Newbie Question On Inducing
I have read through the site and I am still just a bit confused.
When I am dreaming I dont realize that It's even me in the dream. Some people have said that if something weird happens in their dreams they say to themselves " hey im dreaming " and they become lucid. My problem is I dont even realize that I am "me" during the dream sometimes. I know all of the people in my dreams and recognize my friends. I dont have control of what I do so I cant really stop to realize im dreaming. I feel emotion but dont really think for myself. I seem to be completely controlled by the dream itself. My perspective in which I see the dream changes sometimes also.
Is this what it is like for everyone? If so what should I do? I am begining to write down what I remember of my dreams too to see if it helps.
Im sorry if I overlooked something on the site that explained this already...

Hey there, and welcome to the forum!!
It seems to me you could be in 3rd person. Maybe you should use this chance to Reality Check, and see if you are truely dreaming (3rd person is pretty easy to figure out!).
Not always, but some people do dream about being in 3rd person (myself included), especially if it is a WILD, it can start off this way, and this can actually sometimes prove to be an excellent RC.
And don't worry about it, that was an excellent question, and if you have any more of them, feel free to ask! :wink:

Everyone dreams differently. This is just your way. Keeping a dream journol is an excellent idea. If you want to be 'you' in your dreams, just concentrate on that while falling asleep. Perhaps you should write this down, so that your intent will be set. Really be confident in yoruself. If being a different person doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.
