Thread: First False Awakening

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..

yeah, it sucks writing something down then having it disapper. happens all the time to me in waking life

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

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.

freaky will describe it for now...or rather confusing.

Its only after you’ve lost everything that your free to do anything[/b]

hrmm ya...most my dreams start with a false awakening, which makes it extra tricky >.<

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".

HAHA! i would just say Santa doesnt like you anymore!

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!

Haven't got a lump of coal just yet, though I'm probably close

hmmm, I have yet to experience this false awakening thing....

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.

Also, nice quote star wars guy, Ayn Rand books are great

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

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.
