Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions about lucid dreaming.
I used to lucid dream about 20 years ago (I learnt to control nightmares) as I remember I picked it up pretty quick but I don't remember how I got the awareness I was dreaming, I'd read a few books on it and I do remember being suprised it was not like any of the techniques in the books, it just happened. Could the intensity of the nightmares shock me into lucidity if I'd been programing myself before sleep? Both the lucid recognition and the nighmares did have a similar sort of shifting intense feel to them. I don't know how to get awareness again because I don't know how I did it before.
I can control my behaviour in my dreams but not anything else, I interact in the dream like I would in real life and my dreams are becoming longer and more vivid, does that mean I'm getting closer? I only want to control by dreams not do the whole create everything from scratch thing.
Also can dreams be too lucid, I had one once where the surroundings changed momentarily as I thought them but I was thinking a lot so things kept changing before I had a chance to fully absorb them and there was no new information, it was all stuff I was expecting, kind of annoying, I asked one of the characters in my dream a question and he said "I don't know, it's your dream", it woke me up. I've also had dreams where I've been lucid only for the dream to take over again right at the end just when I think I'm on the home stretch, it usually results in me dying a horrible death.
