By the purest definition (being aware that you are dreaming), I lucid dream nearly every night. I never did anything special to achieve this.
But, it’s not as fun as they make it sound. At some point, my mind started resisting me. Sure, I can do anything I want… sometimes. However, most of the time, anything I change goes back to the way is was immediately.
I also used to be able to wake myself up while lucid dreaming. For instance, maybe I would be aware that I am napping, and I need to wake up. So, I would. But, my mind now resists that as well. When I try to wake myself up, sometimes I just wake up into another dream. And, for whatever reason, I am not aware that I am dreaming in the new dream.
None of this upsets me too much, but it is annoying. I think it may be related to some sort of mild, generalized sleeping disorder I have. I experience sleep paralysis and insomnia episodes, but they’ve never been frequent or upsetting enough for me to seek treatment.
One of my worst nightmares was a dream that i wanted to wake up from but i just woke up into another dream that i thought was just my real actual bedroom but wasnt and after I realized that the cycle would just continue until i became meta-aware enough to realize and the cycle then escalated to an almost indescribable feeling i can only describe like constantly seeing things like your are every second waking up from another dream into your own bedroom yet you still feel your body in one of the spaces(still a dream)
Whenver I lucid dream my mind resists immediately and with great force, false awakenings, distractions, liminal spaces, just not fucking letting me fly ever no matter what, every single sapient character in the dream apparently being aware of what I’m doing.
Yeah I agree I lucid dream every other night really it’s more like just gaining awareness I don’t really have that much control like being stuck on a roller coaster what happens happens I’m just aware of it I can try and fight it but my mind fights back 10 times as hard. Feels like trying to ride a bucking bull and getting it to do what I want it just doesn’t happen.

Sorry if this is impolite but I believe this looks like death

Haha, yes, everyone else is trying to ruin my fun. I can fly sometimes, but not for long, and it’s a real struggle to stay airborne.

I’m glad I’m not alone. My husband barely dreams at all.
