When people keep asking you why 'awake' is written on your hand

When fictional worlds no longer seem like "awesome places I wish I could go", but "awesome places I have been".

When you look at your hands and you brother sees, asks you what you did in your last lucid dream.
And you try to explain it and he's a bit confused because he just doesn't really get it.

When you go to bed at 9:00pm religiously. What are you, a second grader?!

Oh man, if I could, I *so* would...

Or a 2nd (1st) grade teacher.

When the only reason why you are in a bad mood is because of you're not able to remember any of the dream from last night... At least my kids get it

You know you are a dreamer when you wonder if the world is being created and populated as necessary when you move through it.

Wow

I feel like that a lot (!!!)

It was a "Rodrodrodism" ^^

I loved reading this! You know you're a dreamer when:
When you try to remember your childhood, dreams come to mind first. Also you sometimes wonder if that thing that happened when you were little was real or a dream until you remember that giant ceterpillar that appeared later in that scene.

Now I know it wasn't possible for a cloud to be perfectly shaped in the form of a bed with a cross on its headboard unless it was a dream...

When you turn from a night-owl into an early bird in only a couple nights just because you have this feeling that going to bed early will increase your chances to become lucid.

In fact, I am forcing myself to become a morning person right now;
just two days ago I insisted on getting up at 7 AM (which resulted in 5 hours of sleep) and this morning I went up at 4:30 AM, which is usually when I go to sleep during the weekends, lol.
And sure enough, I did end up getting excellent dream recall all of sudden, because for some reason I always notice many awakenings throughout the night when I go to bed early.

You know you are a dreamer if whenever anything good happens you immediately doubt if it is real... wow that sounded way sadder than I intended it to lol.

You know you're a dreamer when you realize the most exciting things that have ever happened to you were while you were sleeping.

You know you're a dreamer when the motivation behind taking daily vitamins is dream effects, not health effects
....when you buy an ill fitting crop top just because it says "dreamer"
....when you join an online forum about lucid dreaming because nobody else in your life understands

Thanks for the reminder: let's see, I have my ginko biloba complex here, the ultra-multi-vitamin there, and oh yeah, the spoonful of lecithin. Gotta finish that blueberry/sour cherry shake I made yesterday, too . Almonds/walnuts anyone?

this....

You know you are a dreamer when the reason why you go to sleep is to record as many dreams as possible;
sleeping is just that thing you have to do in order to get dreams to write down.

You know you're a dreamer when someone interrupts you during a reality check and you say something like, "shut up, you're just a DC anyway!"

You know you're a dreamer when y- wait why is my dog on the ceiling?

You know you're a dreamer when y- wait why is my dog on the ceiling?

Wait, that means you're dreaming. And if I'm in your dream... then that means I'm just part of your imagination!
Listen, I really need you to pay more attention to me. And stay asleep! Please, otherwise I won't exi-

...

On a side-note: Pretty nice post.

You know you are a dreamer when you have ink stains on your pillow cases and sheets from trying to write in your DJ while half a sleep.

You know you're a dreamer when for a change you decide to leap out of bed the instant you wake up...but because you're so used to laying still until fully awake, you just barely make to the hallway without incident before smacking straight into the corner of the wall with you're whole right side. The pain is what finally awakens you.

Thinking to yourself, "if this were a dream my coordination would have been on POINT dammit!"
>_<
