When you wake up after a Lucid Dream, do you feel tired or more awake than usual?
I just had a series of lucid's and false awakenings and I realised when I woke up that I had fallen asleep at around 6 PM and woken up at 7:30 PM. I felt like I had slept all night and it would have been the morning. But usually when I wake up I feel tired as shit and I just want to go back to sleep again.
So what happens to you?
Usually I get really excited, because I can't wait to post it here and share it, hehe :)
Sometimes it's 7am though, and there's no way I'm dragging myself upstairs to my computer :P
I feel that I must get up and right the dream I had ASAP, so that I won't forget it, or even worse, remember it as any other dream.
I predict the poll will show a unanimous "awesome"! :D
More awake, more aware. Good overall. :D
Awake, exited, energized, etc. Just like this morning when I had one. :D Unfortunately my first instinct is to tell my MM folks about it, and post it in my DJ over there. XD
Same :)Quote:

When having regular dreams and can sleep for hours; well past the time im suppose to get up. I love dreaming so much most of the time. I found that my general mindset and concerns can have an influence on what types of dreams i have. (inundate the mind with horror movies and see what kind of dreams you have. It can be different for each individual what triggers altered dreams) I just started meditating on the heart chakra (part of kriya kundalini yoga) with affirmations etc and have noiticed a dramatic shift in the nature of my dreams.
Well, I would tick two boxes, if I could. The Tired/Worn out one, and the "want to get back to LD" one.
But seeing as the last one is so obvious, I ticked the worn out one.
It seems to be that I am completely tired after LDing. Like, as if I didn't get enough sleep.
That is most of the time anyway, other times, it wasn't any noticable effect.
I always feel great after a lucid dream. Even if I get a good quality sleep I always feel better when I wake up if I had a lucid dream.
Other- happy, and just satisfied I had a LD!
Depends on the day, and how long I slept for, so it can be anywhere from tired as heck to really happy and excited/energized.
Just wanna get back to sleep to LD again! and also other: Epicly amazing.
My head feels hot and expanded like a headache without pain, I think its because my head is hollow in my dreams.
I sit there for a few minutes staring at the ceiling with a huge smirk on my face because I'm secretly very proud, and trying to imprint every second of the dream into a memory. :lol: I had one this morning that must have gone for 20 minutes or so. It didn't go the way I planned, actually :?... The dream that is. :cheeky: Anyway, never-the-less; I was still overjoyed.
Then I can't wait to get back to sleep to LD again, but I'm usually too overexcited to sleep. :cheeky:
That's really interesting.. O.o Never heard of anything like that...Quote:

Hehe that's interesting I feel confident too when I wake after after a lucid dream. I think it's something to do with realising you are in control of yourself or something. Or that most of what you think is the world in really just in your head; your perception.

Yeah I just love that feeling. Yes it does have something to do with that. I always realize that it is all in my head and that I can do whatever I please.
I want to go to sleep again and have another one. Usually when I have a LD, it means that there's a better chance I'll have another one if I go back to sleep. :)
I feel awake, energetic, and exited, and I get a high that lasts for hours.
I get that to it usually lasts the whole day. Sometimes I do want to go back to sleep so I can have another Lucid Dream but then I don't want to forget my previous one I had. So I just get up and type it down in my Dream Journal so I don't forget it.
This is exactly how I feel :)Quote:

If it was a good LD? I feel as if I can take on the world. I feel like I can do anything. Lately I only feel truly 'rested' after either a. an extremely vivid dream or b. an LD.
Lucid dreaming is more than just fun for me. It has given my life deeper meaning.
Usually awake and excited, pumped to go and post about it in my DJ. :P
I physically feel the same or a little less tired than normal, but the whole morning, I'm just thinking about one thing...
THAT WAS THE BEST DREAM EVER! 8D
Of course, I always think that, even though I've had better LDs. Whatever.
I meant to put "Awake and Energized" but I hit "other" :P
Anyway yeah, I wake up feeling pretty good :)
I always want to get up and write it down before I forget everything. I also get a huge sense of confidence, and think, "That was easy, I'll just do that again tomorrow night, or whenever I want." ...cue the dryspell.
Lol, I know how you feel. :cheeky:Quote:

Usually I feel relaxed and alert. A calm similar to meditation. But sometimes I feel twisted and used up, sort of like the feeling of coming down off a really strong acid trip, but different. I've also woken up with a head ache once or twice.
I always feel really satisfied as well. Even when I feel bad.
Awake and excited as they aren't very common for me atm.
i feel more awake than when I usually wake up, but that's because when I'm lucid it's like a large part of my mind is already awake. And I haven't yet managed to get back to sleep after one.
I get mentally clear after LDing, as though a gray veil were lifted from my mind.
And I feel happy and satisfied inside. :)
Physically, I go about my day as normal, but I think my good mood from that night makes me a little sharper than usual.
From my experiences, I always feel incredibly alert and, well, lucid. Things are incredibly clear.
positive, alert, and results in my mood best described as a "sunny disposition".
I felt so happy and just grinned in my bed! I managed to write it down aswell god knows how!
I feel energized and awake, kinda feels like i can take on the world.
