When I’m having a dream, I can’t do any kind of reality checks or anything like that. It’s as if the dream is on “autopilot”. Does\did anyone else have this problem, and if so, is there any way to get around it?
I have this problem too. Check my critical faculty topic.
Tonight, in my dream, I saw a name on a piece of paper ; Hannah Gustav
and I thought hey! “Where´s the rest of the name?” (Hannah Gustavsson).
And a lot of other half-complete names.
But I never realized to check my state.
I remembered a few of my dreams last night. In one of them, I was in my bathroom, but it was very dark. I could still see though, and I was fixing one of those tiny mag-light flashlights. Whenever I turned it on to see if it worked, if it turned on, this insignificant item by the sink glowed along with it. I got this nagging feeling that something wasn’t right, but I still went “with the flow”. Still, that’s pretty good (for me, at least) after three nights of trying to induce LD’s.
