Thread: Heya everyone, newbie here.

So, by your brain fighting yourself, do you mean that things aren't happening the way you want them to, since the key didn't fit? If that's what you mean, then yes, that happens to the best of us . Next time, there are even more creative responses to that problem that you didn't try. If that dream was lucid, and you wanted to go in, there are countless ways that you can get in. Expect the door to be unlocked, just walk through it without thinking as if you were invisible, teleporting in, etc...One thing that is good to know is that there are many creative ways to solve your lucid problems, think outside of the box. You won't always be able to do that, I know. In many of my lucids I just go along with one thing, perhaps it was set up for me previously, or maybe I just go along with it without thinking of the possibilities. It's like you have a "one track mind" in some lucids.

And, welcome, I hope you like DV!

Well you might have heard of this before but I'll tell you anyways. I've heard that when you're lucid if the dream starts to end or get hazy, or if you start losing control then you can look down at the ground and start spinning. This usually keeps the dream going and sometimes you can use it to change the dream. For example you could spin and think of yourself as being behind that locked door. When you finish you might just be inside, that way you don't even need a key in the first place and the dream is saved. Lucid dreaming is a skill and you get better at it with practice.
