Hello everyone,

I came across this forum when I was searching information about lucid dreaming. I think I’ve had some lucid dreams but I wake up very quickly. I always have the feeling that I ‘have to break free” of my dream. If I only suspect I’m in a dream, nothing happens. This has sometimes led me to believe that my dream was reality. When I’m absolutely sure and I truly believe I’m in a dream I can do more things, but still I can’t control everything.

The past few lucid dreams I had were very peculiar. It was like my dreams didn’t want me to find out I was in a dream. When I suspected something, a character told me I was being ridiculous. Also I tried to look at my phone to see the time because I know time acts weird, but my phone didn’t work so I couldn’t see the time. After I realized I was in a dream the character became hostile.

In another dream I was in a classroom with other students and the teacher was saying something exactly the same as my real teacher had done at school. Because of this I realized I was in a dream and then the rest of the class clapped their hands and congratulating me on finding out. However it was sarcastic. They were making fun of me. So I wanted them to be quiet. But I didn’t have much control. Instead of being quiet they put their index finger on their lips and said:”SSSSSSSH”. So I’m wondering why are my dreams making fun of me and why couldn’t I control them?

I’ve also noticed that I have a lot of false awakenings. One time I even had 3 in a row!
