Howdy, yall!
So i was in bed about a week ago trying to fall asleep. It was really nice and warm, but i could hear something strange. My chemistry teacher was lecturing! The odd part was, he was actually telling me correct information, like i was actually in class! “oh, great” i thought, "i have to go to school tomorrow and it’s gonna seem really long, i know it…
Then i heard, “Ryan, you ok?” and i look up to see my chemistry teacher smiling, “You look kinda spaced out!” I realize that i was actually in class, with my head on my arm. I wasn’t in bed at all! Rats!
Another example i had was when i was in the same class i different day (it makes me tired for some reason), i was listening to the lecture, but i was also imagining a car driving down a road. It was exactly like a dream, except i was still hearing the teacher teach.
I want to know if this is truly me falling asleep and dreaming, or simply daydreaming. If i was truly falling asleep, then this could become most prosperous for me.
Prosperous, why you ask? Well, this often happens when i am trying to fall asleep in bed. For example, one time i was telling myself, “i am dreaming… i am dreaming…” and i suddenly saw myself in third person talking to my friend. He said “dude, why are you doing that!” and i said back “shut up! i have to remember to remember my dream!” Then i realized my mind was wandering, my heart skipped a beat, and i was fully awake again. Now, if i can learn to control this, and enter sleep before i wake myself up, i could have pleanty of LDs, because this happens to me often!
Thanks for the help!
edit: come to think of it this probably belongs in "pathways to lucidity… can i move it myself or does a mod have to?
