Tres problemas

**transient** · 11-07-2011 03:15 PM

Since starting to consciously try and have lucids three major problems have emerged. First and foremost when trying to WILD I get super excited when I think sleep paralysis is setting in and I can't fall asleep, I end up lying there for hours half way between sleep and waking. The second problem is that when I do dream I usually forget my dream within the first 5 seconds of being awake. I know I dream every night because everyone dreams every night, I just can't remember mine. I know there are various techniques for remembering dreams like keeping a dream journal, going through the days events in reverse or backwards from 100 to 1 before you go to bed. I do all of these but have had limited succes. The third is realizing i'm dreaming in dream, sometimes I WBTB and start to have a lucid but then suddenly forget that i'm dreaming. Most of the time however my dream plays out with me completely unaware that its a dream, regardless of how ridiculous it is. Any tips, comments, questions, or suggestions would be very appreciated, happy dreaming!

1: Well just try now thinking about that you are looking forward to have a SP. I know it's hard but just try!
2: Lay still in the position that you woke up in. The brain will think that you want to go back to sleep so it continues it's process. Meanwhile think about the dream you just had, and you will find it easier to remember!
3: I use a technique that I've heard that some people use. I simply just put on a pair of "lucid glasses" and just know that as long that I use them. I will remember that I am dreaming!

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else on this forum or send a pm
