Sometimes not females. :lol:

My own curious mind seems to be the big distraction for me. I like to look at things in lucid dreams, because they are always so clear and vivid, looking at something is like zooming in with an LSD microscope...it's fascinating. I used to have the sexy boy problem when I began, but I just slowly kind of got over it. Those needs can be fulfilled in real life. :P
I didn't mean it sexually, well at least not just sexually ;) For some reason it's always the dialogue with females that involves me too much into their plot and I lost lucidity over that twice.
For some reason I don't go caveman mode when I LD, but I really like to fly. It's like... "oh, lucid! wheres the next window.. *jumps*"
Yeah, and you can just go visit an electron microscope in real life, too. Nah, you know, it's just *not the same* :)
I too (non-lucidly though) get distracted just looking at things up close: bizarre door latch mechanisms, especially, for some reason really fascinate me and I stand there looking and thinking about how they work for a long time.
And lucidly, when I really *look*, I get fascinated by the colors and the patterns....I can just stand and look and look....
My brain always puts me in the most badass environment and i usually end up exploring instead of doing some crazy dream control magic.
I still enjoy the journeys that i have but i just want time to fly and pull cars out of my pocket.
Σ(゚ロ゚) Yeah..Another possibility other than guys would be a clone of themselves. - w -" The possibilities are endless. Not that I do it but its sadly possible. OTL
WOAH! That's cool. XD Never thought of pulling a car out my pocket before.
Lol, just thought of it myself, now I want to try it.
lack of enthusiams
Happens to me too at times. Maybe changing the dream scene into a certain genre(SciFi/Mecha/Action...etc) could make things more interesting. : D
Definitely what I need to be able to do. I'm still trying and I freaking can't teleport x(
My last LD, a night ago, I tried to fly, I didn't try flying yet in my dreams, and I was too scared! I increased the dream vividness before through concentrating at small details, so the dream was very real I couldn't jump! I was like "it's just a dream, do it!", then just bailed lol
I pray to the LDing gods, please grant me the ability to teleport! And to the Valve gods, please send me a portal gun into my LDs! XD
Lol Aww. Don't worry you'll get it and yeah, high heights can be kind of scary. Honestly, I find myself teleporting in the weirdest ways. Like closing my eyes and shaking my head when something scary is happening or when I'm fighting I jump, close my eyes and focus on a target to teleport to.Its great you were able to increase the vividness and it sounds like your doing great so far. Maybe having a dream flying buddy will help you get use to the height. Having one helped me get use to it.Haha x D I can see that happening for you soon. Maybe you should try calling them in your dream.Quote:

I actually want to get a dream guide to help me in my LDs! I chose a pretty anime girl to be my DG! ÔvÔ
When I would call her, she would come because she's my DG and my expectation expects her to. Also she'd help me in control, and teleportation! Tell her to do the old door trick!
The only problem is... Ughm yup you must have guessed it already haha I love LDing!
I'm even getting my own little dream tablet that's supposed to control the dream! Has all the functions! Open portal, summon, increase dream vividness, etc. It's gonna be awesome!!
Haha Sounds like a cool DG and its good that you enjoy lucid dreaming so much. O.o A dream tablet!? Send me one. XDlol
Dont know what to do most of the time :huh:
Eyesight, it seems to go all derpy. But I can handle it :D
My Distraction? Bad Guys and Saboteurs.
Dream Creatures and Astral Beings that try to ruined my Lucid Dream or harm the more friendly Dream Creatures that are in the scene. A mix of my fears, vices, and imagination manifesting as monsters or sub-human creatures. I'm a guy that strongly believes in "Fighting the good fight" And i try to remain positive of life. So a lot of the Negative things i carry stay in the back of my mind. Seems like they come to me in dreams and trying to destroy the lucid dream and make it a nightmare by making my fear grow, possibly from my doubts or me actually fearing for what happens to my dream allies/guides ..and it can become a battle.
Granted this situation happens from time to time. But "Bad Guys" is probably my biggest distraction .
I know how you feel about the bad guys thing but its good to know you remain positive. :) Once I had a dream a zombie was after me and I ran into the room where my dream guide was. Surprisingly he told me to remain calm as he was trying to sleep/relax. But I kept insisting the monster zombie be destroyed or it would eat us. He got tired of my whining and like always ended up beating up the zombie than came back in the room. I guess what I'm trying to get out of this is sometimes we don't even have to fight in dreams. Perhaps thinking of another outcome and not giving into the distraction is enough.
That's true. I have a tendency to face my fears aggressively, especially if the nightmare is compelling and appears dangerous enough. I know it's easier to "will them away" But i get caught up in the moment as a challenge to my psyche. Gives me the notion that it won't come back if i do it this way. Destroy the mental block or mind invader in your mind, and it won't settle again to haunt you. At least that's how i see it.
But your right about just relaxing though, that is so much easier.
Lol (〃^∇^) b That is a good one! Clever choice of words LouiaB.
Thank you!! :D
I actually discovered a new dream weakness. It's an idea or a worry that I keep getting while lucid. I keep worrying that the dream would turn black, and because I keep worrying about that, it does turn black!
Being haunted by a thought that kills my dream lol
