I can't visualise well in waking life. How will I fare in lucids?

I've had a few lucid experiences so far, mostly involving false awakenings but I'm slightly worried my visualisation skills in real life will hinder my ability to lucid dream. For example, if I read a book, I can't really visualise the words. They just sort of pop up, and I get a vague image sometimes, maybe a face or so, but these images will always be something I've seen before. If someone tells me to imagine an image I haven't seen before, I can't do it, or it's like a bad photoshop in my mind that keeps on fading in and out of the two images i'm sticking over each other. Also my mind is a bit of a hindrance because I can't consciously imagine anything in a straight line - if I imagine it on his own without thinking, such as hitting a tennis ball, it will be in a straight line, but as soon as I try it myself, it zig zags everywhere.

My dreams are much more creative and vivid although they mostly happen in places i'm familiar with. I'm worried that the visualisation problems may hinder my lucid dreaming ability. Like I wouldn't be able to visualise a new world. Escaping my bedroom is a problem, but that's more about control. Does anyone have any experience in visualisation problems and lucid dreaming? Or any ways to improve the visualisation skills?

Well, I can not at all visualize in real life, and I've had at least 100 lucid dreams by now. Given not all of them have been very long or great quality, but the ones that have I haven't had a problem in. And in my experience you don't really need to be able to visualize to be able to lucid dream. What I do instead of using visualization is I just think of what I want to appear or to happen rather than visualizing it, and after this it's a matter of belief, as in, do I think that it will actually happen. So usually this method works for me. On a side note I feel like visualization to create in lucid dreams is more of forced or direct control rather than passive control, and for the sake of dream stability, I definitely like passive control better.

This helped me out lots with visualization. I suck at visualization too, but it's getting much better with practice. The first part teaches you visualization: http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...-topics-q.html

Good luck :)

Thanks for the help guys. I like the idea of Mr Subconscious doing all the work for me and that visualisation tutorial will help for both waking and dream life.
