Thread: how real does a lucid dream feel?

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

Very nice.

I only had one LD, and it was only for a split second. But, the feeling was incredible. I dont know if anyone else get this when they realize they're dreaming, but I felt like I was being pulled into my dream, and entering a completely different body (my dream body)

It was so incredibly real....it was amazing.

Exactly the same as me but my dream was like for 3 minutes

Great analogy

I think we arent 100 % lucid when we are awake so its feaseble, I guess if we try to be more lucid in waking life we will also be more lucid in dreams, its all probably related to awareness or something.

As real as real life. And yes, DILDs are as realistic as WILDs for me. My dreams very often shock me with things I didn't know dreams could do.

My lucid dreams have been convincing before, but I dunno, they are usually quite blurry, even if I have a good grip on the situation. The most vivid one that I had was one in which I shot a firework into the woods and all of the trees lit up like Christmas trees. Those were the most brilliant colors that I had ever seen.

I guess that the reason that my lucid dreams don't seem very vivid is that I am lazy and don't practice dream recall, nor do I do many WBTBs. Instead, I use those hazy morning dreams.

Thanks for the pictures, answered my question perfectly.
