Not so long ago i had my first lucid dream. I wasnt’ very excited(strange thing, i waited for LD for 8 months), and that’s maybe the reason the dream was very long. Of course, it was great and all, but.
At some point it happend that i didnt have any clothes on me. I decided to go to shop and buy some. And theese gus at shop didn’t let me in. Ok, to get into shop i decided to steal some by hipnotizing an old man who was passing by. Succes. I stole them. With them i decided to go shop. After not finding any approciate clothes for me, i flew home, and took my usual clothes.
This does sound stupid, doesn’t it? And again, i was fully lucid, theese were desicions i made myself. Why not hypnotize guards at shop in the first place? Why not create clothes myself? Why not fly home in the first place?
This is a very common thing you describe. It it like we aren’t fully able to think in dreams, apart from the most vivid ones. Maybe it is because part of the brain is still sleeping. Sometimes, I have woken up wanting to hit myself in my head!
You think that’s odd? One time I didn’t want to jump out my bedroom window cos I wasn’t waring any shoes.
It took me a while to realise that I didn’t actually need to wear any…
These thigns usually happen near the end of the dream, where your lucidity is starting to dissapate. Though if the entire LD is quite low level, then you may act like that the entire time (which, trust me, is annoying).
That’s why it’s a good idea to increase your lucidity straight away (the most common way to do this is to shout, ‘Increase lucidity!’), and then bring it back up everynow and then .
