I first started lucid dreaming seriously 5 years ago. I came to Dreamviews often and honed my abilities. Since I stopped coming here I maintained fairly consistent lucid experiences, about once a month. Their intensity definitely lessened over the years with a few exceptions. So recently I've been back at it and having more lucid dreams. But now I have a new problem that I've not had before. It's happened twice in a row now. In the past I would always shout commands to change the vividness and brightness of a dream. But now, it seems, I can't shout at all. My voice has been non existent. I try to shout but nothing comes out. It used to seem very powerful in my dreams. I know this is just a silly little mental block but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. Shouting commands has always been my go-to fix for a fading dream. Of course I could spin but I don't want accept being mute in my dreams.
