So close...

[T271]

So last night I was having a dream where me and my dad were driving down a dark road when our truck ran out of gas. We walked to a house nearby on the coast, and I noticed that the beach area looked a lot like an area of the island in Arma 3. Thinking it was a bit weird, I did a reality check. First, I counted my fingers and noticed that where my class ring usually was, the finger was cut off. Instead of realizing I was dreaming, I just thought to myself "Oh, wonder how that happened." Then I plugged my nose and came to the conclusion there was another hole in it, letting me breathe. Never realized I was dreaming, hopefully I will have better luck next time.

Good luck! It does sound indeed like you were very very close.

I had few of them to. Really frustrating, but after a while I succeeded so don't give up!

I'm sorry, this was just really funny. I once had a dream where my school had captured Osama bin Laden (I can't remember if this was before or after he was shot, though I think after) and he was tied up in a seat behind me. At some point I did the math reality check. "2+2=6. Duh." But still, the fact that you remembered to do reality checks is a good thing. You're really, really close!

[OpheliaBlue]

Yes, what CNGB said. In your dreams, you're already remembering things from your waking life. Things that you plan on, to help you get lucid. You are not far at all from getting there!

Damn, that must've been frustrating as hell. I've had similar experiences, you just gotta push through them and realise just how close you were! Good luck for your next, you'll be there in no time
