Hi, after last night’s LD, I was thinking and noticed I tend to have some post-LD side-effects, such as:
Does anybody notice side-effects like this?
Yep I have had most of those after an LD especially the increased dream recall and that weird feeling after an LD. I find it hard to explain to but its aurgh I dont know.
when ive had an ld i just get really hyped up and stuff and i usually remember all my other NDs from that night
Yup, normally I’m very tired in the morning, but when i had my first LD i had so much energy in the morning.
after my first LD I was a bit freaked out to be honest because I didn’t get to do much at all , it was a case of realising I was dreaming in the middle of a dream (DILD) and then getting a weird buzz feeling in my head and then the dream faded leaving me with a black background the and then I turned it white and began to “draw” objects on it , then I woke up a little freaked out , I was skeptic at first as to if this was possible.
its an odd feeling.
It is pretty odd how it can do that to you… My ENTIRE awareness is increased, physical and mental…
Yeah I admit when I first lucid dreamt I was really really young and did slightly freak out! 
yeh the whole buzz to the head thing and how just thinking “I’m dreaming” while you are dreaming can do that.
Rapouc
yeah, that sort of adrenaline rush! it feels like you’re more alive than you ever are…
The biggest after-effect LDs have on me is that they’re the largest booster of my motivation to LD. This means that usually when I get lucid, I’ll get lucid for several days afterward as well. Also, during the day I’m generally in a better mood, and still have that “lucid” feeling and higher awareness of the enviroment.
I’ve noticed pretty much the same effects as you, Riggzy.
The biggest being the increased DR for ND’s.
I think it’s mostly just because I’m glad (or sometimes ecstatic) that I had a LD, so I have more energy, and think more about dreams in general. That’s pretty common for anything that makes you happy.
I don’t know, just my theories 
I noticed that too, mainly feelings but also the increased thoughts about dreams during the day.I’ve noticed that the feelings also occur after normal dreams, particularly if I can remember them. I find it most annoying when I can’t remember the dream at all but some emotion continually pops up unexpectedly during the day. It is decidedly more than annoying when that feeling is depression or anxiety, regardless of whether I can remember the dream. If I do have the feeling of depression or anxiety after I wake up it stays with me either the better part of the morning or in one case that I can remember until the late afternoon.
Often in the morging after a lucid dream in wich I actually do something and stiy in it for more than a few seconds, I often feel more awake and aware, like after a good meditation session. Also I can much more easily see how the waking world is like a dreamworld, in that it exists in my head. I think more often that I might be dreaming. But also experience more strongly that I am NOT dreaming. That this is really here, although I have this in the mornings often without lucid dreaming. I think it’s related to how vivid my dreams were that night.
It’s a sort of state that. i guess it’s a little hard to explan really. The world feels more real, but at the same time unreal, and it feels like everything that happens is a game, or a dream, but it’s the real dream. And It’s a good feeling.
That’s exactly how I felt after my last LD.
Everytime I’ve LD’d I always wake up with a sense of tremendous acheivement (basically I feel very smug 
)
On my 3rd (and latest) LD I managed to confront a nightmare I’ve been having lately and since then the nightmare hasn’t troubled me at all. I woke up and I just felt amazing as if a huge weight had been taken off.
If I have a lucid dream, (and I do cool things first time) I feel as though i’m a pro Lucid dreamer 
. And in the day, I’m convinced alot that it’s a dream.
When I wake up from a lucid dream, it feels like I’ve had the greatest sleep of my life! I wake up completely energized and refreshed. Throughout the day I am also more aware and do reality checks more often.
