I'd say you were dreaming very lightly, and the lucidity realization kicked off some vibrations. Next time it happens, try to relax through the 'zap'... might be on your way to a WILD there. |

Ok so this morning I was dreaming about some war theme (BF2 style) and I was runnin near this body of water and the enemy was near and somehow I died. |
|
I found it hard, its hard to find, oh well, whatever, nevermind.

Hm. Then why did it happen only when I said "Im dreaming"? |

I dont know if your 'zap' is anything like I experience sometimes when I am just entering a dream . I would describe it like a jolt or electric shock as if something just passed through my brain .It makes my body suddenly twitch and wakes me . I dont know what this is does anyone else experience it ? |
|
No, this is the first time Ive experienced it. |

Although this could be just those vibrations beginning, if it's a sudden jolt, then it's probably something called a myoclonic jerk. I used to get those all the time falling asleep in class. My whole desk would jump and I got to be the center of attention for a moment! |

It's always different for everyone, but I find that if I try to WILD with a dream, I'll feel the vibrations right away, like I get kicked out into vibrations, and then I try to keep it going. I just thought this might be similar for you. If I decide I'm dreaming in a pretty deep state, it'll be fine, but if it's just shallow dreaming (like, on the edge of wakefulness), I'll easily get the zap effect. I recently woke up from a nightmare (haven't had one of those in a while hehe) and I could still feel the tingling disappearing. |
|
I dont think it was a myoclonic jerk. I didnt feel it in my body, just inside my dream and in my head, and after I woke up I didnt feel anything either. |

Dear Zoggy, |
|
I see. |

Hey guys about the jolt that goes through your head when you ask yourself "am I dreaming", I get the exact same feeling and would actually like it if it didnt wake me up right before i become lucid. I havnt had and lucid dreams yet but the awaking jolt has happened 2 or 3 times. I think I get too excited |

Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Life isn't a mystery to be solved, but a reality to expierence.
I don't know about you, but I always get jolts in my hands. |

Had an awesome lucid dream this morning, I was confident and the jolt went through me and I remained lucid. |

I think the "jolt" or "electrical current" going through your body when you pass into a lucid dream or wake suddenly could be the feeling of the numbness that your body experiences when you are asleep. Sometimes when I enter a lucid dream I can feel the edge blur between reality and the dream, and I can feel the current (it makes me a little dizzy actually). I find the best way to deal with it is to remain calm and ride it out, as complete control should follow it almost immediately. |
