Thread: Help Me! My subconscience is screwing me over!

Hi Hack, I just joined this forum literally minutes ago, but I've scanned the posts and now I have a question. I also have always had the ability to realize I was dreaming without knowing it was called lucid dreaming. So until someone told me very recently that I could control the dream too, I never tried. I'd realize I was dreaming but just go along with it. SO I tried lucid dreaming and was not able to control the dream and also got attacked (you got shot, I got beaten up).

So now I'm wondering if we have do undo bad habits. I mean, if for years we've been realizing we were dreaming but just going along with it, then we've developed years of having no dream control. So now we are trying to control our dreams suddenly and our brains are like- WHOA! That's different!

What do you think?

You're right bud, I always knew i was dreaming too but now that I know it's lucid dreaming and I try to control it nothing happens and I spend the dream looking for one of my parents which randomly shows up in a random crowd or something. I use to fly randomly when I wanted to but now I have to ask a certain person in the dream, it sucks that I can't control it when I know I'm dreaming and I think really hard and even close my eyes
