Returning after a break
Hi everyone, I've been gone for a long time. I'm been gone for about 3 years, but I'm back now that I have more experiences that I can't even begin to explain. I'll probably be posting far more questions than I post answers, but I really hope that I can help other that have the same dream issues that I do.
There are four main things I want to get from the community here:
-How can I gain lucidity if my subconscious doesn't want to give it to (I.E.when I find out I'm dreaming my dream character try to kill me so I wake up)
-I see the future: I don't think its possible but it happens, can someone explain whats going on?
-How can I force myself to remember dreams in full clarity? I tried natural sleep with no alarm clock and That seemed to help, but I wake up in sections so I loose chunks of my dreams.
-I dream even if I sleep for two minutes? I thought that dreaming occurred in REM sleep? Is that weird?
Thanks everyone for your help and inputs and I hope I can contribute back to this community.

Let's see if I can't give you an idea on some of these...
Stabilization might help, or flying/running away.
Go to Beyond Dreaming for seeing the future.
Dream journal! It'll increase vividness and dream recall.
I just answered a question on this... It's not uncommon to have a dream the instant you fall asleep... Depending on how long ago you slept before then.

Thanks
Thanks a lot, I'm so glad that people are so active in this community. I will definitely start A dream journal back up.
What do you mean by stabilization? Also I can't run for things in my dream, if I know I'm dreaming my Dream Characters lock me down. For example, imagine that your hearing the screams of thousands but the sound is composed in such a terrifying way that it makes no sound but still scares you so much that you cannot even begin to move, that was the first lucid dream I had; the second one involved them trying to hit me with a car, Which I avoided but then the stress of the situation woke me up. It's like my subconscious hates me.
Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

I guess if it happens immediately, you wouldn't even be able to stabilize...
Stabilization and Vividness have a tutorial here. But might not be especially helpful...
I suggest you keep at it, there is a chance that the effect will wear off. Also, the instant you become lucid, think to yourself: "This is a dream. None of this is real. They can't hurt me. They can't stop me."
