When Dreams Attack

[Astralaegis]

While attempting to AP and Phase, I have also been attempting to gain control of my dreams via Lucid Dreaming as I feel this can also be a tool for AP.  The problem is I am able to gain partial control or partial awareness, but when this happens it is like the dream fights to keep me out of control and in normal dream mode.  For instance I dreamt my boss was angry at me for not showing up to work (I am a nurse) for 3 days in a row.  I asked where was I supposed to work, she told me I was to work on a different floor than I normally work.  I knew something was wrong because I never work those floors, and I knew the floors she told me didn't even exist.  I argued with her this wasn't the truth, that those floors didn't even exist.  She told me to look at the schedule book and I just KNEW it would say what is true.  It turns out the schedule book was what see said and I sat there looking at it stunned.  At that point I felt defeated and the dream changed.

At times I can change things in my dreams, especially now I am learning more about meditation and AP.  I am also remembering more of my dreams.  However when I try to change anything about the dream, it's a lot like the people in Inception when they become more hostile as you try to change the dream.  Anyone experience this?

ya. you just have to leave. tell yourslef to break down the walls... something to make it end. when it becomes vilolent as it some times can. well you have to fight way out.. when i ap eather by regular or when in dream. i always have to get out of a place. depending on how i did the ap will depend on how i need to leave. when i do it in the dream state. i break down the walls of the dream or just fly off. most of the time when i do this something pulls me out of the dream when i tell myeslef i am dreaming.. it gets better just need to come up with a way for it to change quck and so u can get out without looseing the ability to stay alert and dont fall back into the dream.
