Thread: Non-lucid dreams evolve too

Hey guys and gals 8)

I've been lucid dreaming for about 2 months now It's been awsome.
I think one of the factors why I was so quick getting my first lucid dream (3 days) was because I remember my dreams really well, and have since I was a child. I can usually remember 4-5 dreams from each night if they are in fragmenst, or a whole big continous dream if I have one of those (which isent often).

Anyway, the thing is, I've noticed that since I started lucid dreaming my non-lucid dreams have become different. It seems that my consciousness is much more in non-lucid dreams than before.

An example:
Last night I dreamt I was in the states at a footballgame(american) and a woman, which I don't know, gave me the keys to her car. Now, if this dream would have occured before I started lucid dreaming I would have taken the keys and most likely lead to nothing, though there ofcourse would have been a possibility that I would have used the keys or done something with them. But ok, In the dream she gives me the keys, and I think: "Why is she giving me the keys" ? But I take them and head off down some stairs, to the parkinglot and try to find the car. She had described it as an old mazda car (made in japan) and I started looking for the car. Now this would not have happened before I started lucid dreaming.

When we practice lucid-dreaming we are practising mental awareness. We are then trying to imply this in our dreams. So its natural that our ordinary dreams are also more rational, or at least we are in them. But this practice shoulnt just improve our awareness in dreams, it should in real life. Im yet to see any improvement in my awareness of my surroundings, but Im sure they are to come.
