Lucid Dreams as uncontrolable as walking life.

[Alexanderp3]

Hi to all you wonderful people, im wondering, how come I can never materialize items in my dreams(Once I tried to draw a buster sword(I know..) and what I go instead was a wooden stick) but when I tried last night I could'nt materialize anything at all.. any tips? also the dreams are as real as walking life as I felt shame yesterday.. something I had never felt in a dream.

I feel like it is harder for people to control when it is realistic. Have you looked at any tutorials for materializing? I believe that materializing is finding the balance of imagination, expectation, and confidence. Sometimes if you pay too much attention to one you will miss out on another point. Hope this helps. Check out tutorials! They are good!

How many LDs have you had?

The short answer: It takes practice.

Increase your awareness levels within the dream, you may be at a low level of lucidity. And yeah, practice.

Once a young girl lived by a lake. Simply by watching others, she learned much about how to swim. One day when her family was busy, the girl jumped in the deep water. Although she moved her arms and legs as she had seen other swimmers do, she could not keep her head above the water. Fortunately a fisherwoman jumped in and rescued her. The woman, a practiced swimmer, had not needed to think about how to swim, but the little girl (who had only learned by watching) did not have the skill even to stay afloat. After they were safely out of the water, the fisherwoman took the girl's hand and said “Come to the shallows, child, and I will teach you how o swim.” -Kevin J. Anderson

Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it. ^^ Not just cool, but right on the money, metaphorically! One of those things I read when I was a kid and it stuck with me. It is from a star wars book. I am glad ya liked it, it took me forever to find it on the internet and I don't own the book.

It takes time and persistence. Keep on trying, keep on expecting it to work and it'll eventually will.
