Last night I had a dream that i broke my brothers hand by accident. As soon as he started screaming I closed my eyes and counted to ten, after ten i awoke safely in my bed. I used to use this counting trick when I was a child. My question is how did I know to do the counting, but I didn't realize I was dreaming? I mean if I knew to do the counting I technically knew it was a dream, right?
You don't go through the same thought process when you're asleep. When you're awake, you use logic, making it seem odd you didn't realize it was a dream. But while asleep, you're whole thought process revolves around memories.
You remembered how you could always escape a dream by counting to ten, so you did, without logically thinking that by doing that, you had to be in a dream.
thanks for clearing this up
