every time i almost get lucid im not really concious, i just make concious desisions withouot realizing it, like this morning when i was being attacked in a forest by a bunch of werewolves i didnt want to beomc a werewolf so i flew out of the forest and i knew was making the desison conciously but i wasnt councious, then i woke up…
So you don’t realize you’re dreaming, but make choices as if your were awake in your dream?
Hmmm… So I guess your problem is to try and realize you’re dreaming and achieve lucidity…
^^~ The only advice I can really provide, would be to do reality checks when you remember to, and to do so when something out-of-the-ordinary happens!
Reality checks can really be useful in inducing LDs… besides that, you could try other methods like MILD or VILD or anything else ^^~
Have a look around the forum, there are lots of ways to gain the consciousness of lucidity!
If you give more information on the problem past this, maybe, more help could be provided… This is a bit ambiguous XD But uhm… Good luck! Perhaps you’ve even already fixed the problem!

I call those Rail Dreams, where you make conscious decisions in a dream, without realising it’s a dream, and having little control over what you’re actually doing. so it’s like you’re on a train, for want of a better example. you can look around and walk a bit, make a few decisions but overall you can’t do anything that affects the actual destination.
^^~ Nice analogy! I don’t think I’ve had many of those…@___a
Hey, maybe we should try and get this term to be an acrynym on LD4ALL?

RD?
That happens to me all the time. Quite annoying.
XD No, I mean-- hmm… well, I guess it’s just a different sort of real dream, yeah? XD Oh well.
I guess this is only useful if one of your ‘conscious’ choices in the dream is to do a RC XD
wow i just realized that i was dreaming at my computer!
oops time for another RC!
-there you are is where you’re at
ya its like im almost concious and i think im concious but im really not concious its kind of annoying, i think i jsut need to do more RCs
Don’t worry! I’m sure that if you keep in mind to do RCs IWL, this’ll be a problem of the past soon enough–
Err, Or at least you’ll go lucid a little bit more often? XD
Good luck!~
I had many dreams like the one you described and I realized that (for me at least) it was a step on the pathway to having legitimate lucid dreams
Look at it as practice. You are getting close. It’s good that you are trying to analyze the dreams because now you will be better prepared when that conscious moment pops up out of nowhere and smacks you in the face as if taunting you by saying “what you gonna do about it b*tch?”
But seriously those in between dreams are the equivalent of those moments when you are driving on the expressway and realize that you are at your exit as you watch it go by and realize that it’s too late to do anything about it. Soon you will see the exit at the last moment and jerk the wheel and you’ll be thinking “holy crap, I’m at my destination.” And later you’ll realize that you’re “destination” was really only the starting point.
You’re going to be lucid soon. Think about this post and the other responses people have posted next time you feel one of those annoying moments approaching just over the next hill.
thanks, i’ll keep that in mind
