The ultimate goal in Tibetan dream yoga is to “apprehend the dream” (attain
conscious awareness) then dissolve the dream state. When you are deprived of
physical stimulus (from the sleeping body) and conceptual stimulus (from the
dreaming mind), you can observe the purest form of conscious awareness.

Lucid dreaming is the innoscent play of the sub-conscious. That anyone place
such importance to this to the extent one would spend time practising
"Tibetan-dream-yoga" is a desperate cry for real knowledge.

It's funny when you are having that lucidity in a dream and you look at the
characters you are interacting with and think to yourself "You people are just
a creation of my fancy" but said characters don't bat an eyelid and just get on
with their roles!
My lucid dream last night was also pleasant. And I had the thought that I could
awake myself and see my familiar bedroom anytime I wished - which I assume was
indeed the case.

When I have had a lucid dream, with the same caveats - spontaneous, no
techniques or anything, uncommon, I always find what is unfolding, so
compelling, that it doesn't occur to me to want to change direction, or look at
my left foot, or whatever. I am always drawn along, usually pleasantly, by the
events I am watching and somehow participating in, and just let it go along. I
suppose if I had them often, I might want to explore more about them.

So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's happened a few
times before - always involuntary as I've never bothered to follow the
"techniques" recommended by devotees of this perception). At least I assume it
was a lucid-dream experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which
included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one wasn't (if you
can follow that explanation). What's more, I woke up (for real), mused about
the dream for a minute, then fell asleep again and immediately went back into
the same dream landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state.
Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the "dreamscape" to suit
yourself. So you might find it amusing to flip over into being a Zero pilot on
a kamikaze mission and diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. Whatever
floats your boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was indeed
dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before me so just left
the dream to run its course while absorbing the novel experience.
My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to change to suit your
whim or is it a case of practice makes perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams are
like mine? Or maybe my will power is feeble compared with my imaginative power
and others have a more dominant will?
Anyone had a similar experience?
