Thread: Idiotic Dream Logic

I constantly find myself waking up to a smile at how stupid I can be in dreams. I actually consciously convince myself I'm NOT dreaming when I question if I am or not whilst I AM actually dreaming.

What's worse is that I will use any type of idiotic logic to justify the fact that what I am dreaming is real. Sometimes it's completely random.

As an example:

Recently I had a dream that I had many different sized displays and monitors on my desk hooked up to my computer. At first I thought this was really neat, but then I remembered that I usually end up breaking anything electric if I try to modify it (these monitors and displays were modified from things like car LCD's and things to work with my computer).

At this point I questioned whether I was dreaming or not. You'd expect me to enter into a lucid state at this point, but instead I decided to take a closer look at the monitors.

Upon doing so, I realized that there were wires hooked up to the monitors, and this was my response (virtually verbatim):

"Oh-ho! Wires, huh?! Well this obviously can't be a dream! There's wires connecting these to my computer!"

And I did believe myself... somehow I managed to convince myself that wires don't exist in dreams . I woke up shortly after.

Does anyone else have this type of problem. I can never seem to get a DILD because I find any reason to justify that my dream is not a dream, even if it makes no sense in real life.

I don't get it. Should I do more reality checks?
