Ok....not really ignoring them....more like choosing to not let them affect the dream.

As I approach month nine my dreams are now often that way. As the lucid observer of a clear dream I tend to choose to stay in the dream rather than trigger more active lucidity and go off on an adventure.

Last night was a classic example. I am in a massively crowded airport where the crowds are all moving along in a definite direction. Interspersed in the crowd are people from my past...ex-wives, estranged children, ex-inlaws. It is all very calm and I am flitting from one to the other casually interacting with them as they all move along independent of each other in the crowd.

The cool thing is, though, that there are a number of blatantly obvious incongruities that keep appearing. I see these dream signs as what they are and some of them make me chuckle....but I know that the dream itself is more important so I choose not to let them trigger more extreme lucidity of the sort that will draw me away from what I am observing.

Every few days my subconscious gives me a break from all that and serves me up with an inescapable lucid experience by dropping me directly into a scenario that can only be resolved through true active lucidity.....generally flight. These lucid moments are always staged to give me time to comprehend the situation and make an active decision.......hanging from a bridge or balancing on a high tree branch.

Once again, just sharing.....and pondering even more.
