Besides finding this particular example rather amusing, RB obviously didn't think to check his surroundings/RC upon wishing it was a dream. He could have considered what he would have done if it were a dream also, but instead proceeded with the impossible as normal.Quote:
Robot_Butler - I had a dream last night where I was back in Hawaii driving along the coastal road to my Father's house. I came around a blind turn at the point, and saw the road in front of me was all eroded away to rocks and sand. I tried to turn around, but there was no way to get back to the highway. I was so frustrated, I said to myself, "I wish this was a dream, I would just drive right into that beautiful pristine water and not have to deal with any of this."
But instead, I picked my car up above my head so it wouldn't get wet, and waded through the waves to where the road picked up again.

Here I would say nayrki's dream persona was too ingrained in the dream. Their schema was too 'in character', so everything seemed normal.Quote:
nayrki - I had a dream where i was the vampire king building the vampire army to take over the world.
I jumped off a skyscraper and i didnt think anything of it because i was immortal

Classic example of planning to fail (for the RC that is). One should never take the notion that 'this all looks way too real to be a dream' because it often is just as real or vivid as life. Taosaur needed to do his RC to completion and expect it to work/be in a dream.Quote:
Taosaur - Last night I had a dream that I woke up at my work, which is closed until monday, and I was all "wtf, how did I get here?" I wandered out onto the street and I thought "Wait, I must be dreaming." I attempted a finger-thru-the-palm RC, but even as I did it I was looking around thinking, "No, this street is way too bright and detailed, I'm really here," and the the RC failed :P
