how to get rid of conditioning 'watching' dreams, to LD
PostPosted: Sat 11 Apr, 2009  Reply with quote

I've kept a dreamjournal for over 15 years. I feel I have conditioned myself to not wake up or become lucid, but to just watch the dream.

For the past 2 years I am trying to LD. I had a few good short experiences and want more!

I think I have a problem with MILD, because I never notice the many many cues I get to become lucid. The craziest things can happen in my dreams and I just accept them into the dream, even if the event is impossible and/or contradicts another dream-event.
ding ding ding!
Even when there are many time-shifts in a dream (decade-forward and back again) or a room changes shape and such, I accept the complete instability of the dream-environment and vaguely know its a dream, but hardly even become lucid. cry

I often remember that during the dream I vaguely know I am dreaming, but to not disturb the dream I just let it happen. I feel I build up this conditioning during the years and want to delete it, open up clarity again and become fully aware in my dreams. kiekeboe

How to undo this conditioning and become more aware into the dream?

Well, it seems it has become a habit to you.
If you want to have fully lucid in dreams, you should do techniques as other people do and (in dreams) say:''I am lucid!'' or ''It is my dream, i have the control'' or something like that

that's easy.

you are what you are in a dream or in waking life.

wake up in real life and you shall wake up in your dream.

Well, this morning I had my first LD! I remembered it right when I woke up, but I didn't write it down! I forgot most of it by now, but anyways I felt like that when I was using MILD so I just switched to WILD, used that for 3 or 4 days, and I had that LD. I don't have a DJ (or a physical one at least, I have one on this site) and I'm absolutely getting one today. There is also a software I use, it's called Infinity. It's available on these forums, you can just search for it. You are pretty much guaranteed to have a LD within a month. Ususally it will take about one week. You seem to be having a very, very, very long dry spell, so you should try it!
