How Do I Realize I am Dreaming ?

[zscott09]

Today During a nap I had a crazy dream that after i woke up was so unrealistic it made me mad that i wasnt able to realize this during the dream itself. Can anyone tell me methods that would allow me to come to the conclusion that i am dreaming, so i can then try to become lucid.

Wecome to dreamviews! First of all, coming to the conclusion that you are dreaming, is realizing lucidity in itself. There are several ways you can realize the fact, you could do reality checks through out the day, thus making them a habit and eventually doing one in a dream. That would be classified as a DILD. I suggest a read through This post, it may be a massive read, but I learned everything I needed to from it. I hope that helps! Good luck.

There are many methods here for you to facilitate lucid dreaming, but nothing will happen without a real commitment, and persistent & regular practice.

well during the day u need to have ure mind in gear this means you should look around for anyhting werid and do reality checks and when u sleep just watch out for ANYTHING to do with ld's for example the other day i had a dream i was talking to my mum and she had on her hand do a reality check.

the dreaming brain shuts down it's logic centre, so event he strangest things don't get questions. That is unless you are always questioning your reality, do more reality cheks throughout the day.
