Lucid dreaming

Faces are hard to visualize usually. Try looking at yourself in a mirror. I've been getting back into doing lucid dreaming, and had 3 out of the 5 days I attempted it. Also, your mind tends to work with some patterns, you'll have dreams about familiar locations or events.

Feeling like the pre-conscious state of mind is digging up unconscious feelings and I constantly try to find a connection between the dream scenarios and the ones in real life.

I have a good life, nothing and no-one is bothering me so I don't understand where all this is coming from. Let's not make this about me, but I feel like an answer would do great.

Personally, I think dreams are fairly random. If you're having bad dreams, I wouldn't say you're unhappy or anything. It maybe represents your fears, but nothing to be concerned about.

When I got my first lucid dreams, I had them mostly under control each time I had one. I used to have one almost every day and now I've lost that control. I can understand my actions, but not make the decisions I used to be able to make.

What type of control are you trying to do? It's been the opposite for me, when I first started, I couldn't do much. Now that I'm trying again I have a lot more control.

I mean, being able to walk around first person and then experience the third-person view used to be easy for me. Picking up objects, sometimes even flying; but now it doesn't work that way. I once or twice had a thing where I interacted with a person, making that person do sexual things with me just because I "made" that person do it.

So you can't interact with dreams? Just watch them?

I usually dream very controlled, then think about it when I take my half an hour shower in the morning. That was my ritual. Since it's winter vacation now, I guess going out of that certain ritual made me lose some functions in my pre-conscious state.

I have a certain interaction level, just not as much. I am totally sure of the fact that I am in that dream state when I'm dreaming, it's just not much control anymore.

The key to dream control is completely believing you can do the things you're trying to do. Best of luck getting back into practice, I'd recommend trying to do that ritual again.

Will try indeed, getting back on that horse may be difficult to me now since I've had these blurred semi-controlled dreams for about a week now.
