What do you do to dream about something non-lucidly?
Can you dream non-lucidly (lucidly) about something you wished to dream about? How? What’s your technique?

Oooo! I love to do that!
There are basically two techniques I use. One is incubation, and the other is losing lucidity.
For the first one, what you have to do is set your intent on having a dream. If you meditate, it would be great to take some time on your days to think about your dreams, try to understand their meaning and ask your SC to have a dream about that thing you want.
Incubation takes time, has weird outcomes and not always works, but it’s really worth a try if you’re patient.
As for loosing lucidity, I do that one all the time, shame I don’t mark up the lucid chunks apart from the nonlucid in my journal. Do you have something that makes you lose lucidity? So what you have to do is quite simple: set a scene around you, summon the characters and make the place look like what you want (of course, your SC must be cooperative). When everything is set, you lose lucidity. Just lose it. Tell yourself “of course this is not a dream” and go talk to a DC, or press a red button. Sometimes you can’t lose lucidity, but if you play around for some seconds without having in mind you’re dreaming, lucidity will vanish.
Both techniques are quite difficult to master, especially incubation, but they are totally worth it. And even if they don’t work out the way you wanted, they usually have some most interesting outcomes, you’ll have a laugh at some dreams you have and how they relate to your original intention.
Good luck Gonzo!
I have read a lot about SC so i think it shouldn’t be a problem for me
But I still would like to know other techniques for me to try.
