When it gets you in trouble!

[juroara]

when I was jobless, I was an insomniac only dreaming in the early morning. I didn't want to oversleep and get up so late, so a lot of my morning adventures were ruined. I ended them by deciding it was time to get up. I was so paranoid about over sleeping, I ruined countless good morning dreams long before it was really time to get up. Now that I am employed I keep trying to find ways to extend my lucid dreams instead, doing what I can to not wake up. This morning I woke up at 5:30 AM, half an hour before it was time to get up and get ready. And I thought, thats a half an hour more to have some more adventures - well worth it. I guess I really put my heart into this time because my dream was long - I forgot completely about work - and I did what I could to stay focused on the dream and making it longer and funner. My body was telling me "hey, time to wake up!" I struggled to keep my eyelids closed and still as I stabilized the dream by jumping out of my dream sign, a window. When I jumped a window into a new dream environment, I was temporarily blinded by sunlight. Which made sense I thought - indoor versus sunlight. But the sunlight was getting annoying, it was making it hard to see the ocean below me that I was free falling to! I realized the sunlight was bothering my physical eyes, so it wasn't coming from the dream - I was waking up! I thought for a moment of what I could do to get myself to fall back asleep again and keep dreaming since the window trick didn't work - but then I also realized 6 am is dark. theres no sunlight this time of year at 6am! o.o I overslept! I wake up, and its 7am. My room is bright and sunny. my alarm didn't ring and I'm very late for work! oh and, for the past two months I always wake up a minute before my alarm rings anyways! but not this morning =D

I wake up, and its 7am. My room is bright and sunny. my alarm didn't ring and I'm very late for work! All I can say is.. if ya got to be late for work.. having a great lucid kinda eases the pain! oh and, for the past two months I always wake up a minute before my alarm rings anyways! but not this morning =D I find that if I set my mind to it before I fall asleep at night, my subconscious will wake me up before my alarm rings as well. .

Yea it's never good when your LD gets interrupted there is nothing worse in my opinion involved with dreaming that is. A solution could be to go to bed earlier so it gives you more lee way for error.
