Thread: weird experiences.. need some enlightenment

So what I'm wondering is; is this really just all in my head or is there a greater understanding of this dream world that I havent figured out?

I think some lucid dreams are people messing about in their personal subjective subconscious. Other lucid dreamers seem to report that there's an objective consensus reality that you can visit. i.e. it's NOT all in your head, and other people can meet you in the dreamworld and share experiences that you will both remember.

It looks like you had a full on false awakening to LD, so you are probably exploring that vast objective reality.

Frank Kepple and Monroe talked about the dreamworld a lot. Kepple wrote a lot about what was going on in the different focus levels.

Good Luck...

Thanks for your reply, does anyone else have any thoughts or opinions?

I don't know much about objective vs. subjective reality, but I can give pointers on getting stuck.

Try focusing on something nearby and reaching out and pulling yourself out of bed with it. When I make the transition out of WILD into my dream bed, I usually find there is something nearby to grab onto. Or sometimes just focusing hard on an object across the room will make it so I can move toward it just with thought. It's hard to explain, but basically you have to focus on something in the dream to distract yourself from the feeling of your real body in bed. I think it is sensations from waking life bleeding through and telling you that you are still in bed that makes it hard to get out of bed in the dream.
