Imagine doing this but then having to stare at the main menu for 8 hours lmao
The second I realise I’m dreaming I wake up.
I think it’s because the second I am some level of conscious the deep rooted anxiety starts again and jolts me up 🙂
Try spinning around in place in the dream! Sometimes it can help keep me dreaming cause I focus on my dream body and not my asleep body
At least you don’t go through a series of false awakenings when it happens. Those are generally not the most fun, since at best they ruin lucid dreams (it’s sort of a way for your mind to go back to sleep, and typically resets your awareness of being in a dream), and at worst it fucks with your sense of reality big time.
That’s why I don’t nap anymore… I lucid dream sometimes, but usually not with naps. Those are just hyper realistic emotion bombs with full physical sensation.
So one day I was having one of my awful nap dreams, and it was super negative, so I decided to wake up. So I did. And then I realized I was still sleeping, and tried again… Dozens and dozens of times, every trick I could think of. I could feel my actual body unable to move (thanks sleep paralysis!), and I kept cycling back to dreaming, starting the whole thing over again.
You should try flying instead.
Nothing scary than real life.

That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I’ve heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it’s supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.
It seems that what this person’s friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!
My nightmares always turn into semi lucid dreams, it’s like “this is so horrible it must be a nightmare” and then I can choose to just nope out of sleeping.
My old man taught me that telling someone one is having a nightmare stops it from coming back. I’ve found that just saying it out aloud works as well.
I’ve used it quite a few times throughout my life, never fails. It’s supposedly pretty eerie for others though when I just sit up in bed in the middle of the night, proclaim “I’m having a nightmare” and then promptly going back to sleep.
Even if you are aware you are in a dream it can be difficult to control it, at least in my experience. More like I wake up on a roller coaster but I’m not sure if its a fun one or a scary one yet, but I can choose to stay and see how it goes.
That’s hilarious because I’ve done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.
Dude i kept having fucmin dreams where i kept getting shot and my red health and blue armour would appear in my vision, and go down. Then I’d try to look at my watch to quit to menu, but it would be blown up just sitting there on my wrist blackened and falling apart so I had ti ride it out and die.
It would be me on the ground and then the grenade landing in front if my face and then going BANG that woke me up and got me out of there
That’s crazy. I have told that story to a couple people and they just looked at me like I’m nuts.
You know what’s even weirder? My name is Matt too 🤯
Are you cool though?
I’ve been waiting since I was like 12 to tell that story to someone who would get it, and when I read your comment, I thought “Finally today’s the day!”
No way! It’s always great to meet another Matt. Hey Matt!
Funny stuff. I would use it as a sort of dream test as well. If I could open the menu then I knew it was a dream. If it was an OK dream I’d just go back to it. Hasn’t happened in a long time though
Cooler Matt or regular temperament Matt?
I’m pretty even-keeled most of the time so I guess ChillMatt
Awesome ! mine is blinking real fast, it wakes me up in about two seconds of in-dream time.
I roll my eyes up until the “pain” and my eyes open.
Try it, roll your eyes up as much as you can, your eyes will open slightly.
Super power unlocked!
I remember in middle school I’d always come home with the worst headaches but then I’d just imagine what I did today and select what’s important and what’s not as if they were files in file manager and drag what I didn’t think was important to the recycling bin. It worked too
I remember the first time I woke myself from a bad dream. I was pretty young, and in my dream I was being chased by a monster and I suddenly realized that it was a dream and I could chase the monster back. So I turned around (in my dream) and started to chase the fucker.
I recall waking up laughing.
Lost and ragequit so many times that he related anguish to quitting out through the menu xD
