Thread: Discconected from Dreams

I've felt that in some of my first LDs. I thought, "I'm dreaming! Yea...woo...It doesn't feel like it...". It got better the more I had.

Some dreams you are like a puppet. You get dragged around by the dreamworld, pushed into doing things. Others, you have ability to think, even when not lucid. If you spend time practicing getting lucid, you'll develop clearer thinking, better control, and a lot more engagement with your dreamworld.

Only do a reality check when you notice something 'dream-like', or out of the ordinary.

thanks for the advice. i think i had a very short ld last night, i realized i was dreaming and then imediatly woke up. once i woke up i went back to sleep though so im not sure if the whole thing was just a dream or not... lol im pretty sure i had an ld though. i tried spinning in the dream but it didnt work. o well, hopefully its a step in the right direction
