Thread: Do you think differently in LDs?

Just the sunday, I played out a musical for three dreams straight; trying that in waking would be disastrous in the best scenario. So yeah, it is without doubt easier to think in a lucid than it is in waking for me; but after doing that now it feels easier in waking too so eh, maybe its just we aren't as afraid/block ourselves/stuff?

Once I thought about something insanely difficult in a dream. It was a strategy to keep my stuff safe. When I woke up and tried to rebuild that plan I got headache from it. Also, I can compose mussic in dreams without even thinking at it. But other things are a lot harder for me to think about dreams. For example I fail at pretty simple math tasks in dreams. Like the one time, where I had to calculate how much money we need when we want to buy 112 Big Macs
if one costs 2.50€. I came on an number like 50 or so...

In my case, I become stupid in LD. I am always in hurry because I am afraid it ends before I benefit from these lucid times during dreaming. Sometimes I feel bored in LD and I return back to normal sleeping because of a heavy thought process during LD. I actually feel that everything in LD is from my own thoughts so my brain feels fatigue if I spend a lot of times there. Sometimes the dream scenes change so fast that I can't think and organize my next decision in LD.

I am kind of stupid in lucid dreams.
For example, I once tried to stabilize the dream by stretching my arms and spinning, and for some reason it was very important to do this in the corner of a room, and I kept hitting the walls.
It never occurred to me that maybe I should go somewhere with a little more space?

I know certain things instinctively when I am lucid sometimes. Almost always a specific dream character of mine has to be present, but some things I just know. Things like the 'storyline' the dream is supposed to follow and such.
