As I work towards having my first lucid dream, I'm noticing all of the exercises people recommend in order to increase your chances of getting there. It's just simple stuff, like recording dreams, chanting in your head before sleep that you're going to have a lucid dream, and falling asleep remembering a prior dream and trying to continue with it on what you would like to have happened.
And then there's the reality checks.
They say during your normal day, you should check and make sure you're awake. I know it sounds weird, but it's so that when you wake up during a dream, you're able to realize you're dreaming instead of freaking out and waking up. You're suppose to be able to identify how you know you're not dreaming.
Are you aware?
Can you feel?
I just know I'm awake?
I realized though, I'm never really certain that I'm not dreaming. Unless something significant happens, I just sort of walk around in a daze. I forget things that I do. Nothing monumental, just stuff like when I put my keys in my purse, or that I already locked the doors in my car. Or as I'm driving somewhere routine, the car ride as a whole mushes together and I don't remember the journey, I just know I got to where I wanted to get to.
But that happens for everyone. Right?
