so like the last 3 dreams i had i would be like oh snap , im dreaming and i can do anything i want… then ill be like nice… and just continue being a dream slave and ill wake up and get pissed …
howcome i cant just stay in the moment when i realize it… i dont wake up … i actually seem like i do good stuff afterwards, but im not in the moment, the only time being in the moment is when i can point out im dreaming, but i dont do shit about it!!! help!!
It’s all about mindset. I do it myself sometimes when I don’t have clear goals. Set some goals for yourself! That helps set your focus. I’ve done that same thing. I always kick myself if I “put off” being lucid then don’t end up lucid again.
Well, really, I don’t know what else to say. Normally I try to contribute a bit more, but… Make some goals and intend to follow them! See how that helps.
Setting goals helped me quite a bit as well. I used to become lucid, think about all the stuff I could do, then quickly lose it (or wake up).
Now I always have at least three things in mind that I want to achieve. I don’t even always pursue one of those, but it still helps keep me focused in the dream.
You can also try to focus on your environment as soon as you realize you’re dreaming (if you already do this, keep it up ). That should also help you keep your focus and stay “in the moment”.
I always make a do to list in my head for when I become lucid. Whether it’s finding someone or learning to fly, it keeps me focused, even if I don’t succeed.
