Ok well, most of my lucid dreams i’ve had are obtained by just saying i’m dreaming in a random dream. Sometimes in the dream, nothing wierd is happening, and I suddenly just blurt it out. I’m wondering what this means and is it uncommon?
I suppose if you have done it regularly it just becomes a habit, and you have become good at recognising the feeling of a dream. Even if nothing strange is happening, dreams have a different feel. I’m completely different. It takes really wierd things to make me think I’m dreaming, such as the time I was exiting the London Underground train network by sliding down a lava flow on a small metal tray. I’m such a gormster.
I’ve done that quite a lot of times. All of the completely weird and wonderful things in a dream dont make me realise, but then I look at something completely ordinary and suddenly I know I must be dreaming.
