Yeah, also I would suggest trying to maybe become friends with your subconscious? Don't use it for just lucid dreams, but use it for that and think about it |

I had three our four lucid dreams this morning (a huge jump in progress, as I've barely been having any for almost a year). |

Brilliant idea. I'm definitely going to try that, especially since I love honesty and hate how most people are liars lol. |
|
Well, first of all summoning. |

Yes, I'm aware that "they" are my own subconscious lol. =] Typically when I try asking my subconscious questions I expect it will come through one of the DC's. Though there have been a couple times I have just gotten an answer out of nowhere. |
|
Well, sort of. |

This is an interesting thread. I would like to pitch this idea: |

So ... is this the real universe, or is it just a preliminary study?
Honestly, I feel good with myself when I'm assertive and authoritative with my dream characters. Your unconscious regulates the overwhelming majority of your behavior during you waking life, so being lucid is kind of a payback of the conscious over the unconscious self. Lucidity is in these situations my way of affirmation in the midst of chaotic creation. |

DCs always do what I want them to without asking... if I want them to. Other times I just try to let it do whatever and it acts like normal (just whatever it does in non lucids). |

Two alternate viewpoints (and I am not sure I fully sucscribe to either, though both hold some appeal): |

You may say I'm a dreamer.

That second hypothesis seems very reasonable to me, as our brains consist of countless cells, which each are living entities in their own right. Maybe consciousness for one person is actually the "collective unconscious" of all the brain cells ... |

I have been thinking of this recently too. I have a plan to express gratitude for lucidity and supplicate the dream for clarity, vividness, and stability, as opposed to just demanding it. Thanks for sharing! |

These questions always have the exact same responses. |

(This seems like we're about to enter in the question of "Why Dream Control fails?" ) |

I believe there is a solution to this conundrum. The problem lies in the term expectation itself. We use the word expectation, for both conscious and unconscious expectations. Unconscious expectation are mental schema, while conscious expectation lies closer to intent. |

Zoth. I simply love your 100% scientific approach to LDing, I am the same, but I do not have the psychology background you do. |
