hello all, i am new to dream views and new to lucid dreaming.

4 days ago i started writing ina dream journal, and have remembered at least one dream per night (and often a vauge/distorted memory of other dreams that night).

i have done research on internet to understand as much as possible because apparently the more i understand about LD the more likely i am to have one. i understand the basic concepts of a lucid dream (you are aware that your dreaming and take control) but do not have a complete understnading of it.

i thought of the matrix film and is it a good metaphor for lucid dreams?

-the matrix is the dream world

-our average basic dream is like being normal people in the matrix, unaware that they are in the matrix

-our basic lucid dream is like being the side charactsers in the matrix, aware they are in that matrix and able to control thier actions

-the advanced lucid dream (where we can change our enviroment in an instant) is like being neo in the matrix, aware he is there, aware that it is not real, and thus able to alter things on cue by truly believing that he can.


is this a good metaphor for newbie lucid dreamers (who have not had lucid dremas yet) to help them understand the concept, thus improve the chances of having one
