I dunno if this i just post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning, but ever since I went on E3, I've been dealing with a frequency of dreams where i figure out I'm dreaming, but can't control my dream, so I try to escape the dream by waking up, only to find I haven't truly woken up, but am in fact still dreaming. I check by pinching my nose and breathing in through my nose and if i can still breath in through my nose just fine (despite it being pinched) I know I'm still dreaming. Took me a while to wake up. I don't like knowing I'm in a dream. I also don't like knowing I'm in a dream, but not being able to do all the cool shit people do when they lucid dream, like fly around, control what happens and generally just take control of the dream.
I can't do that. It feels like I'm just being controlled and have no power in my dreams, and maybe that's something E3 is working on regarding the victim mindset, but I am having this issue and it is yet another issue fucking with my sleep.
EDIT: I have been watching videos on lucid dreaming and how to control the dream and how to safely work on yourself in your dream. I'm not interested in lucid dreaming, but I figure if I'm gonna figure out I'm in a dream, I might as well learn how to control it and make the most of it. Next time I figure out I'm dreaming, I'm gonna work on taking control. When I learn how to control my lucid dreams, then whenever I have a lucid dream, I'm going to work on myself and try to find safe ways of exploring my subconscious. Might as well make the most of it if I'm gonna lucid dream.
