I'm determined to master lucid dreaming but it seems to be the one topic over the year's that I've never been able to find any concrete information on.
Can anyone share books, videos and anything else they've poured over in the past and found useful? Any advice for someone dedicated to the art but struggling to find a way to get started?

My dreams usually involve being an entirely different being altogether. Not just by different human, but something else. I would hope I'm not the only one but at the same time I dislike bringing it up.
Last night, for instance, as my dream progressed I ripped my skin off like it was some silk cloth and took the form of something like pic related.

what do you call a dream in which you are not aware you are dreaming, yet are able to consciously decide your actions?
I often enter this state when my dream becomes either very violent or very personal towards me

Lucid dreaming sounds cool and all but some of the most profound dreams I've had haven't been lucid. How much credibility would you put into a fabricated/forced scenario?
I once had a dream where I was a toddler and my mother sang to me and told me she loved me.
I once had a lucid dream where I tried to summon my worst fear and a mirror appeared but instead of looking at my reflection it was as if I was not there, just my empty room reflected.
I once had a dream where I felt terribly sick and I was living in a sort of marble palace, very luxurious and full of embellishment. I then went to the bath and vomited a milk-like fluid for ages.
I once had a dream were i tried to call myself through my own phone but nobody answered.

ONLY WHILE AWAKE.
Seriously though, dreams are pretty much a psychedelic version of waking reality. The night version of waking daylight. Which leads me to ask… what the hell are you up to?

Really dude? You're coming on an esoteric wizardry board, asking about lucid dreaming, and you post some disgusting mundane thot. Seriously. Seriously. With lucid dreaming you could be on your way to astral travel, out of body experiences; but you just want to dream about plowing slags. Disgusting, pathetic. Mundanes, please go.

>fabricated/forced scenario
Maybe you haven't had profound lucid experiences because you're doing it wrong. If it feels fabricated or forced, you're doing it wrong. The experiences I've had in lucid dreams and astral projections are infinitely more profound than the average/mundane dreams you just posted. They felt more real than this life; definitely not forced or fabricated. Enough to make me start to question if this world is actually the illusion and the dream world/astral planes are the real reality.

Working with my godparent who resides Above.
Last night I had a dream I took off my own head so I could groom the hard to see areas. Strangely I could see as if my eyes were in the same spot as before.

A being recognized you were sexually repressed as fug and tried to liberate you.
That or it is a dream about a certain RL power struggle, or you are trying to pull whatever that girl represented into your life.
I don't see why people get so upset with sex dreams here.

What I've found is that sex, in dreams, is an attempt to unify. In the animal kingdom, it is demonstrated by exchanging little pieces of self in order to produce something. In the dream world there is no chance to produce children but as yourself within yourself.
In short, sex means to merge or meld and the desires are based off of what your partner represents.

My dreams offer complex and interesting environments, but sometimes the animation of other characters isn't entirely smooth. I almost feel like I embarass my subconscious noticing errors. Any advice?

An easy way to have a lucid dream is to not move when you wake up and just go back to sleep. You will go back into the same dream and realise so. Of course it's pretty difficult but if you have one of those days when you keep waking up you can try it out.

could've been less cringy but yea, this. Even if there were no shitty kikes or other shit heads spinning deceit to hide our own abilities from us, there is no way you can say for certain that the way I see and feel the world is the same. If I were to ask someone what color the sky is, they will say blue, and I would agree with them, the sky is blue. But, through minute (or even grand) differences in eye structure, What I see as the color frequency of blue could very well be what you see as red, or green. Blue eyes, for instance, are not merely the result of what pigment cells are present, but are actually the result of the arrangement of the cells of the iris that results in a prismatic refraction of light that winds up reflecting the color blue. If that is the result of structural difference then surely structural differences inside the pupil or brain could result in seeing the world entirely differently than others.
And, as such, it should be assumed that where I explain how I entirely accidentally learned about dharma the hard way, as well as the specific path that led me there, my explanation will probably not be much help to anyone else. And that is primarily because the path has mini-bosses along the way and each mini-boss is custom tailored to your own weaknesses.
There is no "everyone follow these instructions" this is all something where we must each go our own way. Create, never duplicate. Gotta be able to take the stories and advice that people give and recognize the lessons within while forgetting the details without.

Herbs help me dream infinitely.
Valerian root
Any kinda sage
Chamomile
Lavender
Licorice
Mint
Kratom
Blue lotus
I take varying combos of the above with water, a small amount in my palm right before bed, dump the herbs in my mouth and chew them up good, let saliva begin to digest them and taste the essence of the herbs.
Then holy fuck hold onto your ass and enjoy the ride.
