people think.

if your in need of a visual of what i mean by "root statement" then think of that scene in inception with cobbs wife her identity/ statement went from "i'm awake + whatever her personality was because that wasn't really covered in the movie"AA became "i'm dreaming"BB, i know they used a spinning top in the movie but thats not how reality works as far as i;'m aware. hypnosis in real life use statements when their patients are in their "dream states".

so yea? do you think this could be a potential reason why we aren't naturally aware we dream (on average as humans as a whole, to the point there are people who think lucid dreaming is simply science fiction) thanks
