What kind of dream was this?

Beyond Dreaming

I went to sleep at about 1AM doing after about 15 minutes of MILD (I can’t fall asleep while chanting), then I had this ‘dream’ about two hours later.

Basically I woke up I sat up in bed, and my left arm felt weird so I looked at it…It was all crooked and bent, like someone had broken my arm in the opposite way. It was also semi transculent, and when I touched it, I got the pins and needles feeling. I was terrified, and I knew it was a dream, so I tried a reality check, triyng to push my right hand fingers through the left hand…to be honest I don’t remember how it went, in my DJ i had noted down that it had failed, but I have a vague memory of them going partway through my left hand. I tried imagining myself floating up to the ceiling but it didn’t work, then the arm started flickering and faded.
My memory is pretty hazy, but I remember after the arm was gone I was sitting in my bed, in the position I was in the dream…It just seemed weird to me that I’d wake up in the same position. I have no idea if this was an FA or what it was, anyone ever had anything like this before?
:bored: I really hope I’m not having hallucinations or anything…

It looks like FA. Note that they can seem as very real. That’s why it’s hard to realize what is FA and what’s not.

Maybe you moved in sitting position just before the dream, it’s not uncommon to change unconsciously position between dreams or sleeping cycles. It is a little bit weird how you had the same dream position as waking… But who know. Maybe it was hallucination. Well, know I didn’t answer your question but left you with some more :smile:, not my attention, trust me! :content:

As to what kind of a dream it was, it was lucid, if course, although with low-level lucidity.

I don’t see waking up in the same position as anything unusual: you went in that dream position only because you were in it in waking life. You could relate that to masturbating IRL after you masturbate in a dream, or more accurate, peeing in the dream after you pee IRL, so it’s just the mind’s reaction to what’s really happening.
