Thread: Having To Read Your Dreams Out Of A Book?! And Other Questions

hey, im a semi-new Lucid Dreamer and i had a few questions for the seasoned "masters:"

1) the only way i can induce a dream is by having it first, waking up, then going back into the dream- never loosing consiousness...

2) The only reliable way for me to beome lucid has been to leave my beside lamp on...it wakes me up in the semi-asleep state, then i can go back into my dream lucid...

2.1) as ive been doing this, when i wake, i get TOO awake, because i get excited for my lucid dream that i then wont have.

3) once in a while i will be dreaming, become lucid, then MY DREAM TURNS INTO A BOOK! i have to read my dream, so in the morning i usuially forget the text...any reason why that might be?



if anybody has any answers, solutions, suggestions, advice, PLEASE POST!!!!
