Thread: Subconscious helping or confusing?

Normally my dreams will try everything to keep me from being lucid. Its pretty clear it doesn't want me to be lucid dreaming. However I just had a dream that was boarder line, could go either way.

I had just been trying to do a WILD but it wasn't working so I decided to just try and fall asleep so I might get lucky. I get in the dream and I am lucid but the thing is I have a really hard time controlling my movement because I keep moving between the dream and being in my bed awake.

Atleast thats what I thought at the time. I am pretty sure now I was really moving between the dream of me walking around and a dream of me laying in bed. At one point someone asks in the dream of me laying in bed "you know you are dreaming right" and I say yes. And he talked to me some more. Though I didn't see him since I was in the other dream, I heard his voice and I thought it was comming from my bed.

Since I knew I was dreaming though I tried to gain more and more control over it. I ended up moving mostly into the dream though but things ended up getting kind of blurry. So I tried focusing really hard at a picture of a wall. I guess I focused to hard though because it started getting worse and I went blind in the dream. It hurt too, I tried laying down and closing my eyes to see if I could get it so I could see or move to another dream but then I woke up for real.

Anyway I think it could of been helping since moving between the two made me aware I was dreaming in atleast half of it. And then the voice told me I was later on too. However it could of been trying to confuse me. If I was already lucid so it move me between them to throw me off and make me think I was really awake in half when I wasn't. Also could of been trying to get me to wake up in the second dream which I thought was real then I would of lost it all.

Nice to think it might be trying to help though, since it normally will try every trick in the book to fool me, or just force me awake. I did get to try some stuff I wanted to do but most was just wasting my time so maybe it got what it wanted.

ps. Dream didnt fade at all when I went blind, It just got all freaky looking and was all brown with some white, looked like of like someone poked me in the eye with something and left it in so saw the thing inside my eye.
