im loosing my special powers!!!!

ok so im a natural lucid dreamer....and i used to be able to control almost everything.....i could fly......tear out trees without touching them....make beautiful women appear around corners..etc....but since 2 months or so i cant do all that no more....all i can do is fly allittle....and not high either.....its als hard to find women... ( to chat with of course ) and i cant pull out trees no more.....

any body else got that experience ??

today i was lucid for about an hour..and i really tried to fly high and everything ...just didnt work!

It happens to a lot of people, including me. I used to be a natural lucid, able to control every aspect of my dreams frequently (once a week at least), but now I have to really work to have an LD longer than a few minutes.

For most people something like this means that the free ride is over--no more natural LD's. Not always though. In general, start keeping a dream journal if you haven't already, practice reality checks, try WILD's once in a while if you feel like it, etc. Either you'll start having natural LD's again, or you'll build up to the skill level necessary to produce a few good LD's every month or so.

Also, if gaining lucidity isn't your primary problem, try simply having more faith in dreams. The only limiting factor in a dream is the remnant of your conscious logic and doubt--those two things limit everyone's lucid potential. Something I've found effective in countering them is spontanious action--Don't think before doing things in a dream. Think as little as possible to maintain lucidity. Such isn't easy, especially the first time, since a firm conscious grip must be held to stay lucid, but not enough to induce doubt. Practice, and believe that you can, and you'll be able to.

ya.. to chat with of course :wink:

The first thing I do when I become lucid is go outside and start flying. I do pretty good at first, but then, after about 10 seconds, I slow down and i have to move my arms (like i'm swimming in water) to move through the air. It gets really annoying. I guess i need more faith...in myself.

The other day, I think it was monday night/tuesday morning, I became lucid in a dream after i started walking out to my car. I got that same damn thing I always get in dreams where my legs freeze up and i start moving in slow motion (thats my LD giveaway.) But anyways, i started flying and i was doing good for about 20 seconds and the slow motion thing started again. I was like, "WTF!? Why can't I do anything?" So, i just "swam" through the air and I saw a highway with cars speeding down it, I thought, "I better get down there and start a traffic 'accident' :P" So i made my way down there and walked out into the middle of the street and decided to flip a car "Carrie style" It didn't work, I got hit, felt a shock, and woke up at that instant.

I'm a horrible lucid dreamer, Dr. Phill, please help me!

I am proud to say i have not lost any of my ability yet.

In all truth, i've been gaining.
