Anger toward my inability to stay lucid

**vbooy57** · 03-12-2011 03:56 AM

When I am in a lucid dream, the first thing I do it stabilize. I touch the ground and focus on sounds. After I do this, my dream is clear as waking life. Problem is, I do not remember anything after this. I wake up sometime afterwards, usually confused as to what happened. Any idea as to why I suddenly lose "consciencousness" in a dream?

What method are you using? As it turns out this may be more of an issue with dream recall. Are you keeping a Dream journal? Can you remember other dreams?

well just say to yourself during the dream i really need to remmember this dream also are you closing your eyes while stabalizing that can sometimes screw things up

Think about it the 1st thing you regained conscious (wake). Do not open your eyes or think of any other things 1st.
That works for me. Or I'll just forget everything.

I never waste time with that stabilizing crap anymore, I just immediately start exploring.

Every time I try to stabilize it never effects anything.

In a lucid dream, I just realize I'm dreaming 9 times out of 10. And yes, I remember alot of my dreams, and I do keep a dream journal. And I learned the first time I woke up to never close close my eyes in a dream.

Same here but I did find a way to close your eyes and stabilize the dream. You can close your eyes but you have to concentrate on all your other senses. I have heard of one guy saying grab very hot or cold things. Its something about engaging senses in this different world that brings more of ytour consciousness into that world.

Might not be that applicable, but what used to happen to me is I'd become lucid, use something like telekinesis, then sink back into the dream. As in, I forgot I was myself, and thought I was the character in the dream. So telekinesis was merely their power, and I lost lucidity. Any chance you know if you're forgetting the dream right as you wake up, or just literally not remembering it at all?
