do a reality check on the spot, trust me, it might seem aribitrary to do after you know your dreaming, but just do it. It helps SOO much. |

So I have an interesting problem. The weird thing is, if I'm in a scary or weird situation or something, but never something like a nightmare, my dream self is like 'I've got to get out of here, I know I'm dreaming!' instead of truly realizing that I'm dreaming and then becoming lucid. I realize I'm dreaming and I know how to wake myself up but I can't seem to realize fully enough to use the opportunity. It seems like a waste haha so I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Any ideas? |

This is actually a common problem. It's because the logic centre of your brain is asleep. Do a couple reality checks (pinch your nose, look at a clock, look at your hands) and try yelling "This is a dream! I can do whatever I want!" |

I think posters above are wrong that it's possible to perform some action at such a moment... At least I can't. Performing actions is only possible if you're already lucid. |

Numerous times I've had these types of dreams, where I'm basically saying, "Nothing to worry about, it's only a dream," but somehow not realizing it's really a dream. Hell, it happens on a regular basis for me now. Aggravates me how I'm passing the lucid opportunity almost nightly. |

yeah i have the same problem, i just posted a thread similar to this actually. i'm sure all it takes is a reality check, but i always forget about them. |

Many of my dreams are of this type. Often I won't even "realize" it's a dream but will still "know" that the laws of reality don't work in the dream. |

Its because you have no logic during dreams |
