so i just woke up from a dream a little bit ago. it was pretty vivid. i woke up with the thought that i should've gotten lucid because of the vividness. but so i'm lying on my back with my arms crossed. i look over at the clock and see the correct time. everything looks normal, i'm awake.

i think to do a reality check so i lift up my arm to look at my hand. i wave my arm in front of my face but i can't see it. i'm just like what the hell? i keep waving my arm in front of my face and it flashes sometimes. then i try my other eye expecting to see it, nothing. i start seeing it with my left eye though and go back to my right, still nothing. then i'm thinking "is lucid dreaming messing up my brain?" and i was wondering if it was like that one episode of house where the guy can't see movement. so then i decide to get up, i jump on my couch and pet my dog and next thing i know i'm back in bed, it's a minute later than before. i just think "wow that was only a minute? had to have been at least 5".

this time i skeptical that i'm awake but the clock looks normal and is the correct time and i do another reality check where i can close one eye and see my nose, i can see it. go to check my hands again, same thing as before. what is going on i'm thinking. so then i'm thinking if this is a dream i'm lucid. i try to move my alarm clock with my mind, nothing.

then it happened a third time. opened my eyes and my arms are back in the crossed position, clock was another minute later. this time my brother came to ask me something and i answered him and changed positions and actually broke the loop. it was friggin weird though, i'm guessing i was just hallucinating the feeling of my arms moving or something and i was actually opening my eyes and looking at my clock and the ceiling. if my brother wouldn't have interrupted it i was thinking about just closing my eyes and trying to do a WILD (haven't done one before but this seemed like a good opportunity, probably would have been) but it was kind of late and i thought i should get up.
