Hello there fellow Dreamviews members! As some may know, I have been here a while, I am a fairly active member, and am obsessed with lucid dreaming. Yet I am incapable of having them (so far, at least). |

Considering the lack of actual knowledge other than speulation known about lucid dreaming, I really don't know. I've never met anyone who experiences it like you...do you think it might be some odd shared dream, but more so you watching someone else's instead of participating? It could just be your failure to lucid dream the first few times gave ou subconscious doubts, making you more likely to fail, and each time you failed again you felt you had an inability to dream? The whole spectating dream type thing could just be a different outlook you have on life changing the way you dream...but I'm not sure. Good luck. |

What are you doing to try to lucid dream? Are you doing reality checks? Do you regularly keep a dream journal? How much do you sleep? Are you taking any medication that could effect your dreams? You don't have an inability to lucid dream. You just have some blocks that you can work through. |

I try WILD almost every night (about 5:30 AM), and I always go to sleep thinking over and over "I will have a lucid dream". My entire life is based around questioning reality. If I were stubborn enough, I would say I probably notice small little details more than any other human being. I always notice even the smallest little odd thing in real life, that would suggest that it isn't real life. I don't keep a dream journal, but I do remember 1 - 2 dreams every night with extreme detail, and I can remember dreams for 5 years ago with perfect detail, so I don't think that is an issue. I sleep 8 hours each night. I do not take any form of medication, I have never touched any kind of drugs, I have never smoked, I don't drink. That's really all. |

It seems if you can process "It is all 'cause i'm dreaming" with in the astral dreamscape then that alone should trigger you. & You say this everynight with in the dreamscape amazing!! This is a talent that u must exploit. If I were in your position i would try the wake back to bed method it will add more awareness to your thoughts before you even make your lucid statements at night. & Im a avid supporter of it because it has yeilded several lucid dreams for me with in the last month. namaste |

Actually, I do WBTB, I have trained myself to wake up naturaly at 4:00 almost every night. I think my problem is that when I think "dream" or "lucid dream" I don't put any thought to what the words mean. The word dream doesn't invoke anything in my mind when I say it. But when other people say it I immediately focus all of my attention on that word, as if it shocks me. |
|
I agree the words dont mean anything if there is no feeling behind it, or conscious intent. Personally I hit some what of a dry spell with wbtb so i tweaked the time i wake up and go back to sleep, and that seem to work for me. It is in no means consistent yet but i am experimenting to get there. Im also looking at the days during the week wbtb did work and then trying to duplicate the process during those days of the week in the morning. |

I wish you good luck on your journey, you know its been a long time since I lucid dream too..but the last time I lucid dream I was about to give up on it. Finally the frustration of not being lucid in my dreams went to my head in the dreaming world and I became lucid because of it. I really hope you find a method that works..Just keep at it never give up. |

It seems like the average persons problem is that they just don't remember dreams. It sounds like yours is that you arnt even present in your dreams. This seems no different than the people who want to be lucid but can't remember their dreams in the first place, you have to have the right dream setup first. Finding a way to have first person dreams would greatly help you get in the right dream set up to gain lucidity. Like your trying to complete step 2 without completing step 1 |

Lucid Goals
Short term
convince a dc they're in a dream, get high, go swimming
Long Term
have a deild, continue a relationship, stop time
I am more interested in the nature of your dreams than why you are not becoming lucid. Are you saying you don't feel or experience anything in the dream in first person? |

Have you ever tried pulling away from the tv screen to see the whole tv set? especially after you know you are dreaming? |
|
The thing is, my conscious mind isn't aware it is dreaming, everything is still occurring in my subconscious mind. I am not really lucid, it just seems my subconscious is obsessed with dreams. |
|
I still don't quite understand how you can think that and not be lucid. Can you explain ANY more clearly? Usually when i become lucid in a dream I have this sense that I really knew it was a dream all along and I just wasn't focused enough to let that be a conscious thought, but this literal TV thing is just so strange to me. |
|
Well... The thing is, it is still a normal dream, with my conscious turned off and everything, it is just that the spectating version of me projected from my subconscious is constantly thinking about how it is a dream. If it actually got to the point where my true conscious mind was awoken and aware that it is dreaming, the dream world would suffer the consequences of my lucid dream power. It seems like when I am dreaming my conscious is completely off, and cannot be awoken into the dream. |
