While sitting her i decided to say out loud that i will become lucid tonight. As i did so i realized that i really didn’t want to say it out loud. And when i actually did say it, it was only a whisper. I then forced myself to say it out loud and clear, “I will have a lucid dream tonight.”
Perhaps this feeling of not wanting to say it has been keeping me from becoming lucid. I have never shared my lucid interest with my family, and perhaps that is why i am so shy about it. i am alone now, but just saying it proudly made feel several times better about actually having an LD.
If i am to afraid to say i will be lucid tonight, then i am probably to afraid to be lucid at all.
haha, i know the feeling. I’m only 17, and my family doesn’t know a thing about my interest in LDing. I’ve always considered myself different from most of my family, so i’m not really sure what they would think about it… I’m always scared that they’ll find my DJ and read some of my more provocative dreams… haha.
But anyways, don’t be afraid to be lucid. if you feel shy about it, just remember that you are practicing an amazing skill, and people who think you’re weird or whatever, just don’t know what an amazing gift we all have
I kinda doubt not wanting to say it out loud has kept you from having a lucid dream. I mean, I have a couple a night most nights and I never say it out loud because A) it feels weird and B) I don’t want anyone to hear me and think I am crazy.
It’s all in your head, if saying it out loud helps you induce them, then keep it up.
My youngest brother is also a lucid dreamer. We have noticed that if we decide to have a lucid dream this night, and talk about what we want to do in it, it is easier to actually get one. Also, talking loudly to yourself is a good way of staying lucid inside the dream.
