I know I am a newbie so you might want to disregard this, but from what I can tell the subconsious tries to keep us from becoming lucid in our dreams. Does anyone know why? |

This seems to happen, and I have no idea why. Maybe it's because, your subconscious comes up with the dream setting and scenario as though it's supposed to be real life, so it 'wants' you to continue thinking it's real life, and the dream's value is taken away if you declare that it isn't. I guess the real answer might depend on what the purpose of dreaming is in the first place, if there is a purpose. For example, if one of the purposes of dreaming is to set up scenarios which make you face your fears, your subconscious might create a situation and 'plan' for you to face a fear. But then you realize you're dreaming, so now your consciousness is in control of what happens and your subconscious gets 'angry' because its plans for you are ruined. |

Some say you can "speak" to your subconscious in a LD. Maybe someone could ask theirs. |

i dont personally think anything is holding you back from lucid dreaming. the way i look at it when your dreaming your sub-conciouse mind comes into action while your conciouse mind rests. So Sub-con mind takes over which is somehting you dont have control over. "when governments catch spies they give them a drug, which puts your sub-counciouse mind at work, meaning they will get an answer to whatever question they want, as the drug blocks out your conciouse mind" |

I think that the reason it may do that is because secretly you feel it is wrong in some way, or perhaps you decided secretly the subconscious will do that when you realize "Hey, I'm dreaming!" ? |

LD GOALS:[ ] have my very first remembered lucid dream [ ] Fly[ ] attend & let my dream come up with the concert of the century. [ ] have a picnic with my favorite characters
I tend to think that dream characters will say what you would expect someone to say in real life. If you say to somebody you meet in waking life "this is a dream" they will likely say "no it isn't" and act like you are crazy. If you try to act on your percieved lucidity, people will likely try to tackle you and call the police. Why should dream characters behave any different? |
