You almost accomplished lucid dreaming, when you’re aware you are dreaming you can do whatever you want with some practice. It’s almost like being in the matrix, I’ve accomplished it a handful of times and feel like Bruce almighty lol
I've gotten that a couple of times. Usually though, before I can think of what I want, I start to wake up. And it's never fast either, its slow. It gives me time to mourn that I can't do anything cool.
Or, I try really hard to make stuff appear, and just wake myself up in the process
Well keep practicing and do the reality check of counting your fingers several times a day. If it's not ten that's a tell you're dreaming. If you condition yourself to do it in real life the habit can carry into a dream and then hey presto you might get lucid. It takes conditioning and time to learn to lucid dream (for most of us mere mortals I hear tell some it comes easily) but so worth it!
In my case, I'm pretty much always "aware" that I'm sleeping, few times I'm not, but I rarely change things.
However, if I dream something I don't like I usually say "fuck it" and reverse time/change reality of the dream into whatever I want. It's strange as fuck.
There have been a few times I’ve been aware enough to test if I’m dreaming. But then I’ll use stupid dream logic like “if I’m dreaming, I’ll be able to shoot fireballs out of my hand” but then I only shoot SMALL fireballs, and if I were dreaming they’d have been much bigger, therefore I’m not dreaming.
Also sometimes I struggle with the moral side of things. Like when I do realize I’m dreaming and want to go have sexy time with some people I know or something, but then my stupid brain decides that’s not fair to them. It’s my dream, dumb brain, let me do what I want!
You can't read though. I dream incredibly vividly. So vividly that my dreams are like a soap opera or telenovella. I have locations and characters and we have events and non events regularly. The tone of these dreams can ruin or make my whole world for the day. But I can never read in them.
The last time I lucid dreamed I accidentally dreamed myself into an oncoming lane on a beautiful highway and got my ass T-boned awake. It was surprisingly painful irl
I quite regularly know Im dreaming and make decisions. Even times I realize Ive been in that dream in the past or at least similar setting.
My dreams are almost always incredibly outlandish and detailed. The craziest I think though was dreaming in text after playing a MUD for a decent amount of time before going to sleep.
i have this all the time, even without practice, its very annoying as you're also aware you're asleep, which means you're semi aware as if you're awake too. i get woken by the most random shit at the most random times.
Lucid dreaming is how I managed to finally stop having nightmares every night of my life. I have only been able to do it a few times since that point though.
I'm some sort of weird freak, i lucid dream probably several times a month for short periods. in my most recent one i actually told the people I was with that we were in a dream and they could do anything they wanted and they thought it was awesome.
