Thread: How real does a lucid dream feel?

It varies, but my dreams can super real. Like exactly like real life real. In my lucids, I often just look around, exploring how wonderfully real things are.

Like jonathan said, it varies. Some don't seem very vivid or real at all, others can seem even hyper-real where your senses seem to have sharpened, and colors are more vibrant. That's often what WILDs are like for me.

They don't feel like dreams, believe me, it feels exactly like you're in real life but can do anything.

It's not always the same. Sometimes it looks and feels just like real life, and sometimes the surfaces look like textures from a game from 1999. Still, what you see is not everything. The whole feeling of being aware that it is a dream, surfaces feeling like they should (wood feeling like wood, metal feeling cold), being able to feel the wind through your hair or feel the temperature rising when the sun appears, it's great! I once moved some clouds aside with my hands to reveal the sun and it made everything brighter and it felt warm.

It's awesome when everything looks and feels realistic.

It depends. Some dreams I'll realize I'm dreaming but still feel like there are certain aspects I can't control. Some dreams feel more realistic. I almost always end up flying at some point during every lucid dream...this doesn't generally happen in real life.

As real as it is right know. Shoot, we could be in one right one...DO A REALITY CHECK!!! hahaha.

I've had around 50 lucid dreams and all of them have sucked and were unreal... I'm gonna have to try more with my lucid dreams... I think I need to take more time to stabilize my dreams because I only have the sense of sight, touch and hearing... The clarity is terrible in my dreams... I'm usually in unknown places with terrible lighting... I should make a dream journal...
