Thread: How real are your dreams?

Depending on your dream logic, woudn't your dream automatically make you think it's as real as in real life?

back on topic. Most of my dreams seem just as real as real life from what I can remember. Some dreams (non lucid) I woke up from and for a few minutes i'm still thinking about it like "oh i'm going to do this today" then I remember, "oh shtt it was just a dream".

He wasnt all that talkative as I recall.

my first LD was extremely real!

I had a dream last night that I ate chocolate ice cream, and it tasted delicious. It wasn't lucid though, just normal, then I demanded more ice cream because the bottom of my cone was not full of ice cream too.

The ice cream tastes like ice cream!

I remember eating a crisp in a none lucid once, obviously because it was lying there on the table and for some stupid reason I decided to eat it, it tasted rather sick compared to real life.

It depends on time of night, if it yearly in the night i get about 50%. In the morning REM i get 90% and sometimes more then 100%.

Regular dreams are ususally only about 50% most of the time. Sometimes 60%. Lucid dreams are much more so! I'd give them a 98%. I can feel carpet under my feet, air conditioning in the room, the warmth of another person, soft fabric. I can taste, saltiness or whatever. I can hear, water dripping from the faucet - and all of this simultaneously.
There's still an aspect that is about 2% unreal though. I generally compare it to the beach scene in the movie "Contact". It's beautiful... but something's just not quite right. I have to look more carefully in dreams though; it's not always easy to detect the 2% difference.

And there are no calories in dream ice cream... so seconds and thirds are okay!

I've had vivid dreams that were pretty damn close to real life. These seems to be few and far between, maybe once every couple weeks or so. Others might be vivid but involve pretty outlandish stuff that I just accept in dream logic. I'd say about 50-75% of my dreams are hazy where time/space/people just sort of fade in and out.

Sadly just about none of my dreams are very real. I'm always watching myself instead of seeing through my own eyes even though it feels like I'm myself. Anyone have any ideas of how I could start seeing through my own eyes in my dreams?

sometimes I'll have nonlucid dreams that seem so real that I can't stop thinking about them all day.

then some of my lucid dreams have felt so real that I kept RCing every 60 seconds because I couldn't believe that it wasn't real. Those are the nights that I realize why I love lucid dreaming so much, as my long periods of non-LDs in between can suck all the excitement out of it.

but people always have those dreams that are fuzzy and stuff. The point is, although they aren't always 100% real, they can be that way at times

Hmm, try taking notice of your eye sight and in bits, take advantage of it. Basically, obsess a little about how you can see through your own eyes.

Nice avatar btw, lol
