Thread: Is LDing clear like real life?

A friend of mine sees LD's as clear as in real life, though he didn't know that he was LDing all the time untill I told him that there is a thing like that.

It depends, the clarity of LD vary greatly, somtimes they will seem as real as waking, sometimes not so much, sometimes it will seem like a memory of something distant, etc, etc.

The dream may be vivid and clear, but your memory of it can be hazy or choppy. This is probably what is happening with your dreams. As people work on improving their recall, they often report their dreams becoming more realistic and vivid.

Just like regular dreams, Lucid dreams can be anywhere from hazy and disorienting to extremely clear and lifelike. The difference is, in lucid dreams, you can judge the dreams clarity as it is happening. After you wake up, the memory of the dream may still have faded, but you can remember whether or not it seemed clear at the time.

Yep. I'm starting to recall dreams better and I dream at least once or twice a night. But they are still very distant like a distant memory.

I hoping with better recall I will remember the dreams as more vivid.

Good luck, try a waking life journal if you dont have one.

They can be clear or murky. I've had them so real I felt like I truly was living inside it, it was one of my favourite experiences of all.

Once your recall improves, your dreams will start to seem more real. My most vivid dreams are in the morning, after I've slept for at least 5 to 6 hours.

while some are fuzzy or strange, there is nothing like a clear, vivid lucid dream where everything looks hyper-real and you can examine each blade of grass and line on your palms....

They are as real as reality. Once I had a dream more real than reality itself. You think it's impossible until you get one. Your senses are overpowered, you can see every detail of the suuroundings, you can feel the moving air (a little like echolocation), you can hear your blood flowing in veins and you can't do anything unreal (all reality check show it's a reality) and your brain works like very well and clear.

Reaching such a dream is possible using a deepification methods... well, i naven't seen any on this website. You see, i read about them in the book of the Russian dreamer Mikhail Raduga (Михаил Радуга). He concentrates on WILDS, especially the ones after waking up in night, but that's not the point. His main destination is to make the drems top-realistic and top-long.

i have read Raduga's book "School of out of body travel" he is focused on "the phase" which apparently is something like a hyper-real OBE. it was a good book with many interesting techniques, and it does focus on OBE's as you are waking up, instead of as you are falling asleep, so its a bit different.

2/3 of my LDs are extremely realistic...no way of mistaking them for average dreams. Furthermore, if the dream starts off hazy or dreamlike, once I become lucid, they immediately become real - environments "solidify"

Perhaps it's just my dream recall is crap and when you're REALLY dreaming it feels like real life?

When I become lucid, everything becomes more clear. When I'm viewing my surroundings, I notice that everything looks more detailed and more REAL.. than in the view of the waking world. I hope you too see this for yourself, I'm positive you will actually. My only theory could be, is this one..
Your memory of all the imagery you have seen is inside your brain. So when you become lucid, somehow those images are perfectly reflected from inside you without actually having to use your eyes. In general, you're not really looking through a "window" which is your "eyes." You are looking inside yourself with no distortion.
