You know, when I was first getting going here I believed the same as you. I knew that my subconscious was out to keep me from dreaming, and no matter what I would always be fighting it. The thing I didn’t realize was that the SC does not actively want anything. It is there to help you out. It reminds you to perform tasks, takes over your body as you rest or zone out and does anything it can to prevent harm for you.
I had this revelation after struggling for so long, with things like DC’s actually stopping me from thinking I might be dreaming. Here is the link to the topic I posted in when my SC helped me for the very first time. I suggest you read it, it may help. It might be a tad dusty, but I think it’s still a good topic for people to read these days
