    Possible FA and Fragment

    by , 12-20-2014 at 06:01 AM (539 Views)
    Tried the WBTB technique for the first time. Went to bed at about 11:00pm and naturally woke at 5:12am, I stayed up for about 20 mintutes and had a little bit of trouble falling back to sleep. I don't remember any dreams from before I woke at 5:12am but I had 4 dreams between my WBTB and actually getting up. I woke up and recorded the most vivid dream before the others, after I had finished I had completely forgotten two and had one fragment.

    Dream 1:
    I 'woke up' and got out of bed to find my dad trying to feed the two dogs. I thought I might not actually be awake because he couldn't see me but quickly dissmissed that idea when he turned around and handed me a tub full of pizza and what looked like thin strips of meat with a black streak in the middle. I poured most of it into the food bowl and found that the dogs attacked it ravenously to my even greater surprise I looked closer at the 'meat' and found that it was actually sour lollie strips with licorice in the middle. I looked at it closely for a second before coming to the conclusion that it was leftovers from the night before. My dad told me to empty the tub completely so the dogs could eat, I did what I was told and became worried that the dogs would become fat. The scene changed and I was in the car on the freeway, I looked out the front of the car and noticed one of the dogs running in front of us (we were going 100+ kilometers, that dog must have been booking it!) I freaked out and my dad swerved the car before I woke up.

    Fragment:
    All I remember is showing up to a restaurant with most of my family after a fairly long drive. It seemed like a security gaurd didn't want us to go in so I tried to sneak in through the back.

    I'm not too sure if the first dream was an FA. I read about it and it said a vivid dream where you go about your normal day. 'Waking up' and feeding the dogs pizza and lollies isn't my definition of normal. But it seemed like the WBTB caused a more vivid dream, I'll continue to experiment with the time that I stay up because I seemed to lose the sleepy feeling quite quickly with 20 minutes.

      Yeah that definitely sounds like a FA.
      But false awakenings can also occur when you were lucid and you thought that you had woken up from the dream, only to find out later that you were actually still dreaming.
      I think that your idea to continue experimenting with the length of time that you stay up is really smart. I also think that you have a really great and positive attitude and that will help you a lot in becoming great a lucid dreaming. It is quite nice to see.
      I'm really excited to see how you progress on your 'lucid journey'.

      That's pretty cool, I've never had an FA before so it was a really interesting feeling. I would definitely say that it was more vivid than my other dreams and again, towards the end I felt like it was even more vivd than before so I think the next time I have the chance I should give DEILD a try. I'll probably try to stay awake for a smaller amount of time to see if I can get that sweet spot between wakefulness and sleep. I actually wasn't giving WBTB much thought before I listened to a dreamviews podcast on this particular technique, hopefully the longer I attempt this the better I'll get . I actually credit a lot of my attitude to you and ~ Dreamer ~, I had my first lucid dream and decided to post it for fun and you two really got me excited to have another one
