a couple nights ago i had severel dreams, the breaking of my dry spell,
well in one of them there was a faceless beautiful naked women, and since i do have a wonderful girlfriend i realized that i was dreaming, became lucid and i was like HEY NOW! (cause i like staying 'true' to my girl in this reality as well as that one) and i let the dream fade.

well anyway, i dream(ed) that i woke up and wrote it down, and then i had another dream and i woke up and looked at my journal...and i was like WOAH i thought i wrote my dream down...but i didnt...so am i dreaming now or not!!!

ahhhhh, so i now know how everyone feels who happens to experiece this feeling...

cheers
open up my eyes, flooded with day light, another sleepless night turns color black and white.[/b]

Tricky isnt it, imagine it 10 times in a row , and while being lucid..it gets confusing..especially when you are being bugged by certain things..

Yeh, happened to me the other night, but then if I *do* wake up and write something down, I`m usually half asleep and it doesn`t make sense in the morning :doh:

it is an amusing experience, the only variation i can report is false awakening and reaching for my digital recorder, as this is my chosen method of dream journalling, only to find no recordings in the morning. :)

I had a false awakening the day before christmas. I imagined the present I wanted sat just in front of me, all unwrapped ready for messing about with. The second I reached for it, it disappeared.

I hadn't read into lucid dreaming when this happened, so my first reaction was "WTF?" and "Woah, that sucks".

Yep, my first false awakening was just like that - I woke up and started to write on the tablecloth. And suddenly it hits me - this table dont have a table cloth on it and this second I jump up from the bed!

Its not that its bad or good, but VERY confusing, and it messes with your mind, so you wonder...am i dreaming, or awake, or what??!?!! ahhhh...thats how it is.


To resist is to piss in the wind.
Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Knowing this, why do I defy? Because my inner voice is yelling.

False awakenings are awesome.

I had my first false awakening a couple nights ago too. I dreamt that I was dreaming that I had a lucid dream, but I never became lucid :o

I gotta agree with Sesquipedalian Dreams. False awakenings are awsome. I don't get them alot but I did have one last night after a non LD. In the non LD I was talking to this attractive girl when suddenly I woke up after hearing a modem's handshake. So I hurried out of bed and went to my parent's room (funny thing is I don't live at home anymore so I was back in my old bedroom where their computer is now) and asked my Dad how often that happens. He told me it happened all the time and when I try to tell him what was happening my speech started to slow to the point I had trouble forming words. As I tried harder to talk I then realized I was dreaming! I stopped trying to speak because if I continued I'd end up yelling out in my sleep. So I breathed deep a couple of times and waited for things to settle and I could talk normally. Then as I stood there I couldn't help think, "Man! Why couldn't I have been lucid for that last dream!" :)

I never have liked my false awakenings.... they have always been very scary for me.
