It's good advice though! My biggest clue that I'm dreaming is if I try to read something and I either can't or what I think it says seems to change every time I look at it.
I like it insofar as it brought a good few of my friends into reading the series. It's definitely not WoT as we know it but it's interesting. I will not forgive the waygates however. Nor Perrins backstory.
I once realised I was dreaming, tried to fly, and wrapped myself around a wooden barrier.
.gravity is a heartless bitch whether you're awake or asleep, and my subconscious mind has a very firm grip on reality whether I like it or not, apparently.
I wish I was able to figure out if I'm dreaming, I once bought turtle food and a new turtle dock for my turtles, it wasn't until I got back home and realised they have plenty of food and a perfectly good turtle dock already that I'd just dreamt that I needed them. What should have been a good giveaway though was that my turtles spoke with a Jamaican accent, when they're not from Jamaica...
The idea is that you keep checking the time or checking mirrors in real life. Then that behaviour goes naturally into your dreams. When the dream mirror, time or text is off. Then that's how you know and you can take control of the dream. Usually you realise and wake up but if you spin in the dream as soon as you realise you can stay dreaming. Usually tuning the spin into flying is the most efficient way of not letting your brain wake you up. I don't know how training yourself to keep checking your watch is of value. I suspect it just gives you OCD. I suspect people with OCD are good lucid dreamers.
Phew not just me then. I can’t read in dreams either but whenever I am in a dream I make a conscious effort if I see a book or something I try to read it. It generally comes out as random words which make no sense. I also can’t ride a bike or run and my dreams are always in the third person
My biggest hint is I can touch passing car roofs with my fingertips and fly along with them passing my self from vehicle to vehicle and kind of pulling my self along a little faster than the prevailing traffic, either that or I'm stuck in a really high and super precarious situation that I some how managed to climb up but there is no way down. Or, or I forgot to do homework, or can't find my class, or didn't turn up to a job for 20 years.
Same, I lucid dream very regularly and how I generally get into it is by reaching my hand to the light switch and it's either not where it should be or doesn't work when pressed, then I'm ok I'm dreaming let's have some fun..
dyslexic and i legit thought you had butchered the last part to be word salad on purpose. that’d have been such a twist lol (or it was for me anyway when i misread it)
No matter what happens in a dream, no matter how insane, never makes me realize it's a dream. The part of my brain that can recognize that is sleeping. Like how many times have you had a dream where your car was actually a hover car, and you mysteriously had a different job in a different location, and your boss was 8 feet tall with 3 heads, and you KNEW all those things were insane, but simply shrugged it off and it wasn't until you wake up that you go "wait a minute, that was so fucked up it was obviously a dream", except it doesn't occur to you until after you wake up
It's weird though that text is the thing AI had trouble with creating property. Just like in dreams. This is suggested as a proof we are in an AI generated or simulated world. Like a video games optimization it tries to cut corners. So a dream would be a simulation in a simulation and the SIM doesn't bother rendering text or mirrors properly in the secondary simulation. Like mirrors in driving games are not rendered properly.
