I have a problem when it comes to lucid dreaming. If I tell my mind not to think about something (during a WILD or a dream), what does it do? Oh man, I can't stop thinking about it. This is always the case. |

I suggest old fashioned meditation and though control exercises to be able to focus in single thing is invaluable skill in the waking world too |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
It's much easier focus your thoughts on what you want if you phrase them positively and avoid negations; think about what you want to think about instead of what you do not want to think about. |

I agree with Unelias. Also, when it comes to NOT thinking about something, try to distract yourself. Also, just give it time and experience. I'm probably responsible for you recently reading that (), but just give it time to wear off. When you are lucid focus on your dream goals, the environment, try to talk out loud and just focus on these tasks. |

Ok I got myself some time to wrote something I used to train long ago, both for sake of martial arts and psionics. You can do these before you go to sleep or anytime you see fit. Time can vary from 5 minutes to 20 minutes or more if you really want to. |

Thanks, I read every post above and thanks for everyone's time and input. I'll be trying these over the holidays and will post an update on how I'm doing. |

Yeah it's a proven fact that your subconcious cannot process negatives. Try telling yourself, right now, NOT to think about a pink elephant. You can't physically stop yourself. The best you could hope for would be to flood your thoughts with other random crap before it gets a chance to think about that pink elephant. In a dream, however, that would probably pose quite a threat to your lucidity. |

I remember a dream I had a while ago, in fact, I just read my note of it here recently and basically it was this. A very clear message of "Focus on what you want, not what you don't want." - It was a very powerful message because of this realization I had: Do you realize how many things we do NOT want. How many relationships, possessions, we do NOT want? It's about 95% of things we could never afford or even want - and there's 5% left. Focus your energy on what you want - the other goes on "forever". Does this help? |

"What if I were to tell u that you can take control...of all of this? Look at all these people. Seems as though they're just all chatting away? Nothing to do with u. And yet., maybe they're only here because u wanted them to. U are their god. U can make them obey u or even destroy u."
-- Vanilla Sky (movie)
Yes it helps. |
