New here C:

I've been dream journalling for 7 days (I've got lots of details and memories of the dream but so-far no "realistic" moments I've had, I've had 1 small lucid dream, it was semi-realistic because I could feel my stomach butterflies when I flew but when I woke up (I had 3 false-awakenings first e.e and I lost lucidity) I realized how unrealistic it actually was... Kind of disappointed because from how you guys describe it it seems life-like. The reason I got into this is because I had a 50 second lucid dream 2 years ago where I got up, banged my head against the wall because I knew I was dreaming but everything in my room was exactly the same so I wasn't sure, I looked out the window and I saw a purple moon, suddenly I woke up. But that dream, the memory was crisp and clear like it actually happened, the semi-realistic feeling wasn't there, and that crisp clear memory is still here till today. Well, I've only been at this for 7 days, I have sleep paralysis almost every night (with no hallucinations luckily just extreme vibration/tingling) but I hope I can achieve that real feeling again.

Thanks for having me people/replying reading this,
Demokan.

O and I'm 15, hello my elders C: please bequeeth me with your experiences~!

Hey Demokan, welcome to DreamViews! :D

Yeah, some dreams are more vivid/realistic than others for various reasons. Dream journaling definitely helps with recall and vividness. There are also things you can do in the dream to increase the vividness and anchor yourself in the dream more. For example, examining your hands and your surroundings and touching items or parts of the environment. You can also shout commands like "Increase vividness"/"Increase clarity"

By sleep paralysis do you mean the condition?

See you around the forum~ ^^

Well I experience Sleep Paralysis on a daily basis, thanks so much for replying, I'll definitely keep posted on the forum.
