thought i was in a different world

So i had about 3 lucids last night. Its wierd, usually if i have multiple lucids in one night then are all about hte same thing. Like they will start where the other one ended. So i dont know how i became lucid in the first one but that doesnt matter. In the second one i thought that i had just woken up and i was walking around this house that i had never been too but i thought it was mine because all of my family was living there. It was really wierd because i thought that my real life was a dream and that the dream was real life. ( i thought that my whole real life was a dream and i had just woken up to find that i was living a completely different life) so i walk outside and im like this is too real to be real so i said if im dreaming i can fly, So thats how i realized i was dreaming. Then i woke up. The third and last one was after i landed i said that i wanted to meet my dream guide. I walked back inside but it was just my family there. Then i woke up kinda pissed it didnt work.

I have two questions. FIrst has anyone ever been in a dream and thought your real life was just a dream? And two my didnt it work when i asked to meet my dream guide?

I have had dreams where I have believed them to be reality and my waking life a dream. It has only ever happened when I am sick and when I have a fever. It's like the story of the man who wasn't sure whether he was a man dreaming of being a frog or of a frog dreaming oif being a man.

i wasnt sick or anything but it was crazy. I honestly thought my life was a dream

It's crazy isn't it!!!!!! It's amazing that there are so many people with the same experiances! :shock:

Dear Dropout,

In the second dream where you were greatly confused and disoriented regarding your real and dream personas, well, that was not a lucid dream, not technically, because your confession of such confusion discounts any claim that your had any degree of 'lucid' consciousness. Lucidity precludes confusion... that is what the word means. However, you may have still had a very vivid dream.

You know, sometimes it is good to give the Dream Persona free rein. The mistake that many Lucid Dreamers make, which brings on a spate of False Awakenings, is to attempt to entirely usurp Dreaming away from the Dream Persona.

The Dream you had in which you thought that your Dream Life was Real, well that was an experience where you were entirely identified with the Dream Persona. This is healthy enough. In order to have a full integration of Waking and Dreaming Personas, each Persona must have its share of conscious attention.

This may all sound odd, but to get some verification for yourself, try this experiment -- the next time you are in a dream and want to try something, then ask yourself a simple question, as "How many times have I been at this Dream Location?" I suspect you will be inundated with Dream Memories, and not just concerning that one location, but a flood of related memories which will point to the realization that the Dream Persona has a continuous experience, not just existing during a few minutes of dreaming during REM cycles every night, but having a complete and coherent complex of continuous experiences, much like an actual Real Life, but perhaps even more complete because in the Dream Realms there are so many more possibilities, or so much less that is impossible.
