I’ve had block recently with lucid dreams. I have been able to achieve full lucidity without any issues, but I always become aware when I'm in my own house. Then everything seems so real and natural that I have trouble convincing myself to do anything extraordinary. I can’t seem to leave my house and go on an adventure or anything, I just end up on my front lawn, then I wake up. Any help would be appreciated.
Not everything in your house will seem real. Find a digital clock and remember the time. Look away and then look back - the time will change. Or try touching or walking through a mirror. You will definitely convince yourself that something strange is happening.
I agree with BladeDraconis. You might want to try the ‘behind the door’ trick. In your dream, simply close a door, then say out loud “Behind this door, there is [whatever you want].” When you open the door, you will see whatever it is you manifested, and you can simply step into it. I have used this many times, and it works like a charm.
Thanks! Last night, I tried a combination of trying to keep track of time and the ‘behind the door’ trick and it worked like a charm. After looking at the clock the second time, and I visualized an amazonian jungle, then opened my front door and there it was. I could even feel the humidity roll over my as I stepped out of my house. I am finally free to explore!
