Hi All,
I'm a newbie poster but have been lurking around here for a while.

My question is ..Does the Sub Conscious(SC) actively resist attempts to become lucid, and if so why?

I ask because after considerable early LD success, I'm now in a long dry spell and feel my SC seems to be playing tricks on me.
Regular dream signs have vanished or become very infrequent, others constantly change in character. An example is that the regular out of control car has become every shade and shape of vehicle ...from a helicopter to a flying carpet. Such changes make it difficult to set up RC's around them. I also note that other posters using the visual and auditory cues from assorted REM masks soon find that they are incorporated into the dreams in a way which makes them miss them.
In addition my dream recall which was very good, deteriorated rapidly and only now is it beginning to improve with more active attention.

So what's the view out there, and do you master lucid dreamers have better control over your SC's?
