Here’s something I’ve been a little frustrated with. When I first began LD-ing, I’d become aware of a dream sign and instantly gain lucidity. (“Hey! There’s Elvis! I must be dreaming!”)
More often lately, I become gradually aware of lucidity. It’s like I’m actively participating in the dream without true lucidity, then it dawns on me that I’m actually dreaming.
The gradual awareness of lucidity seems to help prevent waking up too soon; then again, I’d like to get lucid as quickly as possible, know what I mean? Anyone else dealt with this?
Thats excatly what Ive been going through. Its Like , “Hey Im Dreaming…” but then i kindof forget so the lucidity comes in waves. The last Lucid dream I had i was lucid at school for about five minutes, then i faded back into a normal dream where i was explaining to my friend that i had a lucid dream. Really annoying.
lol, i get that all the time, after my LD, ill go tell some1 i just had a LD, and usualy i tell them in the same lucid dream. or some times i tell people in proceding dream that i had a LD… if i could learn to do a RC eveytimg i talk about LDs, i could make a chain of LD in a night
Another annoying thing is when I fail an RC within a dream. Like, recently, I dreamed I was sitting in this big auditorium waiting for some sort of show to begin, and Mother Theresa was sitting next to me.
I remember in my dream questioning why she was there. I disctinctly remember the dream-me thinking, Isn’t she dead? But then I concluded that she was there so she must be alive … never mind the fact that I’ve never had the occasion to hang out with Mother Theresa. Obvious dream sign missed completely!!
Arrgghh… I guess I need to do some more RCs in waking life.
