Anyone got one of those high risk high reward layouts where the core has absurd amount of DPS and is hard to access to? Pls send it in the comments, thanks

So far Ive had 4 LDs, but one thing I noticed is that ALL of them dont have that 16k UHD graphics feeling everyones talking about, one where you can feel all the textures of everything you touch, smell the air, hear everything, etc. Everytime I touch something in my dream, it just feels like a flat solid block and my eyes feel like theyre permanently squinting

I tried to fix this earlier with my most recent lucid dream, I entered a LD, was in my bed, did the nose pinch RC, nice, Im in a dream, took off my sleep mask and touched the wall and said "Clarity", suddenly, the wall looked very clear, tho I still didnt feel its textures and stuff, I sat on my bed, said "INCREASE CLARITY" out loud so that the entire dream becomes more intense and realistic since I've heard this is what a lot of people do in order to make their dreams way clearer, but for some reason... it did the opposite for me?? 😭😭 Like, I felt a sudden shock on my head and suddenly the dream went dark, I couldnt see shit, like my eyes were permanently shut, but I could still feel my butt sitting on my bed, so I just laid down in my dream and slept and then I woke up

Oh yeah, I haven't been doing journaling in a while, I've heard that dream recall is what makes your dreams more realistic so maybe that could be it?

I've heard of the sand analogy where if you counted each corners of an unlimited amount of sand grains, the number would be a bigger and denser infinity than if you counted an unlimited grains of sand. But I'm still confused, aren't both still unlimited?? I thought infinity was something where "nothing surpasses it" because it never ends?

I just want to start off by saying I havent tried to lucid dream in about a week or so after I had my first one because I simply lost interest and forgot about it, but I saw a reddit post about it yesterday here and forgot I was interested in this thing lol, dont know if not lucid dreaming for a while affects my rationality during my dreams but it could so I wanted to point this out

So like, I just woke up, earlier around 4-5 AM in the morning I had my natural awakenings and I did FILD, after a minute or so I saw a light and I entered the dream, I was in my bed, presumably my room, eyes still closed, but for some reason... my brain kept irrationally imagining demonic stuff, I kept reminding myself "Im in control this isnt real" but no matter what I did my heart rate just kept rising and I felt my back heat up for some reason (this heat even carried over after I woke up), and for some reason, just like last time, my mom was there... she did the same thing as my first lucid dream, she told me to look at her again, but after she told me to look at her she told me what my name was what my town hall was?? LMAO (I play Clash of clans). But because of those I just kept my eyes closed inside my dreams due to fear of lucid nightmares and let go so I would wake up, which I did

After I woke up, I thought of giving it a go again, I tried FILD again, same shit happened, mom was there, "look at me" and I woke up again

Any tips on how I can stop my brain from irrationally thinking of scary stuff? I already reminded myself multiple times that this isnt real but it feels like my brain just goes "So what? It feels real enough"

Oh yeah I havent written in my dream journal in a while, dk if thats important but it could be

After nearly 1 month (i think it's been exactly 29 days ever since I started), I FINALLY GOT A LUCID DREAM

So yesterday night I went back to sleep after reading some peoples posts about lucid dreaming in this sub, had my natural awakening after 4 and 1/2 hours and was about to do SSILD, but I realized SSILD is so annoying cuz I have to wake up for nearly 10 minutes in total just to finish the entire thing, so I thought of doing FILD instead, so I kept my eyes closed with my sleep mask on, slept on my back so my fingers could position itself on the mattress properly, and started doing finger movements for like 1 minute, after like 1 minute... nothing happened, but then a few seconds later I started to see an "image" in the darkness of my eyelids, I focused on it, did 1 last finger movement, and suddenly I felt intense vibrations and coldness in my body for 1 second before I settled in the dream

Then holy shit, I was in my bed, my mom that was there for some reason told me to look at her the moment I entered the dream but I just ignored that, I stood up inside my dream, and saw that the dream was kinda low quality, so I decided to stabilize for like 10s by rubbing my hands and touching the floor, it worked, the entire room suddenly looked like how it looked irl, went for the door, opened it, expecting a random location, but for some reason... it just greeted me with a wall?? Like an elevator without its doors in the middle of 2 floors, I closed the door again, expecting a beach, nothing happened, but then I closed it one last time, looked back, and said, "There will be a beach" and voila there was a damn beach holy shit! I stepped in, and suddenly after 1s of stepping in, I woke up

It didnt last long at all, probably like half a minute in total, but damn I'm already lookin forward to the next one

So like, its been a while since I've been doing SSILD now, and it seems like its working, dreams are getting more vivid, my dreams are about lucid dreaming, and my dream body is even doing stabilization techniques when it sees the dream is collapsing, ALL WITHOUT ME BEING CONSCIOUS! But thats my problem, how come I keep having dreams like this and my brain somehow still doesnt catch on and wake up to become conscious?
Anyone had an experience like this? If so, how did you fix it? SOMEONS PLSSS HELPP
