I haven't remembered a lot lately but I do know that I was having a serious and spooky dream the other day and it just turned into a fapfest after an explosion threw a submarine into a glowing hole in the ground. Lol. The suggestive imagery killed the plot. XD
OMG, I freakin' LOLed!
I'm a frequent lucid dreamer. This is something I actively pursued over the years and my lucid dreams (and the non-lucid ones) have been evolving over time. I used to attempt to force things, and succeeded to varying degrees, but I've been taking an approach of more going with the flow of the dream. I think of it as it's all me, that my consciousness is just part of who I am and my sub-conscious is also me, just a different part, and the two are having a conversation of sorts. These conversations are healthy and have a purpose. It's okay to be lucid, IMHO, during these chats. It's even okay to manipulate the dream to some extent as long as it doesn't feel violent or forced, because that's symbolic of a kind of self-hatred.
I recently had a lucid dream where suddenly these security guards came out of a door and rushed me with various weapons drawn. My first thought was how do I defend myself and defeat them. Do I blast them with fire, draw a weapon, etc.? Then I thought, "No, they're me. They're not some other that you have to fight with." And I said it out loud in the dream "No" very calmly. They guards stopped in their tracks. The guy in front was holding up some kind of sharp thing. I put my finger on the tip of it and just gently pushed it down to his side and he complied. They just stood there looking kind of confused but all their anger drained away.
It felt like quite a victory and without any bloodshed.
