Anyone who has visited my thread on Age and Lucidity knows that as an older guy I have only recently begun this amazing journey but I have immersed myself in every bit of information available both here at Dream Views and out their on the wide, wide web.

I have tried pretty much every induction technique and I spend hours every day in awareness training and I guess in the process I have been developing a somewhat personalized approach to lucid dreaming.

Of late I have been finding myself slipping into what I can only describe as a state of passive lucidity in almost every dream. I'll be in a normal but very vivid dream and I'll casually notice something out of place. With no "aha! moment" I'll just smile and realize that I am again lucid. Then, instead on flying off into some adventure, I just let the dream go on while I watch and even participate with my lucidity surrounding me like a comforting cloud of total awareness. Once in a while something will happen that causes me to change the scene....but not often. These are very satisfying dreams that always leave me feeling that I took something back across the threshold upon awakening.

I attribute this passive lucidity to my age a bit i guess. I am that way in life now, so why not in my dreams, right? I also attribute the natural realization of lucidity to my ADA training where I constantly look for any little thing that seems out of place during the day and stop to question that version of reality.

So......are any of you ever enjoying this passive lucidity or are you all just always flying all over the place having excellent adventures?
