hey i understand what lucid dreaming as about and all that but what i dont really understand is how you can do reality checks and become conceous or "lucid" in a dream when your just watching it. i mean like how can you make yourself do stuff to become lucid when your not really your self your just watching your self? i hope you get me because i understand what to do etc... but i dont really understand how i can have any control whatsoever on my sleeping self. i hope im not rambling on about nothing. any advice?
