>>13046571It is difficult because you are pushing yourself to do something most people are not naturally familiar with, and after reading this thread I am reminded it is something not all are capable of doing to the fullest extent possible, just as not everyone has the physique necessary to become a world class athlete not everyone has the mental faculties required to create, maintain and alter dreamscapes.
Experiencing full reality while dreaming in which you are able to generate full detail and sensory immersion or create and retain placement in space/time within dreams takes attentive practice along with a second nature.
You must learn to a degree not to see any difference between dream and waking and be able to actively imagine changes in the world around you. Immerse your senses in the potential of the world when awake and envision the changes you would like to see in reality until you are at the threshold of experiencing them in totality.
In your mind practice eating food you desire until you can taste it, create beautiful flowers and seek to smell them, create machines and allow yourself to hear their inner workings, create visions and locked placements for things until they remain solid and fixed in place without effort within your minds eye and practice being able to tactilely "feel" them.
Doing these meditative exercises in waking successfully & frequently will train you to be able to truly lucidly dream.
The simple "reality checks" most instructions give you are not enough, and lack to train the mind and senses to accept the dream as being real.
For some pushing the senses in such a way may be dangerous, like in cases of mental illness for example, but the exercises may be beneficial in defining boundaries in such people too. I do not know. These are the basis of my 'secret' techniques for vivid and lucid dreaming and I have not told others before this about them.
Hope they work for you anon.
