When you are having a Dream your logic center part of the bran turns off. That is why if your flying in a dream it seems completely normal. |

Ok, since we know that all of are dreams aren't real, and that it is just a dream, why can't we become lucid every time? I mean, we know it's a dream, we know that we can control our dreams, but why can't we become lucid when we know we will have a dream each night? |

I know but, we know we are going to be in a dream earlier in the day, and all throughout the day. So why don't we know as soon as we are in a dream, that it's just that? A dream? |

Maybe it's just unnatural. When you watch yourself fall asleep, do you notice how all these pictures and plots spring up and work on their own? They don't need us to direct them, it's like watching TV. So maybe there's no consciousness, nothing that would start remembering that we're in a dream. |

This is true. It's our imagination that is active. This is why people need to practice having lucid dreams. Most of us can agree that we wouldn't want all of our dreams to be lucid. They would lose that WHOOA feeling, if we had them 5 times a night. I also feel that non lucid dreams can be symbolic and we can learn from them. |

Naturals CAN do exactly what you say. It's all about awareness. If you are supremely aware throughout the day, constantly questioning reality, this trains your brain to do the same in your dreams. That is of course a simplification of the process, but you get the idea. |

I've answered this question in another thread. We don't become lucid every time because we're not aware in waking life. IN waking life, we're actually asleep. Constant T.V., video games, and computer screen keeps us distracted from our senses. |

Wow thats a really good question there, never thought about that. I mean, if we don't know we're dreaming, there must be a good evolutionary purpose behind it, I really wonder what it is... I mean, most likely our mind is doing this on purpose, but why would it do this? |

Woman, actually. Well, women. Most of the naturals I've met are women, come to think of it. Though that is based solely on my own perception, and not on any study. |

Hmm I guess I misunderstood the word "natural". I thought it was somebody ALL of whose dreams are lucid. That's pretty unbeliavale, the whole psyche of such a person would have to operate differently. But otherwise there are indeed people who lucid dream every night, thank you for pointing me towards more of them |

No, you didn't misunderstand at all. As I said, my prime example no longer posts here, but she is, as far as I know, lucid in every dream. |
|
i'm not sure how rested i would feel after a month of nothing but lucid dreams. i think lots of people would end up with some serious sleep disorders from always being aware they were dreaming. |

Previously you said that she taught herself to lucid dream every night. That's different from being lucid in every dream Besides, "taught" implies "not natural". So I'm again confused what the word natural means, it looks like people use it differently and there's no signle definition. |
|
Oh, no, sorry I wasn't clear there; I was referring to two different members. Luminous, who I meant by my prime example, is a natural lucid dreamer and is, to my knowledge, lucid in every dream and has been since she was a kid. |

I agree with this 100%. Lucidity means awareness. Living lucid has actually helped me blast my energy at a potentially violent crackhead that was asking me for money on the bus. It's in my non-lucid DJ. I was aware of his violent creepy nature. I had a feeling he was going to harass me, and I would have to intimidate him in order to get him to stop. |

I once made a thread about lucid dreaming on a completely different forum, described what it was, and a couple girls there said that they've always experienced that every night, for as long as they could remember. They didn't even KNOW you could not be lucid when you dream. They are naturals. |
