and I mean itWow, what a direct sign your dream has shown you about your conscious state of mind.

You are stuck, you are not transcending one of the jhonnas properly. The wobbly feeling you are getting is called the 'second plateu' 4 dex trippers. For Buddhists I believe it is the 2nd Jhonna, but I may be incorrect. The state is one that is transitional: the mind is shutting down, but only partially, your animal brain is working fine but it has lost connection with your cognescent mind, so your motor skills go out the window. The discomforst you feel in everyday life is due to this same problem, your are not relaxing enough, slow down, nothing is bad about this state, it only needs to be transcended for it is integral to much more enlightened and lucid states of mind.

[I say this because I have experienced the state many times, sober, sleeping, and tripping, and understand how to move through it, move with it. Deep 8hr meditations.]

Quit trying to understand, it is understood, you know already, you are just confused by the bombardment of sensation.

To understand you are dreaming, think about nothing when you go to sleep, and I mean it NOTHING. Do not let your mind drift, even to concentrating on your lucid goal. Trust your will, you will dream and remember if you believe in yourself and stop trying so hard. Nothingness. A clear mind for clear dreams.

Once you start to have peaceful, non-stressful dreams, you will find that lucidity is second hand, that it was available to you all the time, but that your mind and its loops of paranoia (what if i don't dream, what if its bad, what if whatever) were all that hindered you.

Meditate. free your mind, your dreams will follow.
