      The other day I thought I was in a dream because my torso was missing when I saw my reflection in a window. Even when I moved. It legit made me jump. Turns out the middle section of the window was open so it was reflecting light from someplace else.

        If you feel like you can think clearly and are questioning if you are dreaming but are unsure, you are not.
        All methods of lucid dreaming aim at making you think clearly and question if you are in a dream. With that thought, it should be quite obvious to confirm you are in fact in a dream. Dreams are really not that good, sleeping is just kinda like a heavy suspension of disbelief.

          This must depend on the person.

          Dreaming is dreaming and being awake is being awake.

          Completely different experiences for me, can’t imagine how someone could confuse them, though people obviously do, so they must be experiencing it differently.

      However I have a slight problem in that I struggle to connect to my mirror image even when awake and sober lmao

      Then again, sometimes it does feel like I’m dreaming when awake and sober so

      Wherever I see weird things in a dream and I’m lucid enough to notice, I just panic thinking that something’s wrong with my brain, followed by doing anything I can to get to a hospital.

        pretty funny how different reactions ppl can have, when i was younger and thought i might be lucid dreaming my first thought would always be to try generating flame in my palm or some other anime move
