Lucid dreams and solid objects

[SS_Patrick]

I have recently had some very realistic lucid dreams. I have tried to go through doors and other solid objects but for some reason I can't. I have pounded doors with my fists and I have touched them with my hands and tried to push my hands slowly through them. For some reason the results are always the same; just like in reality, I can't get through them. Doors feel just as real as in waking reality. If I hit the door with my fist, it feels just like in waking reality.

Do you have any lucid dreams, where everything feels as real as in the waking reality? Can you go through solid objects, and if you can, how do you do it?

I don't know, if my skeptical nature has something to do with this. Every time I fly in my lucid dreams, I don't believe that I can really fly, and I always look in the mirror, try to find ropes etc. to verify that I can really fly and there is no cheating. Also, I can't do any cool things in my lucid dreams. I'm always inside my house and all my time goes to verifying things and exploring some dull stuff, like doors, floor and walls. Maybe it's just my lack of imagination that I can't have lucid dreams where I'm for example king in the medieval village etc. even though I can control my dream and I usually have quite long lucid dreams.

Yeah, most of the dream objects in my lucids feel solid and real. I can walk through walls but in the past it was a struggle.. The way i achieved it was the same way i achieved the ability to fly really well in lucid dreams, I stopped 'trying' to walk through the wall and just walked through it.
I know this sounds kinda 'matrix'esc but seriously, ive found the more you think about trying to do it the harder it gets. Your mind doesnt like the thought of you being able to walk through walls or fly, its just too alien to it... If i want to walk through walls i just do it, i dont think "this is possible because im dreaming", i dont prepare myself, i just do it.. Same with flying, i just take a jump and im away, flying like a bullet or/w.

The more you analyse, the more you allow the sensible everyday part of your brain to kick in and doubt your abilities. If you dont think about what you're doing too much you should get better results... hopefully  

Oh, and on a side note, if that doesnt work for you, you can try to imagine the door is made out of liquid or something.

Maybe it's just my lack of imagination that I can't have lucid dreams where I'm for example king in the medieval village etc.

If you find yourself in a dream you would rather not be in and want to change scene you might want to try the doorway method. As you get to a door in your lucid dream imagine that beyond it is a medieval village, castle, mountainside, lake, beach etc.. imagine that your in a beach hut for example, expect bright sunshine, green palms, a white sandy beach and nice warm turquoisy waters. Then open and walk through the door, hopefully you will find yourself within your chosen destination, if not then try again or something  .

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the answers. I tried something like that last night. I didn't look at the door, but instead went through it sideways. That was actually quite interesting, it felt like there was some resisting force but I managed to go through. Like walking in the water, same kind of resistance.
