well I just awoke from a dream and i've had a long dry spell.. and never really had an intentional lucid dream (meaning, intend before I go to sleep and actually have one that night). It usually happens when I catch something wierd going on and then I RC and become lucid. So anyway, I just awoke from this dream and in this dream I was outside talking to my step father and all of a sudden the sky turned from daytime to nighttime, like someone flicked the switch. I then started freaking out because I realized everything during the day was wierd and my step father suggested I was "sleepwalking". I went through that whole scenario with the impression that I was "sleepwalking" which should have cued me to become lucid. bloody hell! these dream characters always try and help you rationalize crazy scenarios! After writing in my journal I noticed there were at least 4 dreamsigns (including technology failure.. my car.) in there but for some reason they didn't cue me (the rationalization once again). Does this ever happen to any of you? I thought I remembered reading in EWOLD that lighting usually cannot change, in a later chapter I remember him saying that the limits of your dream world are only on your imagination.. meaning, if you think you can't read a clock, you can't.. but if you think you can you will ect. ect.
what would help this? keeping better/more journals? more RC's? it's been a long very slow progression thus far to become lucid at will...
