How does one gain lucidity in his dreams?
Can one even do it if one doesn't even remember his dreams?

>you work through inner fears
Maybe, I can recall myself being paranoid about lucid dreaming as it can sometimes led to sleep paralasys. I can vividly remember that I had a dream in a dream in a dream. And I woke up paranoid as shit.

Well, maybe, but you wouldn't remember, so...

Lucid dreaming happens to most people naturally once in awhile, but if it doesn't, you can usually train yourself for it. If you have a lot of trouble remembering your dreams from the outset, it might require mechanisms or diet to disturb your usual sleep pattern.

You can Google various lucid dreaming methods, such as WILD, MILD, or WBTB. You can skip the sites that wax poetic, but there's nothing magical about it, beyond that you may choose to start throwing fireballs in your dreams.

I've never seen a theory on dreams that accounts for why dreams of your teeth falling out are so common across cultures.

>an experience all humans share in common
>needs an explanation as to why they dream about it
I've never seen a theory as to why we all dream of eating, and seeing our parents, and drowning either... Probably because no one ever felt the need for one.

Though, come to think of it, I've yet to have that one.

not really, they're just a result of your brain trying to function as it normally would but it being in a sensory-deprived and largely unconscious state results in "dreams".

>dreams are thoughts prove me wrong
MIND BOGGLE

>people in general dream about stuff that happens to people in general
HOLY SHIT

how are you sure you are "awake" now and not in another dream?!
