Thread: Why are my dreams normal and usual

Well, how's your dream recall? Studies show that most dreams are actually about normal, everyday things. Maybe with better recall you can remember the crazier ones.

This shouldn't stop you from getting lucid, though. For instance, back when I was in high school, during the summers I would dream of that god forsaken place very very often, and I taught myself to use that as a dream sign. If you dream about walking around in your house a lot, doing regular things, then in waking life make sure to do plenty of RCs when you're at home.

Yeah my dreams are somewhat normal when I am not lucid, but upon coming lucid that is when they get exciting because I am in control of the dream. Sounds like you just need to practice your recall and read some of the tutorials around here and also look for some reality checks and you should get some LD's going.

Try to think alot of creative nutty things before you fall asleep. Dreams usually evolve around our current thoughts.

Watch the movie Pan's Labrynth before bed. I guarantee you will have some freaky dreams.

Hey I think being creative gives you more interesting dreams. I started writing yesterday, this kinda creepy story (i wrote four pages on the computer) and the next morning I had this crazy dream about it being the end of the world and there was like sights in the sky and below, I cant really remember it. Thats another one of my problem, the more crazier the dream, the less I remember it. "(

Im kind of in the same position as you. My dreams are dull things like going on msn or taking off my contact lenses. but I think its because of dream recal. I think the crazy dreams are so hard to remember cause they make no sense in the real world.

I would just suggest keep writing in your dream journal like i have, and I have had some interesting dreams. also, right when you wake up you have to log your dream, or else you will prob forget it. Dont be lazy and tired i i usually am. sometimes i find when i write my dreams right away ill remember other ones aswell. but gosh its so frustrating when you kinda remember a dream but cant think of the whole thing.

well, yes, that would make sense. You ave dreams according to what naturally happins in your life when your awake. Notice having more dreams of school when in your grade years? I try to constantly be creative, therefor, I constantly have weird dreams. Why , I've even participated in the take-over of earth by extra-terrestrials. Just try to get as creative as possible.

all my dreams are bizzare random scenarios that have people in who i forgot even existed, haha. well hopefully when you get lucid you can make your dreams more interesting. or maybe being active during the day will help. with lots of thoughts running through your head you will probably have better dreams

I actually did have a dream about that, it definitly wasn't one of my freakiest but it wasn't normal.

I would think the normal dreams would be harder to remember... I usally have dreams that are very differnt from real life. Most of my dreams are with people in places I never seen. And I remember them because they are differnt from real life. It's actually good of me not to have many real life dreams because I messed up dreams with real life before because the dream seemed so normal.
