Somebody is touching my shoulder and says “hey!”. I try to turn around but the man keeps moving and stays behind me. So I think I’ll trick him and turn my eyes from the outside to the inside and see through the back of my skull. I do it. I see an unknown guy tapping on my shoulder and I think “meh, that’s nobody”.
Then I turn my eyes from inside out to their normal orientation and resume my previous activities.
Where it gets weird is that later on, I go to a remote part of my city and notice a small roundabout in place of a regular intersection and that made me realize I was dreaming!
I had a nightmare with a haunted house (it’s the one I had years ago, this is my most recurring nightmare dreamscape)… The house inside was very dark, creepy and heard strange sounds (maybe ghosts?)
hahaha mine was REALLY bad how i didnt notice anything. Well so i was just in my room and i had a huge bag of what are those things called… sweetharts or whatever… Theyre the little candies you get at valentines with the notes on them like “i love you” etc… Well so i pulled one out and it read, “YOU ARE DREAMING” Yep thats normal!!! Why bother to do a REALITY CHECK!!! gosh!!! i cant believe i didnt do aanything. instead in the dream i was like hey!! thats so cool! maybe if i eat this before i go to bed tonight ill become lucid!!! huuuh… My dream logic…
a week ago I had a dream where I was telling some dude about lucid dreaming (different techniques; how great it feels to become lucid etc). he had 6 fingers on one of his hands and I didn’t find it weird at all. then I held HIS nose to demonstrate how reality checks work. When I woke up I felt a bit disappointed
I’m doing something wrong for sure…
Almost every night I have a dream where the setting is in my old high school or elementary school. Even the other night, in a dream I was at my locker and tried the combination, but then thought, “Oh yeah I haven’t been in school for a while, I forgot my combination, I should probably go to the office.”
I did about 20-30 RCs in a dream this morning about it being morning and going out to the kitchen to eat or get ready or something. I did all those RCs and still couldn’t believe that I was dreaming. And yes, they all worked.
Two days ago I heard my sisters talking with my aunt from america outside my room and since I knew that wasn’t possible I rc’d. I saw my hands, they were normal. I pinched my nose, I couldn’t breathe. I tried to summon my dream guide, they didn’t appear so I decided I really was awake and decided to go back to sleep. And then… I woke up.
a couple of days ago, I had a dream with an awkward public bathroom situation, which is quite a common DS for me, so I did a RC - Counted my fingers with the result of ten fingers on my left hand…
" Seems like I’m dreaming… Oh wait, I was just holding a hand of a plastic mannequin! suddenly there was this plastic hand haha I’m so silly!"
however, I did a couple of other reality checks, and none of them worked! I even tried hard to remember something else to do as a RC, but I couldn’t so I just continued with the dream.
talk about missed dream signs :l
I wanted to punch myself in the face when I woke up
Aww! Don’t punch yourself in the face, Shinju. /me hugs
I heard that rc’s might not work if you’re just doing them without thought in WL. So I guess when we do them we have to put more belief into the fact that we’re awake at that time, or so.
Wooh wooh wooh Xander. HOLD ON. You know my only goal in life is to get into the bathroom, right?
<- Missed Dreamsign: Rearranging the letters on a keyboard because they were all out of wachk. It was a nightmare trying to. Wth… When you’re trying to rearrange the letters on a keyboard into the correct order, you know you spend too much time in front of one.
Why do I keep doing this to myself? Had two lucid dreams last night from checking the digits on my fingers, and was so flabbergasted, I decided it was impossible I was dreaming; things were just too real.
I don’t know how but I managed to miss the HUGE forest in the middle of the HUGE green clearing as a dream sign. I mean, I had a zoom out “helicopter nature shot” moment, and I -still- missed it. >_<
My classmate was browsing the web on his PC, went to ld4all.com and asked me:
-What is this lucid dreaming thing?
I told him what lucid dreaming is, told him about the forums and what they are for, but I had no idea that I was dreaming.
If only I had told him about RC’s and actually demonstrated him how to do one, I would have noticed I was dreaming.
