Thread: Something is not connecting...

You can't change reality. When you have this dream of yours, and you realize you can manipulate it, you should be able to realize that, since you can't do it in real life, you must be dreaming.

I'm very glad you said that, because it has brought my attention to two things that may be important.

A) while I realize I can do anything, the feeling is not so much that I can will anything to happen (like I got the few times I was lucid) but that anything is possible. That what ever desires or notions I have are possible within the rules of the world. An example would be that if I had the notion to fly, I wouldn't just will it like in lucid dreams, but might find a physical school on teaching it, or might actually acquire the ability from a vending machine. The point being that what I want to do is gotten from the world around me, not my own will.

B) I never really manipulate anything in these dreams. Not that I can recall (these dreams are vivid, I can recall a great deal) Oh I can talk to the people in them, pick up and interact with objects...but I never set out to do those fantastic things which I want to do in lucid dreams. In the dreams I set out to do them, or I go find them, but never make it. To be honest, I don't seem to be in a huge hurry to, its like the place is so nice that I just take my time and enjoy the journey.
