Thread: Confused

As a matter of fact, I have tried that, but I wasn't fortunate enough to save myself, so I died.

Too bad, but i also just barely managed to get away^^

I've had lucid dreams without using techniques or outside stimulus - they just sort of happen as I need them. One time, I was being chased through a parking lot at night - I could run super fast and turn impossible angles. At the time I didn't realize I was dreaming. But then a group of thugs started coming straight at me, like they were going to collide with me head on... so I launched myself over them and began to fly into a wall made of concrete and insulation. My head bopped right against the surface, and I thought I'd be too solid to make it through. But then a sort of soothing sensation came over me, and I realized that I was dreaming and so the wall wasn't really solid. So I flew through and got away.
I've never had a lucid dream using the techniques. They all come this way. If I think about it before I fall asleep, I can make them happen that way too. So I don't think it's so unusual to be able to lucid dream without doing anything to provoke it.

You guys must be naturals at lucid dreaming. I've gotten a few near-lucids on my own, but never a controllable dream without inducing it.

i've gained control to run head on at the nightmare entity in my dream one time. it was hard but amazing

Lol. I woke myself up from a lucid because I got scared after I looked at my reflection (guys on the forum said I ought to do it.) Really need to get over my fear of lucids.

What happened when you looked at your reflection Horsey?

I think looking in the mirror is a risky thing to do, especially if you're already scared. One time I looked in the mirror and a skull was looking back at me instead of my face Not to freak you out, but if you're scared already, you might put something scary there just because you already feel that way.

All you have to do is feel brave instead of scared! It helped me to have confidence in myself. Either by knowing I would get away from the bad guys, or knowing in the back of my mind that I have abilities I might not have activated yet, etc.

It's your mind after all... are you gonna let fears boss you around inside your own head space? You are the person that's scaring you. There's nobody else in there. If you can remember that it'll give you new confidence in your lucid dream. That'll make all the difference
