Constant Dream Theme

So lately I’ve been in this trance that I can’t get out of in my dreams. It usually starts out where I go to bed with a thought tucked in my mind, usually about having a dream family. After falling to sleep when I awake in the dream I usually don’t notice my surroundings or people at first, but I know I am dreaming. It can also be described as a vague blurry realm and I don’t know what is going.

The next stage is where I am able to see more vividly within the dream I then I end up in the same places, for instance the mall. I have been having this mall theme for quite awhile now. For more than four years now. I think it is what is keeping me from becoming lucid believe it or not. I become stressed out in the dream about the mall shopping, the people, and everything else. It usually has to do with money, my social life, and my desires.

My first lucid dream involved a mall; I was with my aunt (who now just recently lives with me) and my Mom. I was in the middle of following them around in a grocery store when I become instantaneously inspired to do a front flip, which i cannot do i real life. I also saw myself and i did not look like me, so with these two signs I knew I was dreaming but I did not gain complete control of the dream because I had a dream message awaiting for me. After I did the front flip I ran off into a section of the grocery store that then became a mall. It looked rather gloomy at first because nobody was there but then I started seeing people arrive. I then went to this lady who was dressed as a doctor in a green uniform with her two babys in a stroller who were dressed the same. I asked her " what does all this mean?" She started speaking “It means you have something in value…” But she was not able to finish and I didn’t awake but arrived in my dream bedroom where it was dusk/dawn and I was sleeping.

I bring this up because it was powerful and it involved a mall. I keep having mall dreams and I can’t seem to solve why I can’t have lucid dreams no matter what technique I use. I’ve had one, and that is all. :help:

You’ve been blessed with a great help for lucid dreaming! All you need to do now is remember to do a RC whenever you’re in the mall. This can be a great tool! Read more about RC s and train to perfection.

It would also help if you continue trying to induce this dreams - by thinking in bed about the dream family, maybe. This way you’ll dream about malls and then become lucid.

Don’t feel this dreams are hindering you: use them to your advantage!

On a side note, I also dream about malls sometimes. They are empty, with all shops closed and infinitely (literally) vast underground complexes. Maybe that’s because I don’t like malls too much - not that I hate them, they’re just too full of people - so my SC pictures them as oppressive. But I have the feeling that I’m picking up something else and that my SC 's best way to render it is through malls… Are your malls anything like this?

Yes, Sometimes my malls are empty. It is usually near the end of the dream where they start closing down and all the shops and stuff get dark. It happens a lot.

I will try doing reality checks during the day to see if i can try to realize I am dreaming. I will have to apply this with mall theme of course. Maybe I will do it in the food court, I seem to dream about that a lot
