Thread: how real does a lucid dream feel?

Hi,

A LD feels very real i.e. waking life real, hence the reason so many of us are fascinated by them because we can do extraordinary things in such a "real" world. Imagine walking out of your door now and being able to take-off and fly. It's like that.

Mine haven't been that real but I'll take your word for it.

Like WL, some say better but I has yet to experience that <.<

interesting.

so have these been WILD's or DILD's?

and do you recon it is has somthing to do with the 5 senses?

I've had 2 WILDS and 5 DILDS and for me the WILDS were incredibly vivid and more real than life - in one I was in a brown gym, which in real life would have been pretty bland and boring, but in my dream the brown colours were marvelous. In my DILDS it was harder for me to remember everything in details, but I still got some pretty vivid scenery. I think it comes down to recall in my case, but I would say that a lucid dream is incredible lifelike.

Actually in my first WILD I didn't even try to fly because I didn't want to try while people were around me. I actually was just as scared of doing something out of the regular as I am in real life.

Its one of those things we can talk to you about and say how vivid and realistic it is, but really you HAVE to have a solid lucid yourself and be your own judge. Its AMAZING.

Not sure if this helps, but I tried explaining to my best friend what a low,high, and fading LD looked like to give him some idea of the awesome power of the mind. So I just did a few tweaks to a photo I found on the net and showed them to him. Here they are, not sure if it's what everyone sees, but close to mine. Low first, then Full then Fading LD
