Well, it's been a while, but I'll remember as best I can. |

This is interesting. Can you tell me more about when this happened to you? Were you asleep in bed, then smoothly woke up from a dream without feeling groggy? |

No, that's pretty informative, thanks! |

Thanks for the help! |

It's very cool that you experience this sort of thing! Hypnagogia can definitely occur during the onset of sleep at the beginning of the night. I've had that happen a number of times. While you're less likely to slip straight into REM at the beginning of your sleep, hypnagogia is a very normal thing to experience. |

Definitely I'd be interested in learning more about Hypnagogic stuff. That time was the first time I can remember experiencing something like that, and it may be that my dream yoga training has helped me be more aware of it. I've only attempted WILD a few times, with no success, mainly because I am lazy and I didn't really read how to do it properly. Back to the point it would be cool to learn about hypnagogic imagery and sounds and such, perhaps like how to trigger them if possible and what to do when you experience them. Meanwhile back to studying, both IRL kind and LD kind |

I had a kind of mini LD last night. I woke up at 3 AM after suddenly thinking, 'oh, I'm dreaming' and jumping straight to being awake. I realized I was dreaming without doing an RC though which is encouraging. I tried WILDing but failed miserably (I still haven't really read the tutorials properly |

Congratulations, BlairBros! That's great! It's totally up to you whether or not you want to include it in your LD count, but no matter how you classify it, it's a very good sign. |

Oh I just remembered, I have wanted to ask about this for a while. |

My guess on the nightmare is that you were experiencing hypnopompic hallucinations while in rem atonia. It is possible that is was an fa. You should be able to tell if you have awoken from a fa as well. On the one hand, you would wake out of a dream which seems pretty easily identifiable, and on the other hand you have an intense waking experience that seems more suited to a dream. In that hypnagogic/hypnopompic state, you can experience just about anything. |

I agree with Chimp's explanation above -- well said, seems to fit very well with what happened to you, and comes from personal experience. |

I am back again! |

Last night my trend of good recall continued! I remember having either 3 or 4 dreams, I'm not sure whether one of them was two dreams or one very long dream, but I know that they were in the same REM period. The first dream I did remember when I woke up after it, but I forgot it unfortunately when I woke up in the morning |

My dream recall has dropped back down again to remembering nothing for the past 2 days, probably due to a lack of effort and me being tired, but it's the weekend now so hopefully I can get back on track. Also thank you CanisLucidus for putting my question on the podcast! |

No problem, BlairBros! Thank you for letting us use your question. Check it out when you get the chance and let us know what you think. I hope it's of some help! |

More weird stuff incoming! |

Welcome back, BlairBros! Sorry to hear about the arm but I'm glad to hear that your dream life's still been going well. |

This is a off a bit on a tangent, but I remember a dream I had a few weeks ago where I was at my school giving a presentation on lucid dreaming to the school. I was showing a power point and talking and stuff, and at one stage I did a few reality checks as part of the presentation, mostly trying to push my finger through my palm. The thing is though it didn't work, and I had absolutely no awareness in that dream. Now I know that RC's can fail, and I wasn't trying to lucid dream at all then, but I still find this dream to be odd. It is a bit hilarious that my entire dream was centred around lucid dreaming, was at my school (The only real dream sign I have) and I did reality checks in the dream, yet I had absolutely no consciousness. It was pretty much the perfect scenario to become lucid, but it didn't cross my mind. Oh well. On a positive that dream made me get back to being interested in lucid dreaming again. |

Well my wisdom tooth surgery is tomorrow morning, so I will probably be in a lot of pain for the next few days if what everyone keeps telling me is true. I also have to get up at 6:30 AM because I need to be at the hospital by 7, which is annoying, but what can you do. This might impair my dreaming tonight though, but hopefully it wont. I know I remembered some dream(s) last night but I didn't write them down so I forgot them really quickly. Such is the curse of a lazy person who can't be bothered trying to find where their dream journal has gotten to at 6 in the morning |

Hey BlairBros! I hope that the wisdom tooth surgery all went smoothly. |

The surgery was fine, everything went well. I didn't have any dreams under the anesthetic (I don't think you actually can dream under anesthetic), but I did wake out of it remarkably well, apparently I wasn't moaning around and stuff I just got straight up. My cheeks are all swollen though so they look a bit like this (minus the beard). |
