So I stumbled upon this site and have read around and I think I've been able to realize I'm in a dream. Pretty cool stuff.

However, usually the way I realize it is different from what others seem to write about and it's actually kind of annoying and gets stressful...

I'll be (in a dream) having a conversation with someone and it'll be going fine but after a point I realize that I'm the only deciding what it is that person is saying. Once I realize this it becomes frustrating. It's difficult to explain exactly what it is that goes through my head but it's basically something like this:

  • be conversing with someone
  • realize I have control
  • want to continue conversation
  • want the person to ask me a question
  • realize I have to basically ask myself a question
  • but I'm focused more on myself in the dream and listening to the other person
  • my attention gets shifted from listening to making words come out of other person's mouth
  • in the end words do come out of the other person but I don't think they make a coherent sentence


At that point I sort of get bored with the dream since the conversation is ruined because it's as if the person I'm talking to just became completely retarded. It's so frustrating!!

Has anyone experienced something like this before?
