Hey all, i'm new to the website and this whole lucid dreaming thing, but I want to learn really badly how to control my dreams. There is one slight problem, though. I'm one of the most idiotic people in the world for believing ANYTHING in my dream, and I always believe that im still awake in real life.

No matter what im dreaming about, no matter how absurd, I always think its real. And its very annoying.

Here is what is very disappointing to me: When I am dreaming, I always still think i'm awake in real life.... So that means I can never have a flying dream, or do anything impossible in normal life, because I always think its real.

Please if anybody has advice on how to break that literal habit, I would love to know. I think its a shame that I cant take advantage of doing anything you could imagine, just because Im too literal and think its always real or dangerous in real life.
