Thread: Question.

Last night, I had a dream where I was doing something so outragous, I ased myself if I was dreaming. I realized I was, but then I woke up. That was one of the first times I realized I was I was dreaming in a dream. For the first time, is it usual to wake up as soon as you realize it?

im still new here , but waking up as soon as you realize it is not strange
it happened to a friend of mine about 6 times , maybe out of excitement ?!

It's not unusual to wake up after realizing that you're dreaming, especially during the first couple times. My advice would be not to think of your physical body or yourself lying in bed, and to remain calm. Touching objects and slowly spinning in a circle to take in your surroundings will help greatly, as doing so will ground you in the dream.

I woke up about 6 seconds after, yes it's regular for your first lucid

The Lucid Dreamer's worst nightmare, finally grasping it and losing it so quickly.

Yes, its normal. Happens to us all the first few times. Keep at it, you'll gain control eventually!
