how to lose moral restrictions in lucid dream

**infisek** · 12-26-2010 05:28 PM

examples: im in university doing my midterm exam and my primary school teacher is there i realize that something is wrong I do checks and im sure that im lucid dreaming but I DO finish the test anyway ??? I mean seriusly why do I waste time like this?

well better example would be: In lucid dream I want to have sex with someone so I summon her all with ease, lets say we are in some crowded place like theatre and I just cant do it infront of all those people. I know its just a dream but its really weird.
..
practical example: traffic lights RED I just stop there and wait. like 10sec ago I killed myself just to be sure that im lucid dreaming but I do stop anyway

I wont bother you with more stories.

I keep telling myself its just a dream but well I just "behave" in certain situations.

PS: these happen even in most vivid dreams I have so I guess its not problem of dream control but my conscience.

That is quite funny

Waiting at a red light in your dream.. lol. I guess you should start to push yourself a little bit at a time. Do a nightly affirmation to will yourself not to behave and to do things that are out of the ordinary. Perhaps a specific goal of driving in the wrong lane or using the wrong sex washroom, or when trying to have sex in public, will the people aorund you to cheer you on.. "YOU CAN DOO IIT!" That would be funny. You would probably laugh. Have u seen Crank? Good movie. Watch it again.

Crank is brilliant.

Exactly how I act in a lot of lucid dreams, except with superpowers! Infisek, maybe next time you realise you're dreaming, just force yourself to do something outrageous, which might reassure yourself that there are no consequences in there. I used to have trouble trying anything death-defying, due to an overly-protective self-preservation instinct. I got over it in time though, you probably will too.

I agree with the above. The best way to get over that sort of thing is to just kind of "force" yourself to do the opposite. If you have to take a test, and you realize you are dreaming, simply refuse to do it. Be audacious about it. Stand up in your chair, in the middle of the room, and yell: "You know what?? This is just a DREAM! I'm not doing this shit!!" and walk out. Lol. Seems a little crude, but if that's what it takes to kick-start your lucid liberation, then so be it.

Also, some moral restrictions are good. For instance, I never attack/kill the innocent, when I'm dreaming. It's just a piece of me that carries over into the dream world, and it's just something I have no desire to experience. So, yeah, some moral restrictions are worth holding onto you, because betraying them might be somewhat telling of a darker desire. But when the actions are morally inconsequential, when dreaming (like running a red light), then I say: JUST DO IT!

I get the same problem all the time. It seems to be my most common form of lucid dreaming. I seems almost like a half-lucid, cause you know your dreaming but on some level you don't. It's annoying cause you care about DCs feelings, you care about people watching. I remember needing to take a crap (even though in real life I didn't need to) and going into a communal toilet. I knew that I was dreaming, so 1) I knew nothing was going to be gained by taking a crap, and 2) that I shouldn't care if any one was watching. But knowing it didn't seem to help.
