Memory

[Vespertine]

This hasn't happened recently but still does from time to time. I experience this most when I was in high school. You know you're lucid when you're aware you're dreaming, right? Right. So you're pretty much with it, right? Right. I used to have lucid dreams then, as I'm enjoying myself (or not) I think to myself, "SHIIIIIIIT!!! Math homework!!!" and I'd wake up at like 3 am, do homework, go back to sleep. Anyonw else do this? lol

Well when you are lucid you have (restricted somewhat, depending on level of lucidity) acces to your real life memories, so it wouldnt be unusual if that happens. But no, it never happened to me... I'm always too happy to explore my LD's to give much thought to chores and the likes.

Never done that! I have however lost lucidity worrying because I knew it was getting really close to time for the alarm clock to go off.

I've done it in non-lucids, but I didn't do what it was I was supposed to do, I'm just lazy

[Krista]

I've done something like that. I'll be having a dream (not neccissarily a lucid), and I'll think "Crap, I need to get up now". And when I wake up, it's a few minutes before my alarm is supposed to go off.

I usually get my homework done b4 i got to sleep to avoid instances like this ~R~

yeah...sometimes I remember things I have to do in real life... it's really cool

I used to get that quite a bit. I'd suddenly, in dream, think something like, "did I remember to clean the kitchen?' or 'lock the door' or 'close all the curtains' etc, and I'd wake up and check over whatever I'd thought I'd forgotten. Of course, this was back when I was riddled with OCD traits. A few times I think I even sleep cleaned my apartment on the nights I was far too exhausted to clean. I woke up the next morning and the house was spotless and I didn't remember cleaning it. I either sleep cleaned or I was lucky enough to have a cleaning fairy who spiffied up the apt for me while I slept.

[/b] I do that with locking the door, but it's usually because I actually did forget to lock the door

I've put off a huge math review until the next morning (stupid, and rare of me to do) and that night when i dreamt i guess my mind was just so much on the next morning's math test that i had a non-lucid dream of me studying. It didnt help me much the next day because i have horrible memory recall, but the few seconds of me studying that i do remember were 100% correct, and to this day that dream motivates me more than anything else to develop my dream recall because i had the 'epiphany', so to speak, that i could actually study and work on real life skills within a dream! Its a magnificent thought, but unfortunately i'm realizing this could take lifetimes to achieve, and i'm getting quite discouraged. :/

I've had a few things like that, only it's been a bit different. I'd just think I had something to do, then wake up. When I had awoken, I'd realize I had nothing to do, then go back to sleep. Each time something like that happens though, it's not far off from the regular time that I wake up at.

Never done that! I have however lost lucidity worrying because I knew it was getting really close to time for the alarm clock to go off. [/b] In two of my lucid dreams, I started worrying if it wasn't time for me to get up yet. Right after that, I heard a beeping noise similar to that of my alarm clock. The first time, this prompted me to stare in order to wake myself up, which led to a false awakening. The second time, I just woke up. On both occasions, My alarm clock hadn't gone off at all. Also, I once screwed up a lucid dream by trying to turn of my pc in it. I wanted to see if it would still be turned off when I woke up. When I tried to turn it off, however, it wouldn't. I think it was even taunting me with silly error messages. I lost lucidity trying to achieve my goal and when I woke up, I realized I had turned off my actual pc when I'd gone to bed.
