Laziness in LDing...?

Hey ya’ll…

so, last night, I was having a pretty low-level lucid dream… in that, I knew I was dreaming, and controlled myself, but… well yeah.

and in it, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom, so I did, and while I was, I thought “this is weird, I’ve never had to use the bathroom in a dream before…”

and somehow that triggered that oh-so-welcome “wooosh” into high-level lucidity… I’m sure some of ya’ll know what I mean :wink:

The lucidity was probably slightly more intense than my most intense levels before…

Anyway, I had just left a “party” downstairs and escaped to an upstairs bathroom, and when I became lucid, I teleported myself down there. After doing such, my mind like… I’m not sure, but I got this overwhelming feeling, it actually seemed almost painful, as if my brain could simply not handle the intense details of everything it was dreaming of. It’s very hard to describe, but it was like, one of the most draining feelings I’ve ever had. In another minute or two, I felt so “overwhelmed” that I forced myself awake, as I don’t really have the skill of “forgetting” I’m lucid on cue :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s right, my mind couldn’t handle it… I was too lazy to continue dreaming hehe

I’m not sure what exactly caused this, but thinking back… The party was very vividly detailed, down to every last person in the room, and when I warped myself back down there (with ease, it was probably the most control I’ve had over my dream self, ever) it was exactly as I left it, but only much more… “vivid” for lack of a better term. It’s as if my brain was really struggling to re-create the scene it had just left, or something.

Any thoughts, feelings, experiences?

I think that it takes a while for the brain to get used to recreate all the details needed for something to look really real. Sort of like when your muscles get tired after a workout. Or like a computer that’s a little too slow. I think your brain will get used to it after a few high level LD’s.
