Strange thing keeps happening !!

Hi guys, I have had this thing for a while now. It only happens sometimes but is really strange.

When am trying to fall alseep sometimes i am completey conscious, I think it is a dream so I say “iam dreaming” to try and induce a lucid dream only nothing happens. I keep trying this and still nothin happens. I dont know weather am awake or asleep but it feels like am trapped between the two. Everything is as clear as day, regarding my visual experience of the situtation but I dont know where I am.

Do you think its just a real intense visualization or what ?

Thanks

Sleep paralyzes :confused:

naah i have had that before, I am able to move while doing this visual experience and able to think normally. I can hold it for as long as I want to. Doesnt really bother me just like to know what it is :smile:

It sounds sort of like falling asleep, except you haven’t mentioned sleep paralysis or anything…maybe it’s just an interesting state of mind which you stumbled across…anyway, it sounds pretty neat :smile:

Well, do RC if you’re not sure. That’s happened to me many times during WILD so I just do a quick one if I’m not sure, and more likely than not, I am, indeed, dreaming.

If not, then just keep at it for a while, and you should eventually get to sleep…

I cant really do any cool stuff with it, but i guess I havent really tried as I have always pushed for the lucid dream which never came, or tried to figure out what was going on.

I dont know maybe I am dreaming and saying am dreaming just isnt enough for me to go lucid. I will try different things

Thanks for the advice, i think I am gonna play around with it and see what happens:)

what are your surroundings like. Are they youre normal room. or is it some place weird, or can you not tell.

it chnages sometimes, am looking at my room with clear vision only to remember that my eyes are closed and sometimes its somwhere i dont know

You are trapped between the two!

I have felt that many times. It is a very scary experience (at least for me) can’t breathe, can’t talk, and can’t move. Your stuck and no one can hear you in your dream or outside yor dream.

RhytmofCosmos - I had an experience like that last night, actually. Of course, I forgot to follow my own advice…

JoDuke - That sounds different… It sounds more like sleep paralysis, and not everyone who is between the sleeping and waking state will experience this. Unless I’m crazy, because I haven’t experienced SP lately, but I’ve had transitions from awake to dream lately…

elaborate…
