After some help from FryingMan I have been able to have around two lucid dreams a week. I have written down on a paper what exactly I want to do in my lucid dreams. But, what I have noticed with writing this down, is that not once out of the four times I’ve LD’d this month have I been able to complete these tasks in my dream.

Whenever I become lucid I RC a few times to cement and be sure of myself that I’m dreaming. I jump and fly, check my hands, etc. One thing I do notice from doing this is that I get more traction on the dream scape when I tell myself I’m dreaming. For example last night after RCing three times and becoming lucid I simply had to close my eyes and will the scene to become a pub in Ireland at day time and it did (I used to not be able to change my dreams).

The only problem is that when I’m in my LD, I seem to not be having full clarity of my thoughts and memories. Is this normal? It feels like my personality and mind are a computer program, and When I’m lucid the computer runs my program slower because half of its memory is asleep (I don’t know if that works &#128528. I tried to simply find a dream guide to take me around my dream scape but somehow I forgot right when I got to Ireland and sat down to have some food!

The tough thing is that in my LD I do FEEL alone I have the full capacity, and the LD does seem more real than reality, but when I wake up I realize how impaired my mind was and that I couldn’t get to a simple goal I had set for myself.

Does anyone have any tricks to access real life memories or to give you more clarity? Thanks!
