Thread: MILD question

As senecadawg said, you're not alone in this. I also feel like most of the time I'm either just observing the dream or am a character that's just reacting to what's going on around me. I often switch points of view and the plot is constantly shifting from one idea to the next. Just last night I went from walking around St. Petersburg, Russia to being baptized into the Orthodox church to watching a soccer match I don't feel like I, myself, did very much, though.

I think that just taking a greater interest in your dreams and putting forth more effort to become lucid will help you out. I go through spouts where my dreams are dull and I'm not really doing anything, but others where there's lots of action and times where I semi-consciously think I'd like something to happen or to change and I make it happen. I think, though, that as you strive to become lucid, you might start to look at your dreams differently.

I think as far as MILD goes, it includes you taking time to ingrain a mantra or desire in your head by repeating it. Among those might be "When I see/do/feel X I will know that I am dreaming." Something like that. It's the idea that if you repeat something enough, you'll start thinking or doing it automatically. That's why it's good if you can find Dream Signs that pop up in most of your dreams that might help you figure out when you're dreaming.

Either way, enjoy your dreams
