Hi, I'm new to this site. I've researched lucid dreaming a bit on my own, through the website and various others. I've read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Laberge.

I haven't really tried any techniques consistently. Though when I first started exploring the possibility of lucid dreaming, I had the idea of tattooing "Am I dreaming?" somewhere on my body that would come into my view often. My first idea was my forearm. I may go through with this, although I have not quite decided.

But I came with a question as well. In the last year there has been a few times where I have realized that I am in a dream. Despite my thoughts while I'm awake about using lucid dreaming to help me solve problems or to explore the world or to just "let it flow", my automatic reaction is to turn it sexual. And every time this happens, just as quickly as it happens (once I begin my sexual advances towards whichever woman is there) it begins to fade. I use the rubbing hands technique every time, but that does not seem to help.

Any advice?
