Thread: I thought about it. You were right.

I figured out what my problem is with lucid dreaming. For a while I did feel like having lucid dreams. Every time I tried I would have them. I was afraid that if I tried at some point I would fail. And that would lead to more. It was actually kind of stupid.

I actually had something strange happen the other day. Well, I had a false awakening. Not a normal one however. I actually woke up was dreaming I was awake but with my eyes closed trying to go back to bed. When I thought I woke up I decided to try to be lucid. I told myself to do it anyways. Several times I thought I woke up and went back into "dreaming". I was lucid each time I was "dreaming".

Then today I went to this place where I was lucid twice before. The thing about it is that it was created. No spots in my dreams are completely created in my mind. Well, I could not get there right away. I had to sort of trick myself or think somehow that I would find the area by going through a door or area. Well, eventually it worked. (i am stilling trying to figure out how to teleport, lol) I walked through the dream and only saw one person - the bar tender. - btw it was a bar/kitchen/lounge type area. Anyways, I went back to the kitchen and looked around. I picked up something with words on it. For some reason I decided to test looking at words and seeing them change just because that is cool somehow. So I kept doing it and noticed slight changes each time. It was a pretty long lucid dream too.

I decided from now on I will try to become lucid more. That way I can get longer and longer ones. I am thinking I will use that room I created as a sort of base. It is where I can create things or try strange things.

Btw, I noticed that a lot of emotion will wake me up from a lucid dream. Although it does not happen often, it is very annoying. Fear woke me up twice before. It was nothing great. One time before when I was reading numbers on something and watching them change I thought of something evil being in the room which woke me. So of course when I did it again today I woke up. Although nothing happened and the emotion was very little I still woke. Anyways, I think I have done enough testing in that area. I need to work on creating things. Right now I tend to ask other people to get it for me. Works every time at least.
