I have some questions that i want to ask everyone who has actually had a lucid dream.

1) How does it feel(compare/contrast to the wake-world)? Does it feel the same as actually being awake?

2) I just started training myself recently and i noticed that the biggining of these dreams is easy for me to produce... i notice that i never get too excited but i always end up losing control of my lucid dream. Help?

3) Could this have a \"wake\" effect on me? for example... sometimes i know i am awake, but it FEELS as if i am dreaming. I try to fly or do some other things but nothing..

1) It feels just like the waking world, but after waking your recall can make things seem fuzzy.

2) Dont get too excited. Its a known fact that getting excited makes you wake up. Calm down, and smile and then do something awesome. Like, make a cake explode in the faces of a gazillion people that just happened to be on the street while you went lucid. After that, procede as you see fit

3) Do reality checks all the time, especially when you think there's something weird going on. You might just really be in a dream!!!

Welcome to the forum CruZ!

1) In my experience, which isn't extensive.. when i wake up everything seems like it was fuzzy, but thats because I haven't reached the stage where everything feels like the real world.

WELCOME!!!!!!

1. It can feel just as real as the waking world, sometimes even more, it depends on the level of lucidity. Sometimes I just become lucid because something seems weird/different in a regular dream, and when I become lucid it all becomes much more clear....

2. Keep on practicing, this is very common in the beggining. To be honest, I am still having this problem many times, when I am trying to WILD. I start seeing a situation and getting myself involved, but I keep pulling out for some reason...

3. CT gave you good advice, perform a reality check everytime that you get this feeling, just in case....

Yeah getting excited screws the hell out of me! I've been practicing for a while and only once did I actually stay lucid for a good time. Guess you just gotta chill out and think it through before really jumping into it...
