A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In the last few days, I have lucid dreams almost every night, but I also wake up midnight and then fall asleep pretty easily again so I basically use WBTB without noticing it. Still can't control it and I really should start keeping a dream diary again. The dreams were incredibly vivid and I still remember actually walking and the feeling of touching things.

Just today I had a lucid dream and looked at my phone to tell the time. Then I remembered this post and thought "ha, I can use my phone in dreams"

I just always forget to stabilize my dream and wake up when closing my eyes.

Awesome :) I used to lucid dream all the time as a kid, it was amazing. It seemed to stop as I got older though I'm sure if I practiced I could get it back.

My dreams are always incredibly vivid and clear, and long though. Last night my dream was over a week or so in dream time ๐Ÿ˜†
