Lucid Dreaming while Napping

bump someone help pls

Mind have been the same, and I more or less dropped off from it since I lost my apartment and am moving around a lot. But typically they are short, even for masters. There are stabilizing techniques that are covered in that book, namely rubbing your hands and spinning in place.

Napping is a very well documented amd effective way to induce lucidity and vivid dreams. Your problem right now sounds like you get a little too excited/exhilerated when you realize youre lucid. There are a few noted dream stabilization techniques i like to use when im afraid im about to wake myself up.

My favorite technique is stretching my arms out, closing my eyes, and spinning clockwise. Like a retarded kid playing helicopter. This is also an effective technique for changing environments in a lucid dream.

Another good way to dream stabilize is by focusing on one detail. Maybe try to count your extra fingers or focus on seeing the textures and depth in the foliage or walls around you.

Lucid dreaming is a life long thing though. It'll take time to get good at them but equipping yourself with a portfolio of dream stabilization techniques will hone your skills and become second nature when you recognize you're accidentally about to wake yourself up.

+1 on the naps.

Looking at my hands or clocks, i had on dream i achieved lucidity looking at playing cards before. For some reason dream you cant understand numbers/counting so numbers/digits look fucked up and arent right. They look like runes or in the case of fingers you're missing some or have alot more.

I don't understand how people need to train themselves for lucid dreaming, every dream I've ever had I have been able to see/do what I want in them. I assumed this was the norm until I started coming here, so dreams for you guys is just like watching a movie and you cannot control anything?

Theres different levels of control and awareness to lucid dreaming. Awareness is the only requirement in a dream to make it considered lucid. This can be a dream where it feels like youre on a ride. You have lucidity but you are not master of your domain. A deep level of lucidity you can smell, taste, and feel sensations. Vividness is "bluray", and the deepest level of lucidity is being able to manipulate and "hack" dream characters to the point of finding the akashik records or playing you the finished version of a song you're working on. Deep and aware lucid dreaming is an extremely aware hacking of your subconscious mind. Natural lucid dreamers have an edge over those that struggle with lucidity and vivid dreams but its only through refining your techniques that it becomes a useful and supreme assett in your life.
