I thought about this question this morning, when I woke up from two semi-lucid dreams (I did a reality check, realized I was dreaming, keep on doing what I was doing in the dream, waking up a few second later whit the dream world rapidly fading).
I remember that when I woke up from a real LD it was completely different.
It’s really hard to describe…
Imagine that your eyes rotate, letting you see inside your head. And then that they rotate again, and when you see the world again it’s not the dream world anymore, ut the real world.
When I woke up it was something like that, that happened non to my eyes but to my mind.
Sorry for the senseless simile…
Anyway, what do you feel like when you wake up from a LD?
From a good LD I feel very energic, but yet relaxed like that you have finished something important and feel satisfied, so LD is like getting a kick for the coming day so to say
This may sound crazy, but when I’m waking up from a LD I feel… scared. I mean, when I am in the LD I stay, I don’t lie. Now when I wake up, I feel consciously (because it’s a LD) how my arms and feet move slowly, pushed by an invisible energy, into the position I lie IRL in my bed. That is quite freaking me out… but after that, when I see it’s morning and it’s nice outside, I feel very relaxed and refreshed, ready to face another day .
That’s one of the strange facts about my awkward awakenings and pre-awakening experiences…
I’ve only had fully conscious and controllable lucid dreams as a kid a few times, but I remember that on all of those occasions I felt hyper and excited - the start of the day was great, and it would take quite a lot to cloud that feeling of happiness.
I guess that’s the magic of flying and doing random mischief just because you can.
I was super-energized after a my first lucid dream where I had full lucidity. My next two were less lucid (recognized I was dreaming, but never really did anything in reaction to this. I even tried to go on the internet which worked about as well as you’d expect), and when I woke up from those I just felt normal.
I rarely have a bad day after an LD. It’s calm and relaxed, but excited and proud. It’s even better after waking up from one LD and going into another.
I always feel energized, yet light, like I am floating after I wake from a lucid dream. It’s almost like a have one foot in this world and one in the dream world. It’s this knowledge/conformation that there is more to life then I knew, and for a little while I am not so Earth-bound, almost a little like a spirit.
I love that feeling. The longer the lucid dream the stronger the feeling
I only had one lucid dream yet. Although the dream was very “calm” and controlled by me, my heart was racing when I woke up. I had the feeling of pure adrenalin in my veins.
What you described reminds me of waking up with my eyes open already. The real vision is quite confusing and disorienting for a second. The wall is the ceiling. That kind of thing. But usually, when I wake up from a LD I simply try to go back in. Sometimes I will feel like my body is vibrating, and I can move my dream arms without moving my physical arms. The trick is to simply imagine moving your arms. If I don’t succeed. The dream simply fades away. Then I feel disappointed for a second. And finally I feel glad that I had a lucid dream.
Depends on the level of lucidity. Once i woke up in the middle of the night when some dream memory came back but it took a while before this major LD (which contained 3 FA’s, it almost felt like nested dreams) popped up. Then i was like, whoooo OMG! I immediately wrote it down in order to be able to catch some more sleep for the rest of the night.
But other times i wake up thinking, what that it? I’m pulling the LD stuff way out of proportion…
On a side note, is it really true that high-level lucid dreams are exactly as clear and vivid as reality?
For example, could I pretend that I’m dreaming a lucid dream about sitting in front of the computer right now and get an accurate imagination of what it would feel and look like?
Supre tired…you all won’t understand, there wasn’t any explainations for this
And I’m sure whatever thats causing LD to happen to me, its causing this too…
like that you have finished something important and feel satisfied, so LD is like getting a kick for the coming day so to say
