Problem in my lucid

**nitika** · 08-06-2013 10:00 AM

Dear fans

I am lucid dreaming some time now. I use morning induced lucid dreams, which if I do correctly always work. Wake up around 6 in the morning, wait for an hour, go back to sleep and lucid is here. For the past few weeks I was working on getting better control in my dreams, I was quite ok with the vividness. But last couple of days, damn. I become lucid, both time from my fake avakening stage (that happens often), and then I had zero control over my vividnes or my control over things. There is dark, I cant make it light (even that I always succed in that one). And today my son was with me in my first stage of lucid dreaming, that NEVER happen, I am always alone, but he is always with me in my transition to the lucid dreams. I her voices, there is he and then bum lucid dreaming. But today and yesterday, nothing. I knew I have control, but nothing worked. My orders were not working. My vividness was horrible, shouting clearity now and rubbing hands, touching things diddnt work. I kept falling from lucid to fake awakenings.

Anyone knows what was my problem?
Oh yea, and the room was different today. My bedroom, messier. First time too.

There's every chance that you were already at the end of a REM cycle when you started to lucid dream, so you were falling in and out of awareness as your body fought with your mind to try and wake up. Apart from that, maybe you just had a couple of failed attempts which went strangely. Things like that happen, maybe caused by stress in your life, or other factors.

I don't think the change in scenery or the presence of your son has anything to do with anything, personally, it's a dream, they will do as they please. Hopefully this little dry spell will clear up in no time and you'll be back on track

A lot of times, if one thing fails, you expect a bunch of things to start failing
If I fail at something in a dream I either straight up forget about the fail, or I think of something retarded that was the reason that I failed.

I realize I am dreaming. I want to do chidori and I do the hand motions for it. I don't get anything and I try again. This time knowing that the reason I failed the first time was because my mouth was open.

Thanks guys!

Yep, it could be my REM stage was over, afterall usually I go to bed at midnight and then wake at 6 am. Last 2 days, I went to bed around 10 PM, so 2 hours more. Was studying a lot last days and my sleep rythem change a little bit.

I will try my regular 12-6 hours and see what happens.

And yes... The same second things gone down I got this bad feeling of not being able to control things, cause I felt fear of not being able to control.. Thats a circle
