Thread: Is it impossible for some people to lucid dream?

Then you need to work on your Dream Stabilization and Clarity Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views.
Don't be excited when you go into a dream, as this will spoil it for you, read up on control, and practice.
Everyone can lucid dream, don't worry.

Everybody can lucid dream, I think you're just having a little bit of problem when it comes to Dream Stabilization. I suggest you go to the link Arch just posted. Hope this helps

Yea. I've Bern trying dream stabilization. I guess Il just keep trying.
Practice makes perfect!

I used to wake up frequently in sleep paralysis after gaining lucid control. After a while my mind just caught on to the fact I was trying to add amusement in my dreams. Sleep paralysis can be a frightening experience without fulling understanding it lol.
I wish you luck in your travels friend.

Unless you have serious neural problems, you can LD just fine. I think it would show somewhere else too, if you did

It is just excitement as said. It will go away after enough experience.

Its only impossible, if you beleive it is

I highly doubt it...after all, we all have dreams (except the man who hasn't slept in 33 years) and we all have consciousness.

I think you're either getting too excited, or start to worry about stabilizing the dream too much. For example, as soon as you become lucid, you might think: "I have to hurry up and stabilize this dream! If I don't do it right now I'm going to wake up! ".

If this is true, you could try to calm yourself down by saying to yourself that you're going to wake up eventually anyway, so there's no need to worry about waking up. You also might want to tell yourself that it's not a big deal if you do wake up. You can simply go back to sleep and try again. That way you probably won't worry about waking up so much.

I hope this helps somehow.
Here is a muffin cheering you on: I know, I should stop using the muffin at the end of my posts.

It's all in your mind. Don't think about how hard lucid dreaming is, think about how hard you're trying.

All you can do is keep going, and practice. You WILL eventually get there, keep that in mind.

You can't learn only by GUIDES how a dream works, to quote my favourite movie The Matrix:

Morpheus: "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

The guides here on the forum and every advice you get should only be seen as GUIDELINES.
To learn how to stay in the dream and to explore the beautiful world of lucid dreaming you have to have own experiences and learn what works and what does not.
But in my experience these are the problems YOU have to solve.

First of all the excitement, of course you will be excited when you finally get you precious lucid dream, but to overcome this you can either convince yourself that you will not become excited, or have many lucid dream so you wont get excited anymore.

The second step is to stabilize the dream in someway, you can either use some of the guides here or try out own things. I did for example throw myself up into the air, put my legs infront of me and landed on my butt, that made everything shake and my mind became clear as "something clear" what ever you get the picture

The third problem I have encountered and what I am right now struggling with.
The dream will allways try to trick you that you are still awake, even when you are lucid, it will mix with your feelings or add something in the dream that will make you believe that you are awake.
To fight this, it's the same answer as to everything else, experience. Have lots of lucid dream and each time try to learn something from them about how to maintain the lucidity state.

Well obviously we are not trying to free the minds of the people in the dream.. (or are we? haha)

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Morpheus: If you are not one of us, you are one of them."

Believing is seeing. If you believe you can then you can. If you believe you cannot then you cannot
