I had a dream last night that I was at a bar, and Jack Black was there. Just before I took the shot with a group of people after a toast, I stopped and said, “Wait, this is a dream.” Immediately, I was laying in what appeared to be a large bed in a large room (seemed black and white, still very dreamy). I held up my hands and did a reality check by sticking my finger into my hand, and it was absorbed. Then, I woke up in my actual bed in my actual room.
Any thoughts on why I didn’t become lucid once I realized I was dreaming? Was the first bed my actual bed in the hypnagogic state? I didn’t have SP or anything…
You were lucid, you knew you were dreaming. It could have been a low level lucid dream.
And the first bed sounds like a false awakening to me, though it didn’t fool you =p
It happens to all of us, its just a matter of time and patience before you get a longer LD
i think that maybe you got to excited.This is a common problem that everyone goes through,You will learn how to deal with this has you have more and more lucid dreams.
ya both of lose were lucid dreams, just not “good” ones i guess. and ya the second sounds like a false awakening. Its a good thing that you basically kept your lucidty through two dreams tho.
Also if your not so sure if they were lucid, you could have had a dream you were lucid dreaming. Ha soudns weird but its happened to me many times. I say to myself im dreaming but i dont really “get it”.
