      Subconscious resistance? Challenge accepted.









      Et cetera.

      These are the thoughts of one sad dreamer as he pondered the history of his lucidity.
      And then... he realized something. His mind was good, surprisingly good, at resisting.
      Seep.
      Caffeine.
      Hypnosis.
      Everything.
      Including his subconscious mind, which he realized had been doing an astoundingly good job at keeping gullible and assumptious and NOT LUCID for a time span of A WHOLE YEAR.
      Of attempts, that is. Only three have worked.
      "Is he... it... they[?] anything independent? Could I....

      threaten

      ...my subconscious?"

      The boy-to-be-a-man leaped to his feet and shouted "YOU'RE ON! NO MORE SLEEP FOR YOU!"
      He snickered and thought to himself (literally) 'Let's just see who lasts the longest, shall we?'

      Well, mind layers...

      ......let the games begin!
      Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week; you have a schedule, a calendar... Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
      A fear of time running out.

      You and me both. I haven't had a lucid dream in YEARS. I started lucid dreaming through WILD, and then on to lucid dreams while I actually slept. Long story short, something happened in a dream and I've had the worst lucid dreamer's block of all time. Signed up here with the hopes that I can get it back. There seem to be a lot of alternate techniques here that I'm hoping will help. When i started, I didn't really know anything about lucid dreaming. I'm totally amazed at how complicated it is. I have my work cut out for me. I hope you work it out...and then tell me what you did! It used to be so easy! I'm stumped!

      You can do it! To use a Matrix reference: Neo - "I need guns lots of guns."

      The guns against your subconscious would be intention and awareness. Intention is your hand gun, awareness is your freaking Machine gun!

      Agents would be dream-characters chasing you and doing everything they can in order to stop you from realizing the truth. That your world isn't real.

      You as a dreamer are Neo and you are the chosen one!

      In this context let's say I am Morpheus and I say "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."

      Follow the white rabbit. Knock... Knock...

      Ok sorry got a little carried away But if you need help this forum is the Zion so just ask
      Other than that watch the Matrix you can learn A LOT from it

      Oh, boy. Da' Matrix. That movie. 8) Well, I'm happy for the support, but I now realize that I was being a bit ambiguous.

      What I meant by my (shall we say) rant was that I'm starving myself of sleep. Late nights, no nights, some naps, sleep here and there, but on average a very small amount of sleep.
      Hey, it's an experiment. Maybe I'll fall directly into REM sleep this way. Maybe I'll not get any REM at all. maybe I'll finally have a nightmare for once. Maybe... maybe I'll just be a tired, tired college dude.

      Anyways. Wish me luck!

      According to some research which I did when I had just started looking into lucid dreaming, you have to be well rested in order to attain lucidity while dreaming. This means that perhaps you should do the opposite of starving yourself of sleep and try and get more sleep than usual. Of course, seeing as I have only ever had one lucid dream, I cannot tell you whether or not this makes a huge difference but according to what I have read it does.
