Thread: In the game of lucid dreaming, is the subconscious an opponent?

Subconsciousness is relative, if your awareness is of a high enough level then it would probably no longer be sub-conscious because you could see all of it.

This has been my experience. In an LD things do not "just happen." They happen in response to thought processes that were very quick and subtle. You can train enough to get ahead of this process and counteract any part of it, before it effects the actual dream. You also can learn to stear this process, so that much of your control is using this sort of pathway, as opposed to just trying to force the dream to do as you demand.
