      Lucid Dreams Versus Sleep Walking

      As of lately, I've been trying to explain to my girlfriend the excitements and greatness of having LD's, and what they are capable of. She says it makes her nervous that one night I'm going to be sleep walking and jump out of a window and try to fly after convincing myself I'm in a dream while I would actually be in reality. Not that I have any history of sleepwalking but has anybody ever heard of confusing the two?


      I'm your right-hand man but my schemes are left handed. I've got the world on my shoulders, a monkey on my back, my head in the clouds, and my ear to the ground. I've got stars in my eyes, my eyes on the prize, and my nose to the grindstone. A baby face, a glass jaw, a dirty mouth, a harelip, a silver tongue, and a deep throat.

      I don't believe this is possible as dreaming generally occurs during REM sleep when the body is paralyzed so as to prevent said things from happening.
      However, I could be wrong.

      Sleep walking is a disorder where your body doesn't enter REM Atonia (sleep paralysis during normal REM sleep). If you haven't had it before, you aren't going to get it just because you start trying to lucid dream.

      She thinks I am going to awaken one night and think I am LD'ing and open the window and jump out and attempt to fly. She is seriously concerned about this! How do I explain it to her? She doesn't have the internet where she is so sending her here is not an option

      uh, tell her exactly what was posted above you.
      The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.

      I think he's saying he might accidentally confuse real life and a lucid dream. I really can't see that happening (nor have I heard of anything like that), but just in case, always do a reality check before trying anything like jumping out a window.

      Your right, that is what I was saying. RC's are the first thing I do anyway. So I shouldn't have a problem with it. Thanks.
