I noticed something. During one of my dreams I was at school flirting with some girls, it got boring so I just walked through the wall. It took me to a wooded area and I was in the tree tops. It must have been Autumn because there were no leaves. Anyway I was flying around and I saw Takara, so I’m like “Hey, I think I’ll go over there” When I did, the dream turned to black and white sketches. I usually dream in a manga/anime form. So black and white is weird. I thought I woke up because the dream broke up. So now I’m talking to my girlfriend on the phone telling her about the dream.
For some reason I could see her on the other line, and she was Chun-Li!! Okay, I'll still dreaming. But my dream was so realistic it made me think I was awake! That sucks because I was about to score with a Dragoness. Any one else experiance this? :eh:
Black and white sketches: yes, when transitioning to cartoonish dreams I have had it happen. It makes sense if you look at the way our system of visual perception is laid out.
False awakenings not dream-like enough so that you become lucid: all the time.
Zaerus, I think you may have mentioned this somewhere else, but are you a natural? How often do you lucid dream?
False awakenings! Grrrr don’t you just hate them?
I had one last night that was so convincing that I started trying the WILD technique. It worked up to a point until (still in the same dream) my mum woke me up and I went into another false awaking with my husband waking me up!!
I had a weird false awakening where I dreamed I woke up with sleep paralysis and had an Out of Body Experience. It scared the crap out of me! Then I really woke up after I ‘returned to my body’.
I should’ve known better. If you’re smart, you’ll learn to love false awakenings and become lucid during them, but I was lucid the dream before my false awakening and my ‘SP’ prevented me to move even when I was lucid…
To answer the question, I am a natural and every single one of my START off lucid. As a matter of fact, I have back my dreams unlucid to enjoy them sometimes. False awakenings suck…But has an one had it to where they COULDN’T wake up from a dream .
