Thread: Saying my name in an LD

Probably has something to do with that.

That's pretty true. I was thinking one night about random stuff and decided to whisper my name (while awake) and noticed it sounded weird like it drawed my attention, but then tryed randomly saying other names and it didn't feel the same as saying my name

No no no you guys! This is all psychological, just trust me on this. I know it's entertaining to think that there's some obstacle in saying your own name *insert twilight music here*, but really, there isn't.

Even if we think we are 100% confident in a lucid dream, our subconscious might not share that confidence. Sometimes I'm 100% sure I can fly but I actually can't. Same thing.

Iv never had a problem saying my name in a lucid dream before. I agree with Mes Tarrant, it is certainly psychological.

You're probably right. I'm not a neurologist and, now that I think about it, read that information in a children's Q and A book : PPP

. Sometimes I'm 100% sure I can fly but I actually can't. Same thing.

Sometimes I'm 100% sure I'm going to have a lucid and... oh wait... never HAVE! lol

well never have on will that is... natural DILDs have happened about 4 times in my life but I want more... is that greedy? lol

Believe me, you are most likely not 100% confident. You don't realize it, but you aren't. It's subconscious.

And Citizen...
Greedy? Hell no. Absolutely not. Dream away.

Thanks tank. I'm hoping that it'll all get better soon but... well... I guess I'll sleep on it.
