well i have just noticed that in maybe about a quarter of my LD’s i keep on blinking my eyes because i feel sooo tired in the dream. Which sometimes leads to me opening my eyes… anyone else have that and then i have another interesting question. Well last night i was really tired so i closed my eyes to go to sleep. After like a minute ( i wasnt seeing anything beneath my closed eyes colors shapes etc.) i was just imagining riding my bike and then i wasnt exactly controling it i was about to hit the curb (still just imagining this) and my whole body-everything twitches and like boom! this has happened before its as if my body is bracing my self for something but i act it out because im not asleep- theres no SP yet. Then about 20 seconds later again just imagining myself walking i trip apparently and right before when in the air or whatever my whole body like braces for impact in a single giant muscle spasm even though im simply imagining it…
It’s normal. It happened to me too quite a lot. You described this pretty well: Your body shakes brutally when something happens in one of your “semi-dreams”, something like falling mostly.
I said “it happened” to me, because since like last year I don’t get these anymore. They usually happen when you are mentally tired, rather than physically tired. Which is also very logical: your mind is tired and goes into REM pretty quickly, while the body still is “fresh” and acts out the mind. This also explain why you feel constantly tired in your LDs. [Mention: Bleant, taking pills work (mmm… ) mostly when there’s nothing wrong with the physical body. Once he is tired IRL he can take all the pills he want in his LD’s he’s still gonna be tired. That’s my opinion.]
I guess these body acting-outs don’t happen anymore for me, since I had a really busy year (and still do), which exhausted my body. I’m kind of the opposite to
you, but I’ve been there.
It’s best to have them both equally tired when going to sleep: the body and the mind. Things which mentally exhaust you are: bright lights, computer or any other light generator (- you can’t really exhaust your brain by doing math exercises ). I guess you can think of stuff which makes the body tired: sport mostly (or running to work and to appointments - if they are really many of them, they count to… ).
Metal fatigue cause headaches and you can’t just go to sleep and get rid of it, just like you would do when you are bodily tired. It’s also not normal and is the result of way to much of something (hard stress for example).
I hope all that info helped you and now you have a clear vision of your current status. I hope you succeed in managing to have a good night sleep and wish you good luck !
He is saying he is tired inside the dream, outside too, but he feels tired IN the dream: “Tired in LD”. As far as I know, the physical body doesn’t affect the dreams a lot, I can be hella tired, but I will have normal dreams, if not better ones.
