Things that may happen to other people...

Does anyone here have these experiences? (10) 1.When you come back to your body after dreaming, you get this tingly whoosh... 2.You always have to pee when you WBTB sounds... 3.Your body tricks you into thinking you are having HP or SP becuase you expect it... 4.You are pumped about LDing until nighttime, when it doesn't look safe/worth it... (Consequently hating yourself in the morning) 5.I am waking up after almost every dream, and remembering all of it. (They are ridiculously long, once I defected to the Vietnamese army under a malignant general that constantly made me shoot my own guys to prove my loyalty...) After all that (about a week) I woke up, and felt like I had been on vacation. 6.Automatically opening your eyes after waking up (DEILD killer) 7.Hating people in real life because of what they did to you in your dream... 8.Not really dreaming, but on long car/bus rides where you doze off but don't sleep: you trip and when you hit the ground you wake up... 9.Hating the four beep alarm (The most common sound) with a passion... 10.My all time most hated dream: Your eyes are barely open, you can barely move, everything is blurry, and you have to escape/fight something. Like a Knight looking through the slit of his helmet while teary-eyed and weighed down by his armor. You know you can fight, but why can't you see/move?

One thing that happens to me in dreams that I HATE is when I am running to or from something and its as though I am running on ice, in slow motion. Like trying to run under water.

1.When you come back to your body after dreaming, you get this tingly whoosh... I started experiencing a tingling feeling sometimes after waking up from nightmares, a bit more than a year ago (not lucid dreaming related, I don't think I knew about it yet). It's possible I also had a bit of SP before/during the tingling. If I did, that's my only experience with SP. Maybe it's because of waking up too fast. 4.You are pumped about LDing until nighttime, when it doesn't look safe/worth it... (Consequently hating yourself in the morning) Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Recently I've started to overcome the fear part by going through logic of lucid dreams vs. normal dreams/no dreams. The feeling like it isn't worth it is a bit harder to overcome. I get around this by deciding to "just watch" whatever dreams I happen to have. Half the time I seem to change my mind during the middle of a dream and become lucid anyways (though admittably those lucids tend to be more vague then planned ones). 5.I am waking up after almost every dream, and remembering all of it. (They are ridiculously long, once I defected to the Vietnamese army under a malignant general that constantly made me shoot my own guys to prove my loyalty...) After all that (about a week) I woke up, and felt like I had been on vacation. I had a ridiculously long dream once, which I called "The Invaders". It felt like I'd been gone a while all right, but it hardly felt like a vacation 7.Hating people in real life because of what they did to you in your dream... Yep, I've woken up rather cranky before due to stressful dreams involving people I know in waking life. The dream versions of them in such dreams are incredibly irrational. 9.Hating the four beep alarm (The most common sound) with a passion... My mind once convinced me that my alarm was an annoying bird that must be whacked to get it to be quiet. A very accurate metaphor, in my opinion. 10.My all time most hated dream: Your eyes are barely open, you can barely move, everything is blurry, and you have to escape/fight something. Like a Knight looking through the slit of his helmet while teary-eyed and weighed down by his armor. You know you can fight, but why can't you see/move? I've had a few WILDs where everything was totally vague and it drove me crazy. I don't mind it too much in normal dreams, but in a lucid it's infuriating. Of course, getting upset just makes it worse, as I found out the hard way. I remember one time that my dream became vivid the instant I lost lucidity, lol.
