Thread: Y it's dificult to dream lucidly but easy to dream 'reality'

I have been going through my mind Y it's easy to dream of things that are reality based but the concept of lucid dreaming and other dream related themes are as hard as rock to achieve. The reason I came up with is the very environment we are in....it simply does not have anything that is lucid dreaming related like for example you don't see a bus advert promoting lucid dreaming or a sexy model telling you to reality check on a poster at a mall. So my point is that lucid dreaming is an idea that is one sided, it resides only in the person's mind not out in the environment as everyday life is. Reality checks are done by who...the person and is uninitiated by the environment...of course you'd say that's not true but think of it this way. You have to do all the work from generating the idea that you may be in a dream to spotting oddities/dreamsign (that is also only in the person's mind as dreaming related) in the environment and programming the mind to respond to it by reality checking. This forrum although is dream related it's like a drop of water in the ocean (no offence)compared to everyday life. And very little if any comes from the environment that is by itself dreaming related. The Tibetan monks have mastered it because they live in a monastery (my guess) that has this lucid dream environment because everyone in that place thinks he is in a dream and the teachings etc promote lucid dreaming. So anyone can actually lucid dream frequently if the environment supports it. And to top it off...Y Stephen Laberge holds his lucid dream workshops in guess where..Hawaii...XD. Because the place is a resort and is the closest thing to a dreaming environment.
