I tried this technique last night acting on the adivce of a dream character (possibly my dream guide, though I'm not sure). For a while now, as soon as I become lucid my dreams have lost vividness, and have either faded to blackness or became more like a daydream than anything else. Usually this is followed by waking, or a false awakening.

Last night when this started to happen, the DC told me to "become" one of the other DC's. It was sort of like I posessed the body of another dream character, and it put me fully into the dream. I experienced a vividness that I have not noticed for a long time, if ever. The particular dream character that I posessed was Monk, from the detective show. Sometimes I dream that I am Monk, in non-lucid dreams. The DC that was giving me the adivce told me specifically to summon and then posess him.

The dream journal is here. I am curious to hear other's thoughts on this.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
