Thread: Some questions about some of my short lucid dreams this morning

Yeah, I am thinking of making that a habit.
The biggest problem is that sometimes those False Awakenings feel so realistic that I just assume that it must obviously be a real awakening, etc.
But then again, those False Awakenings have turned out to be amazingly realistic, so why not?

It seems like every time I firmly decide to test if it might be a dream, it is indeed a dream.
I can always tell that from the way I move out of bed, it's this slower and more "floating" quality to it.

Also, one slight annoyance about these dreams is that they have a tendency to end very quickly, like in 2-3 minutes or something like that.
I am not really discouraged though, because there have been moments when I have managed to stay in them for a reasonably long time, perhaps 10 minutes.
I don't know what I did right in that dream, but basically it was much more vivid from the beginning (pretty much 100% crisp and clear, although I could temporarily only see with my left eye for some reason, and the upper part of that eye was covered by some mysterious darkness) but I was really amazed when I got full vision again, like "wow, goddamn, I have perfect vision in a vivid dream!"), and I somehow managed to anchor myself in that dream so well that I could walk around and explore without constantly having this feeling that the dream was about to collapse at any moment.

Maybe I can incubate these dreams, and vividly imagine myself waking up.
That should technically lead to a lot more dreams like this, hopefully during a long REM period.
