Weird lucid dreams

**IAmMaybeAPerson** · 02-21-2016 09:42 PM

So, for the past few days, I've been having these 'lucid' dreams, where I'll tell myself I'm dreaming and proceed to do things I'd do if I were lucid. But I have trouble flying, and the dreams are fuzzy afterwords. And I don't realise some weird things, like a talking walrus, or people appearing out of nowhere, talking to me, then disappearing.

Any reason why this is happening, and how to turn them into full lucid dreams?

Learn from where you didn't succeed and reaffirm your intention while going to sleep.

Sounds like you need to raise your level of awareness, as soon as you're not paying attention your subconscious change the direction of the dream again.

For example I noticed that I was interacting with the dream with out changing the scene and getting caught up in it. So I set the intention to become lucid and change the dream scene. And I did.

Whatever intention I set out to achieve when I'm falling asleep is what gets carried out if I become lucid. Even if I'm not fully aware.

Just means you're not lucid enough. If you realized you're dreaming than you were certainly lucid, but you can do certain things to 'turn up' the intensity and your clarity. If you have trouble flying it's only because you don't think you can fly. Expectation is key. When you realize you're dreaming try doing some maths, or just touching the ground or something. This is supposed to 'wake up' your mind. Just keep practicing; you'll get it.

Also, you can find answers to your question almost anywhere here on DV or other places. Slightly redundant.

Congratulations on your lucid dream! Yeah, it sounds like you need to make yourself more aware of what is happening around you by practice your RC. I honestly think it looks like you need to re-stabilize your lucid dream.

For me, when I'm flying or wanting to phase thru things, I start to lose lucidity because of the factors of my emotional state at the time or just because I just no longer aware that I'm dreaming. This is when I try to stabilize my dreams by Re-Stabilizing, like Hand Rubbing or Reality Checks. There are a lot of tutorials that will help you here on this forum.
