I know that during dreams, simple things should be hard yet, I can have a non lucid dream, write 1+1 and I know and right down 2, is this normal?

Sure why not, I can do that kind of stuff too. Guess its because you were not feed on expectations <.<
I'm lead on my believe that during a dream. ANYTHING is possible, maybe that's why I can have as much logic as I want.
The actions in a non LD are alomost like a movie. You do everthing fitting to the dream. you are sort of watching film about you doing addition. LDs are very different. I rember that for a longtime you have a ver clumsey time trying to do anything. I often have some logic in the dream. However, check it out yoursell. Writing would be very hard. I can not read even a street sign.
I can look at a stop sign, look away, look back and see the word stop still the same If I wanted to see stop - it's non lucid to semi( but more non) lucid at that point.
Just posted this in another section, but it applies here as well :panic:
The other night I was Lucid Dreaming but things did feel slightly real when I looked out of the open window. I remember thinking "If I jump and I'm not dreaming I will die," so I checked to see if I could 'hover' in the air.
Next thing I know, it's safe to fly out the window and I'm off!
I also use light switches as signs in my dreams. I check the light switch and if it doesn't turn on I somehow just know I'm dreaming hahaha
I can read in dreams, both lucid and non lucid, however if I reread it again it changes. Also while I would agree with you, Sivason, that most non lucids are like watching a movie, but some non lucids are not. An example of it is the nightmare I had the other day, where I reality checked because stuff was happening that should not be happening. But the reality check failed. So I concluded I was not dreaming, ergo it was a non lucid. However, it was a non lucid during which my awareness was very close to lucidity, and I was actually there - not the usual noone is home dream memory in past tense - this one i actually very much experienced in the present moment. I would even say my logic was pretty good: people and things disappeared into thin air, neighborhood changed as I kept walking, but the reality check failed, therefore using pretty good logic, I decided that I must be going completely crazy. Now I would say that this was good logic, even if it was a false conclusion, because if I had not been dreaming and those things were happening, my going completely crazy would have been a logical explanation. Now mind you I kept RCing, but my RC kept failing, and I got into such a state of panic, it was one of my worst nightmares. but my logic and awareness were pretty high for a non lucid.Quote:
