Lucid Dreaming | Is this progress?

This morning I dreamt I was on a beach and there was a guy nearby. I thought "I want that guy to come here.. if this was a dream I could make that happen. I should do it in my next lucid dream". It was a bit frustrating because I thought about lucidity but didn't become lucid, but I'm thinking maybe it's progress because my mind is starting to internalize my intention and focus on lucid dreams? What do you think? I've been practicing mindfulness meditation, maintaining a self-aware state of mind throughout the day for as long as possible and doing reality checks as often as possible and whenever something out of the ordinary happens, for about 4 days. I also had a similar dream a few days ago, about being frustrated that I can't become lucid in a dream. Could these dreams about lucidity be a sign of small progress? I know it takes weeks for meditation and self-awareness to take effect in dreams as DILDs, a more long-term reliable LD method, but just wondering.

Lucid Dreaming | Lucidity the Hard Way

I've found that for me, dream stress sometimes triggers lucidity. For example the other night I dreamed I was getting in the car to go somewhere with my father and brother, but then I remembered that I didn't have my MP3 player with me and I wanted to listen to music in the car. I say "hold on a minute, Dad", run to my locker and get my MP3 player.



On the way back to the car I stop to talk with a DC, and watch this really long train go by. Then I remember... oh shite! Dad and Sean are in the car waiting for me! I run back to where the car was parked, and it's gone. They left without me. Now I'm in trouble!



I try to make up a story I can tell my father later that sounds believable, but I can't come up with anything. Then it hits me! I don't need an excuse, because this is a dream... I become lucid.



This has happened to me a couple of times since I became interested in dreaming. Anyone else experience that sort of thing?

Lucid Dreaming | From False awaking to Lucid Dreaming?.

Hey! . I'm kinda new in this forum. i would like to ask you guys a simple question that i don't understand clrearly..

I'm a chronic lucid dreamer. anyway, I had a false awaking at the mid of the night. i was sleeping in my bed and i tried to try a RC to be sure that im dreaming. i use my favorite with the nose.

and i sucesses breathing . I tried to open my eyes in the dream state and it seems impossible! i've tried to recheck i'f im dreaming and it feels like im aware of that im touching my nose but it feels numb in some way..

anyway, I tried to open my eyes with no sucesses and waked up to the waken life.. my problem is that I NEVER GET THE FALSE AWAKING TO LUCID DREAMS BECAUSE THEY OVER AFTER A SECONDS. and i don't even know wuy..

Help ? :cheeky:











Sorry for my bad language.

Lucid Dreaming | RC's in Dream

Hey guys. I just want to take a quick moment to share what happened in my dream last night with you all. I had a dream where I believe I did 2 reality checks: the nose-pinch and morphing text one; however, I didn't become lucid! I think this may be due to me not putting enough thought into them during waking life and just going through the motions.



Please share with me your thoughts :)
