Do you think its possible to have a mental block against lucid dreams? I’m afraid that thats what happened to me. In the past 2 Lucid dreams I’ve had, I ended up being annoyed to find out that it was a lucid dream. The only reason I was annoyed, was because I found out it was a dream, rather than real life. So I’m afraid that my resentment against LDs is causing me not to have anymore. I’ve even had a dream where I was controlling it, but was not Lucid. Also, if there is a mental block, how could I get rid of it?
I’ve had those too ^^ Y’hope it’s real. but it’s not D:>
Maybe, if you connect a good thing with the lucid experience, you can get around this-- as long as you keep in mind your intention to lucid dream, I’m sure it’ll be ok… And overcome whatever block you’ve had…
If you really want to deep inside, and focus on that, perhaps this mental block thing will not be quite so effective!
Thanks! Yeah, I was hoping it wasn’t a dream, I thought I won a car, and I was like, “this better not be a dream”, I checked, it was a dream, and I woke myself up because I was disappointed. lol!
Do you have any tips on how to associate LDing with a positive thing? Im kind of confused on that part.
Mmmm… I don’t know ^^~ Why not remember things you’d enjoy doing in LDs, remember it’s an oppurtunity to do anything?
I guess, just thinking of LDs as a positive thing (I.E. You decidedly think ‘good’ when you hear “Lucid” Or asossociate the feeling with the word…)…
Does that make sense?
I guess just concidering it a good thing, rather than a bad thing would be enough ^^~
Hmm, I get it now. I try to think of it as a good thing. In real life, I think its a good thing, but in dreams, i always see it as a bad thing. It happened again last night. I realized i was dreaming, and just stopped bothering. But I will continue to try tonight. I just need to have 1 more lucid dream where I am excited about finding out its a dream.
If I had a dream that I was controlling my dream as you did, but it was not lucid, I would guess that I was close to having a lucid dream there and that I might have one very soon.
Why not keep a strong intention of things you’d like to do?
I have done that once or twice as well, but more out of lack of will to do the things I wanted to, then a bad association with lucid dreaming ^^~
