<strike>I had something weird happen last night. When I woke up, there was absolutely nothing to remember from my dreams. Not a feeling, not a picture. Nothing. I laid there with my eyes closed for about ten minutes. I had awakened naturally, and I hadn't moved from my spot since doing so. There was absolutely nothing to go on. My mind was completely blank. Usually if there's no picture to go by, or I wake up having at least some kind of feeling. An emotion of some kind, but not this time. I really don't know what to make of it. Did I dream the last part of the morning? Or was it just blank? Can that happen? Until now, I have never woken up with nothing to go by. In other journal entries, where I've said I have had done so, I always leave out that there is something. But it's usually too small to mention.Any tips or sugestions on what happened? </strike>

This too is happening:

Recently, I've been having a hard time separating the waking world and the dream world. Many times during the day, I actually ask myself if the thought I had happened in real life, or in a dream. For example, I'd be sitting, and thinking about what had happened throughout the day, and I come across a particular event, and I honestly can't figure out if I had done fir real or not. It's getting a little aggravating now, because it's happening more often. Other times, when I try to remember my dreams, I also can't recall if some parts were real life experiences, or in a dream. I just can't tell anymore. I hope this goes away, or is it a side affect from do LD techniques? I suppose that could be it since I am working more with my dreams more than usual. Like in the above morning, when I woke up without remembering a thing, there were three times today, while thinking that I couldn't tell if it happened or not. I thought that perhaps that they were a dream I could of had today, but I don't know. Any sugestions? Thanks!

this happened to me last night as well. the only advice i have is to wait it out for a few more days and see what happens. thats what i plan on doing. if it persists then i would start to get a little worried.

For the first question , just seems like your dream recall is going through a dry spell. Its common and nothing to worry about.

I don't know about the second question sorry.

Thanks for the help. I'm doing fine with the first problem. I guess it was just a one day thing, but I'm still having the second problem. Accualy, it's worse now that when I first posted it. Any help would be great.

i know exactly what your talking about.

I can usually tell from memory what was a dream and waht wasn't, but wehn i started having lucid dreams, i remember them with concious thought. I dont know if you understand what im saying, but, if it weren't for the fact that i knew i was dreaming, i would remember it as something that actualy happened. Usually in a dream, you rthougth process is all skewed. I.e., you are running away, you have to get away, and thats all you think about. When you have normal concious thought in dreams, it is almost exactly liek real life, except for the fact that you might be flying or something similar. I feel like Dr.X, the guy who experimented with ectasy. I feel like im almost studying my subconcious from the outside. Forgive em for ramling, but i hope i helped.

forgive for the typos

Thanks for the response, but I'm not too sure if I could find an answer to my question. Sorry. I think I understand what you mean by how LD can have problems in your waking life. But I haven't had many LD, but just a lot of dreams. It gets really annoying when I get up and not remember any dreams, but later remember something, but not sure if it was a dream or not. It's happening a lot more now. Thanks. C-ya.

It sounds like a clear light dream you had. No karma influence... that means.. nothing.. totally empty... A clear light dream..

Read about it in the book of : Tenzin wangyal Rinpoche... The tibetan yogas of dream and sleep...

Heck, I used to have that all the time. Thing is, I just got out of a psychotic episode, so maybe you should see a psychiatrist or physician about that if it really troubles you and you're having other forms of delusions/hallucinations. Also, it could just be that you've got an incredibly good dream recall, and your dream and real memory are synchronised. That's my two cents.

Mee too :P

Nothing to worry about, its just funny.

What I do is I ask someone that was in that memory if they remember it or I ask myself if its technically possible.
