I hate when I wake up to my wife being amorous only to soon wake up all turned IRL and find that I am actually alone in a hotel room. |

So sometimes false awakenings turns out funny / disappointing / frustrating / mysterious etc. |

I had a strange one. |

I've had alot of false awakenings over this year of my lucid dreaming practice, chains of false awakenings, if i recall up to 8 in a row, and so on, not sure which one would be the most interesting over all, haha, just way too much. |

Been previously known as Checker666
I've had 2 particulary wierd ones and both in the past week. |

One of the worst FA's was when I woke up in the morning and everything seemed fine, everything was very similar to what happens daily. So I thought that I woke up and I did not have a single clue that it might be a dream, I was arguing with my wife and we decided to leave each other, I felt very sad and I thought maybe it is a dream? In real life I would never leave her, so it cant be real. I remember how I was looking for any evidence that it was a dream, was doing reality checks, but during such moments reality checks sometimes fail and make it even worse. I had to recall everything from the moment when I woke up and tried to find any strange moments, I recalled few out of order things and then I woke up again. My wife was somewhere in the kitchen and I went there and hugged her and hard as I could and said I love you. She was not replying to me at all, here I got a sudden idea that it might be 2nd FA and I woke up for real. Went to my wife, she was in the kitchen, I saw her smile and understood that I woke up. Did few reality checks confirmed that I am not sleeping. |

It's sometimes very awkward/weird/cool how emotions are much stronger in dreams. Even after waking up , you feel the emotion you had in dream. When it's sadness , it's just weird and awkward. |

I heard someone in my house upstairs at night, so I went up to take a look, it was really scary. Then I woke up, but was a FA. That happened so many times, at least 8 or 9. I just kept FA-ing. I would go upstairs and realize that something was different (the house layout, etc) so I must be dreaming, and then I'd wake myself up (FA every time, but back in bed, so I'd have to go upstairs to check). I thought I would never wake up! I was really scared. [there was no-one in my house, luckily!] |

I remember once back when I was in school... I forget the exact circumstances, I think I had woken up with my alarm but like an idiot I turned it off and didn't get up out of bed and I accidentally went back to sleep. Suddenly I woke up and realized I was late for school so I was getting ready as fast as I could and jumped in my car and sped off down the road -- then I woke up for real. And I was late, and started getting ready as fast as I could, etc. It was almost like the panic of being late in the dream is what actually woke me up. lol |

Why do some people have frequent/vivid/lucid dreams while others don't? |

Sleep on your right side or on your Back and Make nightmares a thing of the Past.
On your side. Sleeping laterally is the most common sleep position. Studies have found that right-side sleepers experienced more positive dreams and fewer nightmares than left-side sleepers
I think whether some people realize it or not, they learned how to do it at a young age. The age you learn it at certainly has a large impact. Also, by "learn" I don't necessarily mean they taught themselves (even if they didn't know there was a name for it). I honestly believe a child could just get a lucid dream by random chance and the strange effects of having an undeveloped brain, coupled with very few previous experiences, having a totally open mind/being accepting of things, and the significantly heightened neuroplasticity/the ability to learn things very quickly without the need to think about what it is you're learning could allow for the almost natural ability to learn how to do it without intending to whatsoever. |

Well, like I said, my dreams happen to be bizarre and nonsensical in nature most of the time. Things like that are a common occurrence. Sometimes I have more lucid dreams (not in the sense you know you're dreaming, but you're generally more aware and capable of high levels of thought and judgment, as though you were awake), but they're pretty rare. My friend says mundane, realistic dreams are all he has though, where he's convinced in the dream he's experiencing reality. For me, it's much more like being in a state of dream-induced delirium. I get lots of false memories (sometimes surprisingly deep, not just a simple backstory for the setting and people), and random and sudden transitions to new scenes that sometimes are accompanied by a false memory of what happened during the in-between time of the transition (like, if I was suddenly in a new scene, I'd remember how I got there without it ever actually happening, it can make dreams seem significantly longer than the dream itself actually was--especially because, at times, the memories for the between time can span a few days). Other times, there are no false memories and the transitions simply go unnoticed until I wake up. |
