How do you dream about a subject, a theme, a fantasy in other words. Once I get lucid or really aware I start thinking too much and I am not sure that just by me saying 'hey, this is a dream, I can do whatever I want' and then all these characters I've been writing about appear and we have a good time.

I've noticed that when I do reality testing, I've been doing those Daily Reality Check things from Shift where you click on a page of 'magic zeros' and get a theme for that day. Today is bathrooms and I have to rc each time I go potty or pass by the bathroom.

I've noticed that each time I do the reality checks and the afirmations and the being aware of what is going on in my world and trying to remember a dream and so on that my brain becomes quite 'grown up' and blank. And this happens in dreams also when I get really aware, things start to just stop and nothing magical happens, like if I tried to make some ficitonal character appear and have a 'venture it wouldn't work.

I dunno. I guess at my age I should just be greatful for any crumbs before the dreams stop for good :-)
