Thread: Don't You Hate When You Wake Up And Realize It Was Only A Dream?

Oh yes, OOOOOOH yes

I met my perfect soulmate in a non lucid once, she was the nicest person ever, and the dream seemed to span over a longass time, and then it was over, and I woke up to being single lol

One thing I love is when you're dreaming about something bad (like going to school even though it's summer or the apocalypse) and then you wake up and realize it was just a dream and that you still have several months until you have to go to school or there's still five years until the apocalypse.

The part in bold made me LOL... Ever hear of Terence McKenna?

And yes, I have had quite a few of those dreams. I remember driving a 1972 Buick riviera (my dream car) through some sort of wierd desert (think cental wyoming lol). Man, when I woke up I was pissed, I REALLY wanted that car lol.

yeah or when you have your heart set on LD and you wake up and your like: shit i didnt LD.

Yeah, I was actually watching a special on the History channel about 2012, so I thought I'd put that in there.

oooh yea, one time i broke my grandma's (R.I.P) guitar , my mom almost killed me i felt like hell, (but we sent it to rapair)

and one night i had a dream about breaking it again, and i wanted to kill myself , but i woke up and was sooo released , it was like whew

Yeah I hate that. I always have dreams where I walk into a shop and buy loads of chocolate bars and food and I wake up before I get to eat it. Drives me insane.

Sometimes I have dreams and wake up and think "thank god that was just a dream" though. I had a dream my arm fell off once and I was fairly relieved when I woke up and realized I still had my arm.

I hate it to death. And especially during the day when something triggers my memory of the dream, then I'm like "What the fuck!?"

Haha thanks for the replies. And yeah, I also agree that it can also be relieving to wake up from a dream if it is bad, but I'd say most of my dreams are nice and pleasant, lucid or not.

yeh iv gone one better, i was having the best dream ever and i thought i'd check to make sure it was real (i was convinced it was real) and i done the finger counting rc and i had lots of fingers and realised it was in fact a dream.

Things that upset me are Non-Lucid's where something amazing happens and I wake up mad because it wasn't real or Non-Lucid's that are so horrible and I wake up with relief because it wasn't real.

I hate the feeling when i wake up from a dream i'm really enjoying, but i suppose that with all lucid dreaming and stuff i'll easily be able to go back to those dreams when i'm a better lucid dreamer.

that's the worst

i can handle waking up and realizing its a dream, cause i love dreaming lol

but when i wake up and i know i wasted a night sleeping (instead of getting lucid) then i'm a bit frustrated.\

:edit:

holy crap you joined this year and have 850+ posts
i envy you lol i wish i could come on here more.

Wow, even i wasn't keeping an eye on that thing, boy is it going fast lol, well i come on here most the time because i love the community and its good to learn more everyday, and lucid dreaming is awesome so, can't argue with that eh! You used to be around quite alot when i first joined, why don't i see you as often anymore?

I hate it when you wake up and can't remember anything. You just wake up. It's a weird feeling.

Hehheh, and Alucinor, you have more posts than me. >_>

Some dreams I'm like damn, I wish that was real

Other dreams, I've been like THANK GOD THAT WAS FAKE!!! (teeth fallnig out, getting shot, dreams like that)

why u all h8 it?? Doesnt the dreams very real/ Much real-er than real life when in real life it might have been gd but in dream is very real and ,maybe better than real life?

Not all dreams are like that. Some dreams can be very low-grade, and since in normal dreams, we don't always control our actions, and we don't know we're dreaming, so when something bad happens (i.e. being shot) it can be quite scary, and you think you're dying, but when you wake up, you're quite relieved.

I know exactly how you feel, you have this little spec of information on the dream right at the back of your head and you reach out for it and it slips away, gone forever, its so annoying, especially when you know for sure it was a good dream worth remembering.

Haha, yeah, it's so friggin' annoying. Especially if you do something during the day that triggers this feeling in you. You have a feeling that it's related to the dream, but you're just not sure because you can't remember anything.

oh yeah, I'm going to be a sophomore in high school this year and I'm really trying to make the basketball team again (even though I know my chances aren't that high) I dreamt that we were at tryouts and afterward the coach was telling everyone who made the team. He would name people and say "sorry, you didn't make it" and when he got to me he said "congradulations" I was so excited, until I woke up and was depressed all morning.

yeah, those 'dammit that was a dream!' and 'oh thank god!' moments are wierd, but i hate when you dream about trying to lucid dream, and then have a false awakening, and think 'wtf, i could have had a lucid!' and then wake up for real, and be like, 'aaaaaaarrrgghh, im so fucking stupid!!!!'

this happens to me surprisingly often.

my mom just woke me up in the middle of a lucid dream............arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Haha true that. It is funny how you can dream of lucid dreaming, then get a false awakening and be like "so close." When really, you still had the oppurtunity. Yeah those do suck, I don't get them often though.
