How realistic are your lucid dreams.

**DreamingGod** · 03-10-2009 01:33 AM

Well, most people have different interpretations and feelings in their lucid
dreams. Some people experience their dreams more realistically than others.
And sometimes our own dreams are more realistic at times than other dreams.

but this is my question. When you do experience the most realism in your
dream.Does it feel just like real life as in the way you see now and feel
the same way in a dream at times? Does it feel as if it's actually real life
while in your dream?

my false awakening last night was far more vivid than any of my lucid dreams, it just seemed real life

I've been having FA's almost every morning lately.
Annoying as hell having to get up twice haha

Anyway, on-topic, my dreams range from absolute vividness to fuzzy =/

It depends on how aware I am that I'm dreaming. My normal dreams are usually very realistic but the closer to 100% lucid I am the more surreal things begin to look.

They tend to feel mostly as if I were awake, only my awareness is not quite as sharp. The least I can say is that they're realistic enough for me to remember them with a lot of clarity after awakening.

Since DILD is my most common LD method, it usually depends on how vivid my non-lucid dream is. Though, if I become lucid while the dream is fuzzy, I stare at my hands and, when I look away, it usually makes my LD environment as vivid as waking life.

same here. Trying to counter act this by doing a nose RC every time I wake up and scotch taped "true" to the cover of my DJ. that way I hope to avoid the effort of having to write my dreams down twice

Whenever I have a vivid lucid I always stop and take the time to look at everything.
What I have noticed is that dreams are more simplistic in detail, for instance grass and trees never look like real grass and trees to me, more like CGI. and often everything has a haze or a glow to it, its hard to explain.
When I look up close at the texture of a wall or the ground, it looks like its been cloned over and over again.
So I guess lucid dreams are more like a computer game to me.
Although false awakenings are unimaginably uber real, its like..fully excepting that your awake while your still in a dream then learning your still dreaming makes everything so real its scary.

probably because of your subconsciousness. I have a similar issue- while my dreams are realistic (all be it vague sometimes), whenever I go someplace I keep thinking of all the effort it would take to create a 3d model of it and realise it's probably not been built yet so on numerous occasions, especially when flying I "go out of the map" into golden nothingness.

on a rare occasion it will feel so real, I'll even have body weight - that I would question my own sanity before jumping out my window to fly. Have I just gone crazy and am I just going to fall and break myself in two?

If Barack Obama didn't show up in one of my dreams, I would of called it real.

Oh wait, lucid dreams

One was amazingly vivid, these last two I had have been the color of these forums and hazy. Very strange

I've only ever had one lucid dream and it was quick but it was very vivid and realistic. The sunlight coming through the window which I was somehow able to see through a shower curtain was fantastic and lit the room a nice golden color

My WILDs tend to be a lot more real feeling than my DILDs. I often use RCs during WILDs before doing something risky (like jumping off of a building or breaking stuff) just to reassure myself that I'm actually dreaming.

In most of my WILDs it's stormy outside for some reason. I can hear and feel the wind and rain. I can see things like trees and clouds blowing in the wind and it makes if feel all the more real. It really immerses me into the dream environment.

My DILDs are less vibrant, but I'm just starting to have more of them due to habitual reality testing during my waking life. I think they will become more realistic feeling after I get better at training myself to stabilize them like I do with my WILDs.
