Hi, welcome to the forums! |

Hey guys, pretty new here. What I am currently concerned with right now is the fact that my dreams are obviously dreams (i.e. zombies, random shit that could never possibly happen), but I never have the sense to realize it is fake in my dream. No matter what I take everything for reality, even if it is as ridiculous as me encountering a half man half car or something of similar merit. Any help on this? |

What you describe is the huge issue keeping almost everyone on the forum (natural lucid dreamers aside), even the experts, from experiencing every one of their dreams as lucid. For some reason, when we're dreaming, we don't usually consider that we might be dreaming. We treat whatever strange situation we're involved in as though it's real. Some people explain this by saying the logic part of our brains are turned off, while others think the main reason is because in dreams our memories of waking life are mysteriously erased. |

All the above answers are correct and currently I'm having the same problem as you. Your logic center does turn off, but that doesn't matter. If you can get into the habit of doing RCs all the time u will subconsciously achieve lucidity by doing one of those RCs. No matter what anyone says it takes no skill to LD, all you have to do is rail a single RC into your brain deep enough that you will do it every 30 minutes or so. Mines plugging my nose and trying to breathe. Which doesn't take any mental work at all, and it takes luck with timing, I've realized I was dreaming as soon as it was ending(bummer). So I still don't don't it as a LD to be fair |

Yea what your experiencing is very normal. I had it happen for a LONG ass time. But as of recently I don't even need to do RC's. I just come to instant realization of dreams by logic and instantly realize I'm dreaming. Like the logic part of my brain just doesn't turn off anymore. I don't know why I just come into instant realizations now but I'm not complaining :p |
