I’ve kept a dreamjournal for over 15 years. I feel I have conditioned myself to not wake up or become lucid, but to just watch the dream.
For the past 2 years I am trying to LD. I had a few good short experiences and want more!
I think I have a problem with MILD, because I never notice the many many cues I get to become lucid. The craziest things can happen in my dreams and I just accept them into the dream, even if the event is impossible and/or contradicts another dream-event.
Even when there are many time-shifts in a dream (decade-forward and back again) or a room changes shape and such, I accept the complete instability of the dream-environment and vaguely know its a dream, but hardly even become lucid.
I often remember that during the dream I vaguely know I am dreaming, but to not disturb the dream I just let it happen. I feel I build up this conditioning during the years and want to delete it, open up clarity again and become fully aware in my dreams.
How to undo this conditioning and become more aware into the dream?
