weird 'clock' reality check

[Beardo]

i was sleepin 1 nite and i felt a bit weird so i did the clock RC
i hav a digital watch and instead of it sayin somethin like
_ _ _ _
_| | | . | | | |
|_ |_| . |_| |_| which would b 8 pm

it just said somethin like this:
| | |_| . _ _|
|_| | | . |_| _| totally random

Yes, yes it is(but check it more than once just in case)

btw, your clock was probably on crack. That's the only explanation.

well i guess what i ment was that either you were really dreaming, something was wrong with your clock(somehow, i dont know), or you eyes are playing tricks on you.

I recommend you watch the animated movie "Waking Life"... It's all about dreams and the dream world, etc.

While the main character is dreaming, his clock is totally scrambled, basically because time has no meaning inside a dream.

Yeah, this has happened to me. In fact, soon after seeing Waking Life, looking at my watch to see a similar warped digital image as yours, i triggered one of my few ever LDs. I similarly strongly recommend waking life, not just for its insights on lucidity, but simply as a good film. As one of the characters in that film explains, "fine print... very unstable man". The dream-realm's inablity to muster up fine print details in combination with our alterered-conscious state's natural nonsensical projection of time makes digital watches, clock, etc. very effective LD-triggers.

I personally don't seem to have any trouble looking at clocks. The time seems to remain constant, whether I'm dreaming or not. It doesn't pass properly, though. I listened to one of my friends talk for what seemed like two minutes, but it was a half hour according to my clock. I've just begun to realize that this is a dream sign.

ya, last night, i read a clock that said it was 14 something... i just thought it was switched to military time :P
