I thought I will share my double FA I had 2 days ago.
I woke up in my bed, got up, walked around it to the living room … and there I realised that I was dreaming.
bang
I woke up in my bed, got up and walked around my bed, and went to the living room, wonderring what a Strange dream I had.
bang
Woke up in my bed again I cant explain how weird it felt to walk around my bed for the 3rd time this morning, except this time I was really awake (Or as awake as I get in my waking life)… Felt like De-ja-vu - except not quite like it hehe …
I can remember just one FA I had. It was pretty funny, because just before that, I had had a dream where I found some very beautiful clothes (I’m a clothing freak!) from a garbage bin and took them with me in the dream.
Then I “woke up” and was all like “bleargh, it was just a dream, the clothes aren’t real…” Until I saw them nicely put on my bedside table. I was really confused, until I really woke up.
Okay, I woke up, sat down on the computer chair, and noticed that something was not right. I then looked at my hand and it was so obvious that I was dreaming - it was shakeing and got motion-trails after it. But, I kind of ignored it/or did not believe that I was dreaming. Then the phone rang, and it was this girl I like that I was suppouse to call this week (trouble with her phone when I called her) and we started talking, it was very hard for her to answer simple questions that I asked.
It´s possible that the phone rang at the same time that I realized that I was dreaming (but I think i ignored the fact that I was dreaming). Not sure.
I guess this is a good sign?
The previous FA I got was more simple though: I woke up at my friends appartment (in reality I was at home) and started to talk to him about this crazy dream I just had. Then - cloudy.
False Awakenings, hopeless! Even though it is a HUGE dreamsign. You usually walk a bit around here and there, and then you wake up thinking “Cool, I had an FA”. But then you get annoyed when you wake up from that once again
FAs are kind of cool when they only happen once…but if it ever happens about 6 consecutive times in a row it can be really frustrating…I think I can even remember my first FA dating back to when I was four!
I had 3 FA’s in a row before I really woke up once. By the time I really woke up, I was so frustrated that I punched myself in the opposite (left) shoulder, expepecting it to not hurt cause it was a “dream”. I learned quickly after that…
i have had my fair share of FA. infact instead of following a lucid dream they actually induce my lucid dreams. because i might wake up in my own bed and i think its real life. i have concious thought in them, it is different to a normal dream.
as i look at my surroundings i know that this is not my house and that i must be dreaming. a quick reality check and bam.
this FA induced LDs are the most strong and vivid ones that i have usually.
Lucid Clown, that sounds neat… at least better than my experience with FA last night.
I had my first SILD (self-induced-lucid-dream (MILD, VILD, WILD, RC, etc.), a phrase I’d like to coin… ) last night. Had it through RC, but probably also came from MILD… Anyway, I decided, “Gee, I haven’t done this in a while. Let me get my wings first, then I’ll see if I can meet up with one of my cousins.” Well, I had FA 2 secs after. Didn’t get to fly or anything. And I forgot to RC like I normally do first thing in the morning, so I rushed downstairs, ate breakfast and had another FA. Then I rushed downstairs and ate breakfast again, then really woke up.
Ive so many FA that i could set my nick to some thing like FA-Master.
I had 4 times the last 10 days (i remembered of sleeping 8 times)
3 Years ago i had my record!!!
I think it was 16 FA in same dream!!!
How it worked:
I was dreaming that I was dreaming (surely) and I woke up after i saw a disaster (A large fatory colapsing with many victims!! I was passing near it) and then woke up (False awakening) and then i got to bed again.
After going to bed, I dreamed about another disaster ( an huge flood along with many destruction and people stuck in floating pieces), and I got to bed again.
Again, another disaster (a plane crash). I woke (FA) pissed off, and grabbed a paper and a pencil and put it inside a chair near my bed. I started to write down the number of the disasters.
Go to bed, another disaster (a violent car running over a person making him be…) woke up and wrote it.
Again, again again until i had the 15 on the paper
(List of other disasters I remember:
2 Another building colapses. (one of them is the last one)
Car crash.
3 fires (one of them wild fire and one of them in a risky situation of explosion, but not happened).
A plane explosion in mid air.
Boat sinking.
chemical leaking.
Huge explosion.
Violent Storms and blowing wind.
Earthquake (yea more colapses…)
(im not really sure about the order, maybe i forgot one.)
The number 16 was another colapse! I woke up very pissed off ready to write the new number… HEY WHERE IS THE PAPER???
i had 4 FA’s last night, and 2 the night before. i had lucid dreams in both nights.
these FA’s i find quite ammusing, especially if i wake up in identicle bed that i sleep in, with the exact same clothes on.
in one of the FA’s from last night, i woke up from a lucid dream, in the dream i was underwater and hearing some kind of singing sound, and i was trying to swim towards it.
i “awoke” in my bed, and there were 3 people outside my bedroom window. my brother, and 2 of his friends from his school. they were yelling at me, and they were saying that my girlfriend was not coming over today because i didnt deserve her.
then i woke up for real. luckily my girlfriend did end up coming over later in the day, the dream characters were just being meanies
i find FA’s quite interesting indeed, they can be a great oppourtunity to become lucid.
Last night, I was caught by a FA without waking up , I had my first good level LD, but half way through the dream, I had a FA, except I was still in the dream, I never actually awoke, I just lost lucidity, and thought I had woken up, and continued to tell my friend who I found nearby, about the LD. How did I think I had woken up, I must be so dum!
I’m afraid that losing lucidity is the biggest problem for most of us. That’s why looking at your hands or performing RC’s from time to time - and especially when you think you wake up from a LD - is very useful.
