cant look to the right in LD

[kadie]

I have recently realized that I cannot look to the right when in a lucid dream maybe it has something to do with what hemisphere of the brain we use while in LD? Or lack of control? Everytime I search for something in a dream, I am always looking to the left. Anyone ever noticed a similar problem?

This is an interesting problem. Setting your intent through a mantra, such as, "I can look to the right" could help. It might be related to a lack of confidence in dream control, which might be rectified through experience, expectation or even outright willpower. Unfortunately, (or perhaps, fortunately), I haven't experienced this problem, so my advice is very general, at best

If you have a strong grasp on other aspects of dream control (and I mean strong) you could try rotating the world, instead of looking. It reminds me of a Futurama episode where they describe that the ship propels itself by moving the universe around it, instead of moving it through the universe. Other than that, I'd go with what Splodey said; mantras or willpower. Now I'm curious about using this to look around I'll have to try it myself.

The only one who is creating limitations in dreams is yourself.

The only one who is creating limitations in dreams is yourself. Punchlines like these make sense but don't give help. Explain to him/her more of it.

Next time you are in your lucid dream speak out loud in a firm tone "I WILL now turn my head to the right!" or "This is MY Dream and I can turn my head to the right." This tactic has worked for me in the past when I was having trouble flying.

Punchlines like these make sense but don't give help. Explain to him/her more of it. I know, just trying to be a mysterious dude. Haven't had that sort of problem, so I can't really elaborate. Practise makes perfect. Yet another punchline.
