Thread: Havent a clue

First off, welcome to Dream Views When we say to check your hands, the purpose of it is to check your reality. We often go through life with the assumption that we are in a real place in the real world. By checking your hands, you are getting your brain into the habit of questioning reality.

In dreams, our brains are not as lucid (excue the pun) as it is in waking life. We will assume that anything that happens in a dream is real, thus continue along the story line without hesitation. If you have been doing reality checks in the real world (checking your hands) you would notice that the world you are in in your dreams, is not real. Its all about AWARENESS. You need to make yourself notice that you are IN a dream. Its not about immediate control (like moving your hand to your face) its about noticing the differences Does that make sence?

I think I understand. Is there any particular thing that i can do to become more aware when im in a dream???

As partially stated, you need to practice this in real life so that when the habbit carries over into the dream state, you will be instantly informed that you are dreaming. You may not always be completely aware, there are different levels of lucidity. The best way to improve your awareness is with practice, the more Lucid Dreams you have the more familiar you will be with that "dream feeling" and the more confident you will be when lucid.

Anyway, good luck with your lucid dreams, and welcome to the forums.
