Reality check I developed is rolling eyes far up. If you close your eyelids and then roll the eyes, you can notice how it lifts them (the eyelids) up a little.
While in REM and actually seeing dreams, you retain eye control, so by rolling your eyes you open them up and effectively wake up.
This allows me to escape most nightmares, good stuff
There is no way to “remember” it per-say, you could only somehow train it to be a subconscious habit, these transfer into dreams. Not sure how I did it with mine, I had developed it in childhood, but I do use this trick even in irl when I’m scared, as a reality check.
I have this recurring thing where I notice things like this when I’m dreaming, and it causes me to wake up in the middle of the night. Except I didn’t wake up. I dreamt that I woke up. Then I often fall back asleep again. I don’t wake up until something’s strong enough to wake me up twice.
Except sometimes when my body really doesn’t want to be awake, I’ll wake up a second time, then a third, then a fourth, and it just goes on forever until I’ve really overslept.
Dreams are what happens if your brain is able to hallucinate without any feed back from reality.
In reality your phone works because there is a living board and software keeping the interaction confined to it’s inner possibilities. Your brain doesn’t have ways to allow for this internal logic and therefore interactions with software never go well.
Notice that is only slightly better in simulating other people. Faces are never consistent, but generally people logic is easier to stimulate, so other people are more convincing.
My wife has this issue all the time and she says it’s her tell for when she’s dreaming. She often uses it as a que to help her lucid dream
my tell is when i snap the rubber bands i usually wear on my wrists… in dreams, i feel nothing when the band snaps against the skin
i had one recently and i tried to make myself fly after realizing it was lucid, but couldn’t lol… i also thought about jumping off a cliff but my brain still said no that’s still a bad idea… my sub-concious is trained i guess
I never understood this. In my dreams phones, tablets, and clocks all work. Like last night I pulled up a world map and zoomed in on Europe on a tablet, and not only did my brain fill in all the countries and even major cities (totally incorrectly as I’m in the US and not that familiar with European geography), but the website even had pop up ads that I needed to close out of to view the map without distractions. I could also Google where vikings originated and pull up a totally normal appearing Wikipedia page. Tech always works just fine in my dreams
I have this recurring dream where I try to show a youtube video to someone but keep misspelling the name on the search bar and got increasingly annoyed by it until I wake up with bad mood.
My thought has always been that it’s not that things like that can’t work in dreams, but dreams are mostly symbolic and you’re more likely to dream about using a phone or something if you have an issue with what it symbolizes. For instance, I personally often dream about trying to call or text my wife, but either the phone doesn’t work, I can’t see the screen, she can’t hear me, or something like that. My guess is that the dream is about my frustration when I can’t communicate well with my wife.
I’ve also had dreams where I was stuck or trapped in something and couldn’t get my phone to work, couldn’t make my voice work to yell, or anything like that, and I figure that it’s because I have real issues asking anyone else for help.
Around 3 years ago I dreamed I overslept and woke up at 6:31. I have to leave home around 6:10 to be on time for work.
That morning I woke up on time, but when I got in my car its clock showed it was 6:31. I didn’t understand how it could be that late and checked the time on my phone. Turned out the car was showing the wrong time, which happened to be the same time as in my dream.
