Thread: Aware in real life, but not in dreams.

Hey Iriba, what do you mean by your "dreams just feel so normal"?
I guess everyone's different, but I have a whole range of vividness in my regular dreams, from very hazy and vague to very vivid.
But that just doesn't compare to the few lucids I have had - they have been so shockingly realistic it's like night and day! It's a bit like the difference in a regular dream where it's like looking at the world through a sheet or screen, where even the vivid dreams are a bit hazy and non-descript, whereas the lucids are like super-bright colourful real life.

Perhaps you just haven't actually yet experienced a proper lucid - at least not with any clarity?

However, if you have felt wind on your face that is a good sign I think. Any stimulus outside of the visual is good.

What induction techniques have you tried?
