Thread: Dream ADD

Hi everybody it's been a while.

Anyway, as usual I'm very un-disciplined when it comes to my lucid nature. It comes and it goes. But lately I've been reading up on lucid dreaming and I suppose that triggered something in my sleeping mind and I've been having several dreams in which I go lucid for a few minutes and then totally drop it.

The most recent one I had last night. As it went, I was at a doctor's office and went to the bathroom. While inside a stall, I realized I was dreaming and the room started to shake, but I told myself that I would remain in the dream if I remained calm. I tried to focus on a tile on the floor as if I were to suck myself into it and rebuild my dream world from there (that was my intention). When this didn't happen I simply walked back into the doctor's office. Realizing that I was asleep, I decided to form a knife and slit the doctor's throat (yes, very morbid, but I was aware I was dreaming so it didn't make a difference).

After this, I just seemed to get bored with the dream and gave myself up to it. I really don't understand why I let this happen, if I were awake I would have been overjoyed at the occasion. Up until now, my main problem with lucids has been that I get too many ideas at once and I wake myself up. In this case, I seemed to just lose interest.

My question is; was it just me, or is this some sort of dream control thing everyone goes through?
