    Suspecting Reality and Dreams

    by , 08-19-2014 at 03:43 PM (577 Views)
    I have been trying to train myself (while awake) to periodically suspect that I might be dreaming, in hopes that the habit will carry over to my dreams, via:
    • Closing my mouth and nose and seeing if I can still breathe.
    • Inspecting the world around me, seeing if anything appears amiss.
    • Attempting to float, or conjure up imagery, or change the scenery around me.


    In my dream last night, I realized something was off with the world as I was climbing down a tree. When I let go of a branch, I fell down to the ground slowly, as if I were a feather. It seemed rather suspicious, but I was busy trying to avoid being caught so I quickly put it out of my mind.

    Normally, when strange things like this happen in a dream, I think nothing of it. But this is the second time recently that I suspected that the laws of the universe were not what they should be. Perhaps I'm creeping my way closer to a DILD. Perhaps.

      when i was younger i could pause my dreams wake up go pee and come back and press resume and it would continue from right where i left it. hell i could even tell myself what i wanted to dream about and when i went to bed it would be just like i planned. this is where i often wish i had better and more discerning parents because they would have listened to me and not chase me away to do chores. what i find now is that music acts as a kind of catalyst for me, allowing me to become awake in the dream and having control over it. i also learned that when your facing restrictions in your dreams its often because your restricted in reality. meaning if your laying on your hands in reality they get restricted in the dream where you cant take or give anything to anyone.
