I had an horrible night tonight… Among other things, I dreamed i was locked in psych ward, trying to escape… And finally a friend helped me to commit suicide… Weird, but it’s not the first time dreams like that have happened.
Throughout this dream i knew i was dreaming…In some may, i could decide what i wanted to do or not, as in real life…It’s what i call “lucid dreams”. But everytime i had these lucid dreams, then I’m suffering from false awakening. I felt trapped in the dream… With no way of escape from it and wake up.
Everytime I try to wake up, i dream i’m awaking in my bed…I think everything is real but then something very weird happens and i realize I’m still sleeping.
It’s like some dream in a dream, a bit like in the moovie Inception:
To wake up i have to kill myself in the dream… But everytime i think it’s gonna be ok, i realize this is another dream again and again…
Maybe one day i’ll wake up no more… In some ways, I hope it will happen like that.
I was wondering…: Do false awakenings happen to some of you? Do some of you know about that?
Thanks!

strangely, after my dog died I had lucid dreams quite frequently for a few weeks. My dreams were primarily about her or a part of the dream involved her. I dreamed about petting her and being with her and rubbing her stomach lol It was so strange, before I had only had 1 lucid dream but these were so intense and surreal. I knew I was dreaming because she was there and obviously she was dead in real life. I remember trying very hard not to wake up in the dream and specifically thinking “i’m so happy I can visit her in my dreams” while dreaming. I guess the whole dreaming about losing a loved one cliche is true. I haven’t had any in a while though, they are very powerful and interesting.
bleh I forgot I temporarily changed my name, my comment is in moderation. I hope you have a good day.
eveery day of my life is a lucid dream/nightmare.. literally.
I would seriously give ANYTHING to having a freaking lucid dream!!! Hell I’ve been trying to have one of those ever since I started college and I never got one. I could practice jumping off very tall buildings or maybe being in duel to the death with someone. I could try learning how to swim. Lol
I never had a false awakening either. 🙁
Well, strange as it may seem, for almost my whole life I’ve been having only lucid dreams.
I think it’s just because I had trouble sleeping since I was a kid, and sleeping superficially made me stay half dreaming half awake.
But the last two years have been the opposite. I sleep so deeply that in the morning all my body hurts. I keep having nightmares, and they seem so real, but I can’t change anything from the dream. So, normal dreams feel so stressing to me…
