Thread: Problems again...

Well lately I haven't been able to become lucid. Thing is I can't realize I'm dreaming 'cause everything is TOO real. For instance, in one of my dreams I was chatting... no blurry screen, no blurry letters, nothing. In another I was in my car and I turned on the headlights and they worked. I know you can't change light levels in the room you are in, but can you do that??? Another one is that I have been able to run... no running in water feeling. Its frustrating!!!!

well, you could carry around a watch with you that chimes every hour, and perform reality checks everytime you hear it chime. hopefully, if you hear it while sleeping, you'll perform a reality check and notice you're dreaming. you say everything appears too real thus you cannot determine that you are dreaming; if you were to be reminded to perform a reality check while dreaming, you could likely do something or notice something that otherwise would not be possible in the waking world.

Abre los Ojos.

Man if only it were that simple... Yesterday I did become lucid for about a second then I had a false awakening in which I wasn't lucid... I've tried the watch thing before, but I am a really heavy sleeper, sometimes even my alarm won't wake me up, even at max volume.

Again, I highly prefer Abre los Ojos over Vanilla Sky.

no, i wasn't refering to the movie
i was talking directly to you.
