I was feeling very alert in my dream and I had this nagging feeling like I was dreaming but everything seemed so real and “normal” so I told myself to reach out and touch something to see if I could feel it. I’m not sure what really happened then but I was still convinced that I had to be awake and that I couldn’t be dreaming! Then I needed to relieve myself and I just told myself to hold it.. just in case it was a dream, and then just in case I really needed to go to the toilet I tried really hard to wake myself up. It didn’t work because I already felt so alert in this altered state that I just didn’t know how to wake myself up.
Anyway the point of this goal is to lucid dream so I’ve got to think what I want to dream about.
