Hi people, |
|
Whenever I lose my LD, it usually has something to do with my eyes. Closing, blinking or focusing on my dream eyes in a LD, etc and I either wake up in real life or I end up in a false awakening. |
|
So waking up from an LD differs from person to person? I.E. I get a rumbling sound in the distance and you focus on your dream eyes? |
|
Wow, you are lucky, that you can tell your dream is about to end. i never get that kind of warning. |
|
I have become VERY familiar with what happens to me when I'm loosing a dream, as i have very frequent lucids but can never retain them long. I know I'm doomed when i can't help but think when the dream is going to end, and then i suddenly switch to third person and everything becomes blurry very quickly. Lucky for me though, i tend to always wake up from a lucid with my eyes closed and not moving, so i should be able to do a DEILD. |
|
Well, as I have only had 3 LD's and everytime I hear that rumble, shortly after I begin waking up... I'm not sure if it's coincidence or it really is a "dream sign". |
|
I always start feeling two bodies. I feel what I am doing in the dream, and I feel how I am laying in bed. If that happens I used to just stop whatever it was I was doing and do something else, but then I heard about stabilization, and have given myself a few extra minutes that way. |
|
Never heard of anyone getting a rumbling sound before. |
|
I've never heard rumbling but often if I close my eyes when lucid I have trouble prying them back open. I struggle against the blackness and can lose the dream in this way. To combat this I imagine the scene I've just lost and concentrate on materialising it. Sometimes it comes back and I can continue the dream. Whenever I lose lucidity it is through visual haziness or blackness. |
|
I just wake up without a warning. |

Sometimes no matter what I'm doing, everything will just freeze, even me I wont be able to move or anything. And I'll think what the hell why is everything stuck. Then in an instant I have a false awakening and am on my bed all of the sudden. Other times I'll close my eyes and it makes me wake up. Usually I just lose awareness in the dream and go non lucid :p |

It depends on what triggered my attention on the outside world. If it's my over-excitement it's my body which calls my attention. If it's some external noise (family, neighbor, etc) then I start hearing what's going on there. |

I usually either wake up or it fades into a normal dream. |
|
I start to feel myself laying in bed, or my vision fades... it doesn't feel like things going dark as much as it feels like everything i see is becoming transparent. |
|
Most of the time when a dream is ending, I tend to lose my powers slowly (if I have powers in that dream). Or if I don't have powers, I usually feel like my legs are stuck, or everything is slowing down. |

Often when the dream ends it is referred to as entering the Void, usually associated with the sensation of the dream collapsing or going dark, slowing regaining sensory input from your body, which can be distorted for some people. One of my friends wakes up seeing everything slightly bent, I wouldn't be surprised if your brain is just interpreting noise and incorporating it into a dream. |
|
When I lose lucidity, it sometimes becomes colorless or grey. It often becomes pixelated too, just like a shitty video on youtube. |
|
When my LD is going to end, I observe these events: |
|
DILD: 123 ; WILD: 10 ; DEILD: 9
In the small few lucid dreams I've had, I've distinctly remembered a sort of fading away. Like, all sounds grow faint, and a large cloud of fog begins approaching me at a rapid pace. Normally, a feeling of terror coincides with it, like I can feel myself losing consciousness. Of course, I've only had a few small instances of this, but it would be interesting if I could combat it. |
|
I experience this as well, after the rumbling sound I jump forward into my "real" eyes and it feels as though my eyes were never closed and I get a small headache for like a split second... hard to describe (like being awoke from a deep sleep quickly - headache for a split second and then fades). |
|
Everything usually goes blurry for me and I feel like i'm being 'pulled' out of the dream or it just abruptly ends. To combat this, you should stabilize (rub your hands, spin around, etc.). Try and activate each one of your senses also and focus on the objects around you. Good luck! |
|
I experience something kind of similar. Not a rumbling sound sound or a sound at all, but more of a buzzing/humming feeling that's hard to explain. The same one I get while accidentally WILDing. The world around me fades and I have trouble concentrating on it, it pretty much goes away until I'm not seeing anything anymore, I try to focus on things around me and I do but by then I'm awake and am just seeing the real world. |
|
This, this and this Pretty sure this is what I experience. |
