Have your non-lucid dreams changed since you started trying to have LDs? Other than dreams about LDs of course
If so, do you feel it was a benefit?
I’m curious because it seems that I no longer have dreams where I’m actually scared of whatever I run from, and I’ve come to expect magic to work while not being aware that it is a dream. Sometimes in the middle of dreams I go back to a point and start over again doing things differently. On occasion I have turned the situation completely around! It’s from little things like this that I begin to wonder if LDing has a great impact on your dreaming even if you don’t succeed in getting one for the night.
for example, a bit of a ND I had a bit back:
I was running from a killer and he cornered me in a room. He told me to put my shotgun down ( like I would ever have a gun) and I thought to myself after putting it down that I didn’t like this. So I took his gun and left. Later his brother was after me with a pack of dogs, and I ran. But I decided the dogs were really wolves, and wolves are the noble hunters of the wild, and so I made them my friends. They then turned around and helped me capture the guy. After that they were police dogs
Anyway, I’m very interested to know if it has impacted anyone else’s non-lucid dreams.
My ND don’t really differ much as far as I can tell. Usually when I’m curious about a dream or I find something strange in it, I become lucid. Otherwise the dream goes on as usual without the slightest clue I’m dreaming.
Since I’ve started I’ve noticed patterns in my NDs like when it rains in my dreams.It goes on for five days and as soon as tell myself to use raining as a dreamsign I get a new pattern like having a dog in my dream instead.
I noticed that too. Mine almost always used to be in school, but since I started trying to use it as a sign my dreams are never in school. hm…I wonder if it’s more of a counter measure against LDing or if it is just a subconcious attempted to get us to look at everything more closely?
Yea I got that too…but I always thought it’s because I am now older so I can’t really say so. I think realistic dreams are very close to LD because the mind is more active and thinking. I often think about things just not LD!
As stated in the “Lucid Labratory,” a small percentage seem to find it easier to become lucid in realistic environments due to the fact that small differences can be seen easier, or it’s just some mechanism in the brain. In any case, dreaming realistically non-lucid rules!
