Hyper-Conscious of physical body

Quest for Lucidity
1

Whenever I lucid dream I’m sort of too aware that I’m dreaming, and it plays some serious mind tricks on me.

Even as I’m running about in my dream world, a part of me is always thinking about my physical body lying paralyzed in bed. It’s like I’m split in two. Now, when I WILD, I’m afraid to “move” even when I’m pretty confident that I’m asleep, for fear that I’ll wake my real body up. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you deal with it?

This hyper-conscious state often makes dream control great, but I end up over-analyzing everything and comparing it to real life rather than just going with the flow and leaving all that for later. I guess what I’m asking is how do you cope with the knowledge (as awesome as the knowledge can be) that everything is in your head?

I know exactly what you are talking about! But compared to me you’re the lucky one since this knowledge does not wake you up… I guess it’s a question of “letting-go”, again, which I personally always had a problem with. So, as stupid as this might sound, just dream ^^ try to clear your mind of the fact that your physical body is lying in bed. Stuff like that is always of the “don’t think of an blue elephant” type of thing, but I maybe meditation might work as a practice??
