People Tell Me I'm Dreaming. (i'm New!)

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I have always been very very interested in lucid dreams.

When I was very young, around 4-8 years old, i would have the same dream all the time, but it was just me looking around my room. Everything I saw, the normally large things were tiny, and the normally small things were huge. It was such a scary dream to me, only because everything looked so weird. I had this dream so many times (25+), and it has always been the same. I also knew that I was dreaming in these. Weird.

A few years ago, I had an LD via DILD. I had a party at my house, but it got out of control, so I was like "I don't want to be here anymore!" and a friend at the party said "Just wake up, it's only a dream." So I did. But it was a false awakening

. I thought that dream was one of the weirdest, because someone TOLD me that I was dreaming.

Now I have started to try to lucid dream again, and I had two so far. The first one I don't remember that well, but I realized that I was dreaming and I just got so excited that I immediately woke up.

The second, which I had two nights ago, was longer than the last. I distinctly remember looking at a blond haired person, short in length, blue eyes. I couldn't remember if the person was a male or female (weird), but they said to me "You do know this is a dream, right?" and I thought to myself "Oh wow, I am dreaming! I better not get too excited, it's only a dream!" and i think I tried to spin, but my dream changed after that and I lost it. I didn't wake up, though.

Is that weird that people tell me I'm dreaming, or is it just luck? haha?

Edit: Also, in 7th and 8th grades, I used to keep a dream journal in an *NSYNC (LOL) notebook, and to this day, I can remember the dreams that I wrote in it. I remember them with the most vivid memory, to this day. Plot and all. haha. (6 years ago?). I still remember a lot of other dreams I had without writing them down, years old.

Edit 2: I also used to have to listen to a hypnosis tape before I went to bed to lose weight (per order of my parents haha) and what I had to do was very similar to the SUNEYE technique, where you concentrate on your "third eye", but that was only for a moment. Then we had to stop feeling our limbs. It is great that most of the techniques require this, because I can do it on command when I can't sleep (insomnia, i can't shut off my brain

) But that's usually the best way I have had very vivid dreams. (How I got the 2 recent DILDS)

Hi Alisha welcome to DV's

That's pretty cool that you have dream characters telling you you're dreaming. I've had this happen to me only a couple of times in my life very ealry in my life when I was just a kid but each time I didn't adhear to the message. Usually when I'm in an LD I tell my characters they are are just dream models and they deny it everytime which is hilarious to me. I don't think it's luck I think you have something pretty special there, you don't need to do Reality checks because you have a sure thing when you communicate with your characters. I don't find it weird however if it's the same character telling you everytime then it would definately take some kind of investigating on this character because there would be something obviously special about he/she. Good luck C-ya around.

Oh wow, I didn't think it was quite that important, thanks! Haha, the characters in my dreams usually only appear to tell me that I'm dreaming, and no other reason, really. I just end up seeing them and they tell me I'm dreaming. It's cool.

I love your avatar too! go firefox!

Welcome to Dreamviews Alisha!

Seems that you've already got a bit of experience, which will definatly help and make it easier to build up a stronger lucid ability

How often are you told by your dream characters that your dreaming? You should learn to recognize this sign everytime it happens

Good Luck, and Happy Dreaming!

When I am told, I always realize that I am dreaming. It only has happened on those two occasions, although they are years apart from when they occurred, they were both LDs, thankfully.

In that case, you'll definatly want to work on Reality Checking and other such things to help you have Lucid's more often. Why only have them once a year when you can have them once every few days

well, the good thing is that I just started "trying" to have lucids about a week ago, and I already had two. Even if they are just fleeting moments of knowing, I know that I can get farther

Usually I never have options in my dreams, so it's kind of hard for me to do RC's. I think that's probally why people tell me I'm dreaming, because I kind of make it a movie (normal dreams). I just discovered this while replying, so thank you for making me reply
