>tfw you teach yourself to lucid dream for the purpose of asking dream figures questions about yourself as a method of speaking directly to ones unconscious mind but every time you ask them questions they either just smile at you, ask you the same question back or give nonsensical answers

Do you guys ever feel guilty about taking ideas for stories from dreams? I used to capture them when I had an awesome dream, but I started to feel like it wasn't fair since I feel like I actually didn't think of the idea in the first place.

Write down their nonsensical answers and think about them in your waking life

I had 11 novels come from one dream. Then, 10 years later while having a hallucinatory fit from the flu and pneumonia at the same time, a 12-15 volume story appeared. Should take about another 12 years to finish. 60 pages into it so far.
(Pic related) first series

I am having trouble using lucid dreams or fantasies and a creative way, any suggestions
>>
>>7467245
Dreams are dictated by your subconscious. Try going out to experience things so your mind can have some actual material.
>>
>>7467245
write them down.
if you can't keep yourself in check... well, you'll get bored with summoning semen demons eventually.

>tfw the piss in both

>>7467259
I like restricting myself, I dont really want tempt myself into busting a nut or anything. The sexual fantasies I can't control, and my lucid dreams are usually mundane while being selfaware.
>>7467258
I've moved a few times but I am limited by my budget and ensuring a well balanced place to live. I am planning to move for recreational marijuana use which I want to try for several reasons, but that shouldn't be for another year or two.

Anything specific, like changing life style choices for awhile?
>>
>>7467309
>Anything specific
Take a walk

>>7467326
Exercise is important is important mentally and physically, I'm not a shut-in.
>>7466620
Keep lights on while you sleep but put covers over your eyes, when you go to turn off an alarm just be sure not to put back on the cover.
Change up your sleep patterns, like go to sleep early one day or something, it may help. Eat well.
