Lucid dreaming may seem like a lot of fun if you don't do it often. It is sleeping on the edge of REM. To me, it is exhausting. I wake up many times throughout the night. And I never feel well rested. I often drift back and forth between lucid and non lucid dreams....meaning I am aware I am dreaming, but don't take control of the dream. In that aspect I cannot ever accomplish anything in my dreams. ie. knowing I am dreaming, but still trying to dial the telephone. I can't see the numbers or dial them correctly, but rather than say" this is a dream, the number is not even relevant," I keep trying. Kinda hard to explain, but when I wake up, I feel like I was running a marathon. I just want to sleep deeper and not remember so much about my dreams. |

Ok, lots of problems here, saying =/= knowing, so you might as well have no lucids. What you described as WILD there is in reality a FA or false awakening. |

This sounds just like insomnia to me, and is not related to lucid dreaming. In fact, learning how to become fully lucid in dreams may actually help you, as it generally brings with it a greater knowledge of the sleep state and greater control over your body as you sleep. |

Goals:
1. Attacking my enemies instead of running away from them~ Ultimately taking control of my dream situation.
2. Remember that I can always summon a shield around me to protect myself in dreams. No need to fear!
This doesn't sound like a dreaming issue, it sounds like a sleeping issue. Dreams shouldn't make you tired, they're all in your mind. |

This statement is FALSE, Dreams can make you tired. It is your mind that gets tired. Your mind do need to rest at times. If you over stimulate your mind your mind will get tired. Everyone who has a jobb that requires constant alertness and awareness gets tiresome after a few hours. Keeping such concentration for hours is tiresome. And it does project onto your body. |

Your right....FA is correct. What causes this FA experience. I think it is horrible. |

I've always thought of insomnia as the inability to sleep. I sleep all night, but I always wake up to roll over. I wake up just enough to roll over and then go right back to sleep, most often continuing the same dream. I can also get up out of bed, get a drink or something, and when I go back to bed, the same dream starts just where I left off, even if I really try to shake it. |

It's true that a over stimulated mind can make you tired, but lucid dreams is like a normal dream, it's just that you are AWARE of that you are dreaming. In every single dream you controll them but it's your subconcious thats controlls them. |

Goals for lucid dreaming: [X] Get my first lucid, since I starte lucid dreaming again. [] Posses somone. [] Go GTA style on the streets. [] talk to my DG again
I think it is a sleep disorder as well. Either way I somehow feel like hypnotherapy could be used as a cure/treatment. O_O |

I kind of know what you mean. I had an intense lucid dream lasting what seemed like about an hour dream time, maybe about 25mins normal time about 2ish this morning after drifting off unexpectedly before the bed time rituals that usually set you up for a deeper sleep. I won't bore you with the details but flying around above a huge indoor pool for a lot of it! |
|
Doesn't too much sleep also cause you to feel really tired in the morning? I have never felt sleep deprived just because I had lucid dreams. |
|
Definitely man! I think the golden sleep period is about six-seven hours. Any amount over that you may as well subtract from this goldilocks duration. I can't put my finger on why I'm usually more tired after a playground of a night. Its not usually to do with having slept for longer. But I know what you mean Chloie - dreaming of being at work, then falsely awakening and going to work, then finally waking up properly and going to work for the third time that day. Ideal excuse for a duvet day sicky, spent dreaming about being at work probably. |
