      Dream char that wakes me up

      So recently I have "leveled up" so to say in lucid dreaming. I am having 4-6 a night almost every night. They are still kind a short but very vivid. Strange things are happening too, but I will save that for another post. I am wondering if anyone has had this same problem: Every time I have a lucid dream if I call forward a certain dream character I will talk with them for about 3 - 5 seconds and then either wake up or have a false awakening that I realize is false and soon after I really wake up. No matter what I do I wake up when I see this dream character. The dream character is actually someone I know in real life. is it harder to dream about people you know? Please give me some suggestions.

      It seems obvious to just stop summoning that character and if they show up the turn away from them or kill them.

      4-6 a night every night? Wow.

      I suspect that your expectation that you will see this DC and that will cause you to awake is what is really responsible for you wakeing. Try to let go of this.

      I had a DC that was causing trouble for me every night, and eventually I simply confronted the DC and asked him why he was doing it. His answer was really shocking, so now whenever I'm lucid and have a troublesome DC, I ask them what message they have for me, because I've found them to usually be messangers from my subcounsious mind.

      try to stay active in the dream while talking, don't just stand still. Jogg on the spot, look around, smell stuff. Thats if you can multi-task, maybe it would help if you were a woman!

      Dude, 4-6 lucids a night, whats you secret man?

      No secrets. None that I know of. I stopped lucid dreaming for about 6 months and then I came back to the forums and started studying again. Now lucid dreaming happens all the time. No crazy reality checks or techniques. I listen to that hemi sync sound file and try wilds now and again but I am never successful with wilds. Lately I have been wondering if every thing is a dream. Like life in general. Maybe thats why I am having so many. I just wish they were longer. Guess that will come with time.

      Taking a break looks to have benefited you. By wondering if everything is a dream you mean you are questioning reality frequently in real life yeh? (that works well for me as well)

      Your lucids probably will get longer with practice. (mine certainly have anyway) Once you have them on a regular basis you don't get that rush that you get when starting lucid dreaming and you learn to control your emotions alot better which really benefits in prolonging your lucid dreams.

      That's the secret right there. Knowing that you're constantly lucid dreaming during your waking experience leads to realizing you are dreaming during your dreaming state. Now I ask you this question... Could we really just be dreaming during your waking life and awake while you "dream"? What do you think happens after you die? I like to call it the great awakening.

      Don't let the illusion fool you.

      In other words, Dream Yoga. =) I am also doing this, actually just started it. Question reality every 5 minutes, looking around to see if anything is weird or floating or not supposed to be there. Make sure everything is normal, look really hard for it and even the slightest thing can happen in a dream and you will know it.

      Good advice from psychology student. You need to keep active doing something else while you summon this DC in order to keep yourself in your dream.

      And if that doesn't work, just forget about summoning this DC and follow the flow of your dream to stay lucid longer.

      I've had a similar problem lately as it seems like concentrating on doing anything I want to do brings me out of the dream and back into the physical again.

      Although flying while trying to do the thing I wanted to do has helped, I've pretty much decided to just try going with the flow of my dreams from now on and see where they take me instead of trying so hard to control them.

      maybe you sould try more indirect contact like a phone call rather than actually summoning this person

      Everything makes sense once you stop thinking about it

      That's a great idea. I should have thought of that. Thank you!

      also, if you still feel like you will wake up, remember that once you wake up, stay completely still, dont even open your eyes. You should re-enter SP in a moment or so, and re-enter a dream (this method is DEILD, i forgot who came up with it)
