Thread: Usally how does your Lucid Dream end?

Usually I just suddenly find myself awake. Sometimes I can feel myself waking up and try to stabilize. Sometimes I wake myself up. Sometimes I can hear things from RL intruding in the dream and I know I'm about to wake up (ie my alarm is going off)

They end with a white fade (like a Counter-Strike flashbang) and it suddenly becomes the backs of my eyelids.

It starts by fadeing to black, then my sences start returning, and then its the back of my eyelids.

yeah same for me. just a white glowing fading out while i sort of get frustrated trying to remain in the dream.

Thanks guys for the reply's... Seems most just fades or you lose lucidity... hmm I can't wait to ge my first Lucid Dream to see how mines ends.

For me it just starts to fade out and I think "Aw crap, my dream is fading" and I try to save it but it doesn't really work. And then I'm awake. But sometimes it's a false awakening.

Mine ends in disapointment...

Why, you ask? Because, at the end of the Lucid Dream, I become disapointed that it ends.

Do you know how it slowly becomes black in front of your eyes and you get dizzy when you were lying down somewhere and stood up too quickly? I have those sorts of blackouts, without the dizziness.

Stole my post.

usually for me one of two things happen:

1) I lose control and drift back into the dream without realizing that I am dreaming (I have always had problems sustaining LDs)

2) I wake up because the lucidity is so intense.

Ah I forgot an important one- sometimes something distracts me or I get too crazy and I lose lucidity.

They usually fade away from seconds to a minute or so when the moment I become lucid. :/

*sighz*

I'll also lose control and become non-lucid.

I almost always realize a few seconds before the dream (luicid or not) ends that it is about to. So if I wasn't lucid until them I get a second or two of lucidity (suck). There is just a sensation of movement that is seperate from my dream body that signals the end of the dream. Then the dream either fades and I awake or it cuts off abruptly.

1) Most commonly I can tell quite some time in advance that I am going to be waking up soon and a few things start to happen as my awakening draws closer.
a) Loss of Dream Control
b) Loss of Lucidity
c) Dream Scene becomes very simple. Like someone turned the graphics down.
d) Dream Scene starts to fade black.
e) I start to hear outside noises. I.E. people walking around outside my room. Alarm Clock, etc.
f) I force myself to wake up to remove myself from a situation in this case it's like blinking one second your in the dream the next your awake instantly.
g) DC's start saying "goodbye", "cya next time", "looks like your gonna wake up soon" etc.
