Thread: Waking up after every dream.

Yeah that is pretty normal. You can use it to your advantage by trying to stay still and not opening your eyes and attempting a DEILD which will have a very good chance of working.

Cool. I'll look into DEILD.

DEILDs are fun. The first time I tried it was when I woke up exceedingly early one morning (5 AM), so all I did was close my eyes and imagine the last thing I saw in my lucid dream. I was so tired it just "formed" around me and I was back in it just as lucid as before.

Are you tired throughout the day, even if you get plenty of sleep? Has anything new happened in your life- extra stress, extra joy, a common cold?
I often have several very vivid dreams every night and I wake up exhausted. I used to joke and say my dreams are too realistic and energetic for me to get any rest... but I had a sleep study done and discovered I have mild RLS and mild sleep apnea (which is strange to me because they only caught a couple snores, I'm at a stereotypically perfect weight and I was sleeping on my side for the study).
If it gets worse or starts to interfer with your daily life and activities, you should see a doctor just to make sure everything's okay.

I never could WILD or DEILD. When I'm sleepy, there's NO rousing me. If I have to go to the bathroom or something, I go then crash the second I lay back down lol. I call my sleep "hybernation mode"
