Thread: Lucid Dreaming Tips for a Stupid Dreamer?...

I'm an idiot in dreams as well.

I'd say, practice reality checking throughout the day and eventually reality checking should carry over into the dream state, almost as a habit.

Me too -- i'm a mindless freak in my dreams. But when i get lucid, i can think clearly!

Just start doing RC's every half an hour or so, you're bound to do one in a dream and realize you're dreaming. And then your dream-dumbness will fade. Don't forget to do one every time you see something strange as well.

Change your attitude first.
Stop emphasizing so much about being stupid. Sure everyone's an idiot in their dreams sometimes, but if you make such a big deal about it, I think it starts working against you because dreams are all about what you believe and expect.
Look at kids for inspiration - if they thought they were stupid because they can't walk like everyone else – they would never learn how to walk! And think about how many times they fail before they succeed. And you too were once that kid with absolute confidence in yourself. Think about that.
It's just a learning process. So keep on trying and practising and above all instead of convincing yourself that you're stupid, be confident that you can do it. Like I said – dreams are all about what you believe.

I'll do the reality checking, see what happens. I wanna go lucid

Thanks guys

1 - rigorous Dream Journalling
2 - Thorough observation
3 - constant reality checking
4 - confidence

and rubbing/observing your hands is a lucid stabilising thing; not a lucidity method. you are supposed to do it ONCE lucid.

Number 3 is particularly important for you. Should put you into control, as opposed to being a "lucid spectator" (to coin a phrase). It seems you can realise you are dreaming...but without proper reality testing...this will be fruitless.

goodluck

I just had some really vivid dreams last night but... in terms of stupid dreaming.. I would leave one dream, and RECOGNIZE I had been dreaming in the current dream, but I wouldnt realize that that TOO was a dream. It was like that for every dream, always one behind !!!!

That's frustrating...a bit akin to a false awakening huh?

I guess I need to get into the reality checking
