      Cool Trouble "waking up" fully

      Hello! I'm still new and have been looking for a similar thread but didn't have the energy to rifle through all of the old posts...if there is a post about this subject feel free to link and we can close this discussion.

      A little back-story:

      I've always had what I called "strange dreams" from as early as I can remember. If I wasn't having these dreams then I didn't dream. It has only been the random day nap that I have had (and recall) more typical dreams like a falling dream or being late for school and not having pants on etc. It has only been recently that I have had a desire to gain better control and understanding over what is happening to me.

      Ok so here is my question...

      I believe I am having LDs but I am not 100% certain. Some times I will wake up long enough to empty my bladder and then can usually go back to the same place or 'world'. My problem though is waking up in the morning. It can sometimes take me the better part of the day to fully sort out where I am. Some mornings I wake up and the hour after getting out of bed I am emotionally convinced that my home/husband/dog are all apart of a dream world and that I need to get back to the "real world" that I was just in. Even if I had powers there that I consciously know are not possible here and can even be aware in the dream that I am dreaming, when I wake up I am still convinced that I need to "go back to the real world".

      So, is this just a side effect of dreaming like this naturally and not having good control? Am I not even LDing and maybe have some sort of sleep disorder? Is there a third option that I am just not seeing because I am too close to the problem?

      For years I thought it was due to a strong medication that I was on for about 15 years. It has now been 4 years since going off the med and honestly my issues with dreaming and feeling grounded the next morning are getting worse.

      Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! TIA

      I am somewhat confused. Are you saying that in real life you are convinced your home/husband/dog are all apart of a dream world or that you belive that in a dream?

      To clarify, I am talking about after waking up in real life. Logically, I know this is real life because I have done enough self-exploration to understand where I am. Yet, emotionally and mentally I cannot shake the feeling of still dreaming. I am not on any medications, I do not use drugs, I have had this feeling checked out by doctors and a therapist but they all say there is nothing wrong with me to be feeling this way. It only happens on the night where I am having LDs, the next morning and part of the day is foggy and I feel like I am floating still.

      Do a reality check every time you wake up so you can distinguish reality from false awakenings.

      That has been my go-to for years but seems to have no real change. It is enough for me to mentally get that I am here in the real world but things are still fuzzy/floaty feeling
