Are you talking about dreaming in the third person, with that last part? I've had that happen before, where it seems to be the most normal thing, which when you think about it, is pretty dang wierd. |

Alright, so I've always wondered how my dream experiences compare to others - everyone else I've ever talked to in person can't lucid dream if they can even remember their dreams, so this is a great place to ask! Some things I've noticed about how my experiences seem to differ compared to others based on what I see people talking about - but then again, most people seem new to it, which is probably why.(I haven't read that deeply into what people say, which is why I'm asking). |

Yeah, regarding the emotions there often seems to a break between stimulus and response: I've fallen to my death without batting an eyelid, while on the other hand I've been absolutely terrified of an empty room for no reason. |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.
I think the things you describe match very well what others experience in dreams, though of course individual experiences may be different: |

Funny you should say that--I feel the need to share that the first dream that I can remember being someone completely different occured for me, after reading someone's dream post where they said they always dream they are other people! Kinda have to wonder if that post didn't influence, in part, that dream lol |

Mirrors are fine for me too actually, for the most time at least, and in some dreams i get many reflective surfaces or non-surfaces. |

Hmmm, I wonder if maybe the weird emotional ones are non-lucid? Although I suppose there's no reason a dream has to be just one or the other, I think I usually have control in all my dreams but occasionally it's limited (e.g. I can fly but to do so I have to get in the air by jumping, I swim through the air, etc.) Maybe a lot of reality checks work for sleep paralysis dreams? Those are the dreams where I have trouble realizing I'm still asleep. And has anyone felt like they experiences first and third-person simultaneously? Or perhaps it's harder to remember it being as such because it's so incredibly bizarre your waking brain can barely reimagine it. |
