Thread: Getting Tackled by DC's

This is a little weird, I have to admit, but it is becoming a serious problem for me when I'm trying to LD. It seems that almost every time I realize that I'm dreaming, I get tackled by some random DC and woken up(usually I don't even see them). It's gotten so bad that now every time I become lucid I think "oh no I'm going to get tackled!" and my fear of it happening causes it to happen. Then even if I can get past the random tackle I usually end up running into a grim reaper type thing somewhere which comes after me and wakes me up.

The biggest problem I'm having here is that I'm fearing that these things will happen, so of course they do. Any suggestions on how to stop this?

I constantly used to have this problem... almost as if your dreams are expelling you from them.



Do you smoke weed by any chance?

The answer is simple. Since you have complete control over what goes on in your head (regardless of whether you know it or not) you must either resist the tackle or tell your DC to gtfo! It's easy to say, but much harder to apply. In short, you must overcome it yourself! Not much we can say.

You do NOT have complete control over what goes on in your brain. The unconscious is the master when it comes to subconscious perception.

Run!! Run!!


Or else drive away

Isn't mastering subconscious functions what lucid dreaming is all about? If you are capable of overcoming your unconscious functions, then you have the ability to control them. I am a firm believer that humans are possible at controlling whatever they like about themselves. Does this mean anyone ever does it, or that it's easy? No, not neccessarily.
