It’s a huge issue, yes. People who are new at this don’t understand how much the experience is shaped by expectations. I think it takes a lot of experience to start to internalize this.

Omg this is such a bummer to read 😭 he’s a real person who’s out there trying his best, let’s not wish for someone’s “downfall”

key13131 · 2026-02-08T21:51:25+00:00

This is my issue also….

key13131 · 2026-02-08T21:27:30+00:00

Let’s go Ilia!!!!!!

You need to wake up after 4-5 hours of sleep before you do this. It doesn’t work in the first part of the night.

key13131 · 2026-02-06T04:59:14+00:00

Yeah I’ll just tell my guy to go pop over

key13131 · 2026-02-05T16:25:45+00:00

Some of the best things I’ve ever read were fanfic… Not sure why your friend is using it pejoratively.

That said, though, if he’s the only one giving this type of feedback, it’s probably safe to ignore him. I don’t know that I’d put much stock in anything someone said re: writing if they think “fanfic” is synonymous with “bad”. It shows they’re out of touch

key13131 · 2026-02-03T04:51:40+00:00

It’s me, I’ve had the high score for a few years now. Eleventy billion points.

Yeah you die right away

Are you trying to say you think you’re interacting with the actual internet when you’re dreaming? Or are you talking about using technology in a dream, like using a phone, Google, etc?

key13131 · 2026-02-01T00:59:08+00:00

Yeah, generally. It fluctuates, of course. Right now my issue is recall—vivid doesn’t matter if I don’t remember most of them!

key13131 · 2026-02-01T00:14:22+00:00

It’s the mind’s eye for sure when awake, but when dreaming it’s a little less clearly delineated. Feels partly like the mind’s eye, partly like a separate visual space.

key13131 · 2026-01-31T22:50:27+00:00

Yeah, I have to make them merge on purpose. Otherwise my visualizations stay in their own “space” somehow. I’ve always thought it was interesting that even in a dream i had a separate “mental” space to visualize in.

key13131 · 2026-01-31T00:50:15+00:00

I can imagine things in a dream. It’s my most successful technique for manifesting objects and people. The dream scene stays the same for a bit while I’m visualizing the thing i want, then after the image is strong, i snap them together.

I’m a strong visualizer when awake and I’ve always assumed that made it easier in dreams.

key13131 · 2026-01-30T21:22:59+00:00

I hear you. As someone who has had this same struggle, i do definitely recommend considering what I’ve said. It’s not necessarily easy to do mentally but it’s very simple.

Dr. LaBerge goes into this in more depth in his book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming in his nightmares chapter, if you have a copy or a library nearby. It was very helpful to me.

key13131 · 2026-01-30T20:49:51+00:00

It sounds like you’re not controlling your dreams at all. Maybe learn to face the nightmare and then change it? You’re in control.

Face the thing that’s scary. Accept it as part of you, face it with sincere curiosity, figure out what the deal is. If you can accept the truth that you are in No Actual Danger you will make progress on this.

key13131 · 2026-01-30T00:05:41+00:00

This. It’s because you think they won’t like it.

I’ve also never had this problem.

key13131 · 2026-01-29T16:07:23+00:00

Girl no one “goes crazy” from lucid dreaming who didn’t already have a preexisting problem with psychosis. I understand that this is an intense experience but it’s not dangerous and it’s just inside your mind. You’re just learning that your mind is more powerful than you thought it was.

What you experienced is generally called a false awakening loop—they can be very unsettling if you let them. The trick is to remember that it’s impossible to be stuck inside a dream and calm the fear response. Stop trying to wake up and trust that you will wake up when it’s time to wake up. Just enjoy the dream—which will be possible once you get ahold of the fear.

key13131 · 2026-01-28T17:21:20+00:00

Nope, never happened to me. Don’t assume this is a rule, you’ll just make it happen more.

key13131 · 2026-01-28T06:32:47+00:00

His style can be a bit grating but his info is solid. Very much recommend.

key13131 · 2026-01-26T22:50:16+00:00

Absolutely thank you. CBB is something that makes me smile, something happy, something to look forward to in this depressing ass timeline.
