Thread: Sudden difficulty remembering to Reality Check

Could it be that while most of you wants to lucid dream, maybe some part of your mind does not want to know, is not ready yet?

My mind and I are currently struggling with myself: most of me wants to remember every dream and every fragment, and yet I have had two dream related incidents that made me realize that part of me is beginning to question the need to remember every dream fragment - it's my foolish and lazy part, I guess.

While of the last 21 dreams or dream fragments that I remember, a staggering 12 had dreaming as the subject of the dream, I have only become lucid once during these 21 dreams.

In the past I have had a dream where one of my dream characters kept telling me that this is a dream and he is lucid dreaming and I did not make the leap to becoming lucid myself, and I have also had dreams when I became barely aware that this is a dream but without any added level of awareness beyond that (kind of a back of the mind awareness that this is a dream).

I think our mind is just weird. I have decided to accept that it is. If my mind wants to play games with me, then I am going to accept that, and laugh at its antics.

That's quite an interesting thought. I won't rule out the possibility, but every conscious part of me absolutely and entirely wants to lucid dream. I suppose it's possible that a subconscious part of me doesn't want to.
