Question?

[12and12and]

Im new and dont know much about this but I read somewhere that when you have a lucid dream you can't look at a clock and know what time it is. Multiple times i have been dreaming and seen a clock say with 6:23 on it. That morning when i would wake up it would be exactly the time i saw in my dream. Does anyone know why this happens?

Your sub normally has a pretty good idea what time it is.

In lucid dream, it's more about text (including time on clocks) being jumbled second time you look at it. So first time it may/may not look right, but if you look away and back, it may/may not be showing something else, or not even letters or numbers. Looking at text is one of the reality checks, but for this reason, not very reliable one. But there are people who can read just fine. And yes, as BrandonBoss says, you probably waking up at close to that time, so your internal clock is aware what time it is and it showed in your dream. Pretty cool, if you ask me. That's how it's possible to wake yourself up at any time you want. You just repeat it a few times as you go to bed. Happy dreams
