Well all I can say is keep working at it, start doing Reality Checks if you arent already doing that. Keep your DJ and look to see If you have some recurring theme or something. |

I don't mean mental health, either. For many...MANY weeks now, I've been trying to realize I'm dreaming in hopes of controlling my dreams. Yet, for reasons unknown to me, I can't. |

Lol. One reoccuring theme I have is famous people. I had a dream I was playing Guitar Hero on my computer with Martin Luther King JR. The song was also written by him. Then I had a dream that I was playing Ghost in the Graveyard with JFK. |

lol, help goes with the topic. The beatles always help. |
|
I need somebody! Help! You know I need someone... >_> |

I'd focus more on reality checks and doing them properly. Also, do you watch anything to motivate you? I have a huge collection of youtube clips that are related to my dream goals, and I watch them usually once a day to just get myself all pumped up. How much sleep do you get? |
|
Well, my sleeping is a bit different. |
|
Use a light that goes of every half an hour. Get those plug-in dimmers or lamp with dimmer attached and of course a plug-in timer(dial type of minimum 15 min segments/slots) and you have a Nova dreamer. Principle is this...light goes off and you are still dreaming, you will know it's the light. Two things can happen 1) You know it's the light and you carry on dreaming ignoring it. 2) You know it's the light and you remember you are in bed sleeping and you become lucid. It'll work better after 6 hours of sleep. |

You may also want to try this way. It does not give you lucid dreams but you can fix the dream theme. You say you want to fly and hug Keira Knightley which is easier than what I want. So all you have to do is print out a picture of her frame it up on your bedside or leave her on your computer wallpaper when you sleep. When you wake up, have a good look without getting up and without turning on a light which you would have to have a small light for viewing. What may happen is this...after 5 or 6 hours of sleep you will have a dream that has her inside. But what happens between you and her is a variable..although that can be controlled to a certain extent(complex). |

You know, I love helpful people. I'll probably do that tonight. |

I'm working on that at a detailed level. So far my dream themes are 2 part composites. The base elements which are the location or people I knew which are both from reality. And then there is the other part which is the variable or 'fantasy' because they are either absurd or not part of my waking life routine. I can control the reality base elements but have not yet been able to control the variable part because it is random and difficult. So far had some tangible results though....the outcome or desired variable/'fantasy' is another composite of 2 elements....do a similar reality based activity and I insert the other unreal element or think of like say your dreamgirl. And the dream merges the two. It's hard to explain but yeah it's complex. Maybe for you you can watch flying video of people hand gliding or flying through clouds...that's as good as real I guess. And you use the picture of the dreamgirl where you look at when you find yourself awake from sleep. |

Another thing that I'd say, is that part of your problem might be the manner in which you do RCs and the way that you stopped doing your DJ consistently. |

How unusual should the thing be to do an RC? If my dog barks for no reason, should I do one? If a shampoo bottle falls without me touching it, should I do one? |

When I do my RC's (they haven't become a habit yet. I'm really trying to do it so eventually, I don't even really have to remind myself) I always think hard about whether or not I'm dreaming. |
