ok sorry if this is the wrong place, but I didn’t know where to post this. I just had a LD last night. It wasn’t anything particularly amazing, but the entire I’ve had has been great. Its been a perfectly average boring day at home, and yet I feel great. It’s like im pumping out endorphins for no reason… I’ve also been a little depressed lately (not super depressed, but school and stuff felt overwhelming), and now I don’t feel that way whatsoever. Anyone ever experience this after a LD?
Yeah, it’s that way with me either right after I have an LD or a particularly good dream. Like, for the rest of the day I’m practically bouncing off of things, and that’s completely out of character for me.
Mhmm… I notice that too.
That’s one of the reasons I LOVE to have LDs!
I’m just so happy all day, and it seems that even a normal day is better… and I’m never bored after an LD.
I guess that’s just a natural reaction 
. It happens to me too.
it happened to me too. i felt greatly elated during the day for no good reason
It happends to me too. I thought it was just because I’ve reached a goal
Same here. Either it’s the “reaching a goal” thingy or the moment of awareness triggers some sort of serotonin release, cos I always feel happy in a fuzzy kind of way afterwards.
I don’t think it was that I reached a goal, because I haven’t been trying to LD for a while. I have just about given up, though not completely. I wasn’t that excited about the dream, partly because I only had low level lucidity. Almost seems like something chemical in my brain… I was happy for no reason at all lol
I’ve had the same reaction. 
I feel good for the rest of the day, especially if the dream is really vivid.
yup LD’s can make you feel great!
I had my first LD the night of March 2…and today I feel so rested and ecstatic.
Do lucid dreams always make you feel SO GOOD? This is honestly the best I’ve felt in a long long time.
Yep
The cooler and more realistic the LD, the better you feel, in my experience.
Because spending an amount of time with freedom to do whatever you want be it real or not is an awesome feeling. There’s no rules, or boundaries. And when u wake up, it feels like it’l be just that much easier to LD the next time too. so it just puts u in a good mood, even though u aren’t constantly thinking about LDing.
I love the feeling! I feel so confident after being able to ld and my feelings of excitement and happiness tend to “cross over” to waking life, if you will.
My one friend can tell if I’ve had a good dream. I come in and be all bouncy and in a very good mood! And then she’ll be like, “have a good dream?”
Same here!
