Hi everyone. Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Anyways, let me get to the point, since I have a reputation of being long-winded. ... I've decided to get back into the game of lucid dreaming. Soem of you may recall that when I was here, forever and a day ago, I had said my mom told me to quit the whole dream thing and for a while all my lucids shattered once I realized what was going on. I've never really accomplished much in my lucids but it's still nice to have them, and maybe someday I'll get somewhere, so I need your help. Here's what I need help with:

I need some advice on fear. Fear in the sense of afraid of what's going to happen even though I know I can control it.

I need some advice on belief. Belief in the sense that I KNOW 100% I am dreaming, and how to keep that belief instead of faltering.

I need some advice on stability. I know some say to spin to make the dream stronger, but that makes my dreams weaker when I try it.

And last but not least, I need to know how to get a handle on moving, or maybe not moving?? Maybe the following will help.

This is an example of a lucid dream I had in which fear, and doubt kept me from doing something. 'I'm at my Granny's house and I decide to leave because I don't want to waste my dream this way. I head down a familiar street and see all these people running towards me, and branches all in the street like a terrible storm had passed though. They all looked terrified, and I was curious to know what was going on, but I got this dreadful feeling and decided to go in the opposite direction.' (Here fear of the unknown kept me from exploring, though I was aware I was dreaming) Later on in the dream. ... 'I want to attempt to fly, but I don't believe I will be able to do it, so I don't succeed' (In this instance I wanted to do something, but doubted I could, because I felt it would be too difficult.

What I would like to know is, what can I do to solidify the fact that what's happening isn't real, and that I can control everything if I believe I can? I think my lucids will continue to be dull so long as I don't fully believe.

And the final thing, moving. In my last lucid (a few days ago), I lost my lucidity because in my dream I was running, and I thought that maybe in real life I was flailing in my bed. That thought caused me to feel "myself" and I awoke (later on I realized that it was a second false awakening, but not until I had awakened for real). On another occasion inside a lucid dream (last weekend) I felt myself moving and woke up for real. What can I do about this? Maybe I'm doubtfully that I'm moving? Maybe I'm not really moving at all? IDK, anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you can help me. I would have come to chat to ask, but for some reason my web won't connect to it.

PMs and e-mails are welcome as well! I hope you can help. Thank you!
