Weird dreams

ever since i started LDing, i have had good dream recall, but stranger dreams. I have had about 5 or 6 ND the last three nights, and acouple of them seemed like was was really awake IRL in them. Not IRL like being in a LD, a different one. For example today i woke up really tired, and then i just sat there and after a while i just started dreaming, and it was a dream where i met Elliott smith which was a dream i have always wanted. But throughout the dream at certains times i saw what i was looking at before i started Dreaming (when i was awake), so it was like dreaming with my eyes open. Im sorry if im confusing you but heres another example.
If any of you havn’t seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, there is a scene where Jim Carrey tries to wake up by widening his eyes open, and his eyes really did open on his body IRL, and everything he was looking at IRL was blurry, it was like that happening in a ND (only i wasn’t trying to wake up or opening my eyes more with my fingers).
If that was confusing to anyone, tell me and i will try to explain it more.
Also about the weird ND, i have been having dreams the past few days that are things that i have been planning, like me and my friend are going downtown in the future, and i had dreams about that. Mainly the dreams im having are things i have planned but havent happened yet.

If anyone thinks these are confusing i will explain it better, but if you did understand my bad writing (lol) then is this normal? Or is it a sign of a better chance of becoming lucid?

Also when i was trying to get to sleep lastnight i was repeating “I will dream and i will relise im dreaming”, and i as i repeated that i started feeling like i was in a dream repeating that, i didnt feel like i was in reality. Then i gulped and i was just back where i was, laying in bed repeating those things. What was i doing? I felt like i was entering the dream world tho, but i was still awake.

Hmm well your post seems to make pretty good sense to me. When practicing Lucid Dreaming, your mind has taken a whole new journey of enlightment. And dreams can definately get more interesting and you continue to practice LDing. Sure happened to me. And I have seen Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, GREAT movie btw, and yes, because you were influenced with that experience, you experienced it as well. Meh, go figure. Sometimes at random we can have dreams about the future, they can be caused by thinking about these events alot throughout the day, or maybe not. (Maybe I’m the most unkowledgable person on LD4all) And when you were reapeating to yourself, what could have been happening was HH, where you weren’t quite asleep, and you weren’t quite awake, and a single physical movement could snap you out of it.

Thank you very much, that explained alot to me! And Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is one of my favorite movies, lol

Oh my gosh it’s one of my favorite movies also. It confuses you. I love those psychological movies :content:

You shoulg see “Spellbound” by Alfred Hitchcock, great movie.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind and Donnie Darko are my favorite movies!

Man Donnie Darko, the Jacket, and them all, very good movies that will mess with your head :cool_laugh:.

But ever since people started saying my brother looked like Donnie Darko, I stopped having a crush on him…

:cool_laugh: LOL. I forgot to mention the Jacket, that is also my favorite movie. I will make sure i check out Spellbound.
