hi everybody, ive been very interested in lucid dreaming ever since i discovered it a couple months ago (from a awesome movie "waking life" which i suggest taking a look for). But becoming lucid is still a problem for me. i understand that this can take awhile to achieve but i feel that i am heading in the right direction and simply need a nudge to be successful. Many of the technquies in the tutorials ive tried but cannot do because of my sleeping schedule. However autosuggestion seems to work very well for me and i am able to remember most of my dreams when i am willing. Now for my question: when i dream i feel like sometimes the location and what i am doing isnt normal, but i always fail to realize its a dream. For example, a few nights ago i dreamt that i was in school conversing with a teacher which did not like me that much. After talking for a short while, he gave me a hug and said somthing i cant remember. I thought this was extremely akward and out of place, but it never clicked in that hey! maybe this is a dream.
I recognize that we are all just unconscious observers of our dreams most of the time, and that simply realizing your in a dream doesnt happen that often. Is there anyone with any tips on how to make this perhaps alittle easier? thanks
