Yesterday afternoon, I watched the movie "Waking Life". The main character uses his watch to tell if he's dreaming, so I thought I could try and do the same. I always wear an analog watch and I spent the afternoon checking it for any clue that I was dreaming. Unlike all the other reality checks I've done, this one tranferred into my dreams on the same night. Only it was weird because all of the analog clocks I checked in the dream behaved normally, so I didn't become lucid. I'll put a lot of emphasis on the timing, since it was impressingly accurate. Well, here goes the dream. I was in my Genetics class, last period before lunch, and it was almost time to finish. I glanced at my watch to see it was 1.55 pm. Now, since I live a while away from my University, I need to get the underground and then the train to get home, and because I only have a train every hour, I go out of the class a few minutes before 2 o'clock. It was 2 pm when the class finished. I knew I had to run if I wanted to make it to the train, so I hurried. Once on the underground, I got off a couple of stops before mine, assuming I had time to go to a swimming pool there was very near. I don't know why. When I got into the pool, I checked another clock, another analog one that was hanging on a wall, and found it was 2.15 pm (the train is due at 2.18). Freaking out, I looked for another clock, and in this second one it was 2.10. I assumed the former was wrong, calmed myself down and told myself I still had time (it would've been impossible to make it to the train either way, but we all know how dreams work). I also thought if I was to lose the train, I would spend an hour in the pool waiting for the next one. I came out of the pool soon afterwards and the dream finished. I woke up at about 5.30 am. I've got used to waking at this time, whether or not I have to go to class. I wrote down my dream (so, it wasn't a false awakening) and then went back to sleep telling myself "next time I'm dreaming, I'm going to realise I am dreaming". Next thing I know, I'm startled by my sister's alarm clock. We share a room, I'm a light sleeper but it takes her forever to wake up, so when her alarm goes off, I'm always startled. After waking, I lied back and tried to remember the last dream. I only have a vague memory of being spinning around in an attempt to stabilise the dream, as if I had been lucid. But nothing else. I only have one question: do analog clocks behave normally in dreams and so RCs can only be done with digital ones?
DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID So, in my dream I wake up. It was still dark out, and it looked the same that my room IRL does, except for my alarm clock ...It was so weird. I picked it up, and it was like it was talking to me! It had words slide across it's now large screen-a different part then the time. It was like it was against me! I saw one word on it was my name! It said that no matter what I couldn't do SOMETHING. Well, I decided that this sounded rediculous, and that I might be in a dream. I don't normally RC, but on rare ocasion, I will if I ask myself if it's a dream if I'm not 100% sure. I try to stick my finger through my hand, it didn't work. I was still too convinced! I decided to check by getting out of my bed and floating/flying to the cieling. If it doesn't work, no harm done, right? Well, it does work and now I'm lucid. I wanted to hop into sims so I could be in simmy land . I jumped in it turned off, thinking I'd be in sims. BUT NO! I end up jumping basically right where I jumped in. I turned it on, thinking that it would take less time then IRL. The windows screen popped by fast. I didn't see the log in screen. Instead when it was done, it was on this random game I've never played before...Then I closed that, to click on SIMS! I didn't see it there. I only saw sims castaway stories, and I woke up .
