      Pinched Myself in a Dream...

      i cant believe this happened. during a dream i actually thought "this might be a dream" so i pinched myself. i dont remember if it hurt or not, but i must have decided that it was real life. i woke up like "FUCK!"

      You might not of become lucid because pinching yourself as I've been told before on this forum is not at all an effective RC. Apparently in dreams you can feel some amount of pain.

      Contrary to popular belief, pinching yourself does not work as an RC in the slightest because you DO feel pain in dreams(if you are expecting it, at least)

      If you want some good reality checks, check out the reality checks tutorial

      Haha, ya, definatly feel pain in dreams.

      You'll sometimes do random nonsense RC's besides the ones you practice.

      Once in my dreams I decided to see if i was dreaming by pulling my hair. When I reached for it i had no hair, so I just went on with the dream lol.

      Pain is like a high-temperature excruciating tingling for me. Pins and needles, indeed.

      I pick up a half-eaten copy of a book by Neil Gaiman, and decide this is all his fault.

      Pinching yourself to check if you are dreaming is probably one of the most common modern myths. Whoever came up with it obviously didn't know much about dreaming.
