careful with looking in a mirror while dreaming though, you can see some fucked up shit and ruin your dream

Do we know why there are these constants in dreams such as looking in a mirror, distorted hands, the light switch thing

Can confirm. Had a dream I was sitting in a chair in my room, naked, and the room was flooded with water so that I could put my legs out and they'd float. Eventually I realized it was a dream, and I had trouble moving out of that position. At some point I managed to get up, but when I did I looked at the mirror on the back of my door only to see myself in the reflection, and a floating corpse of myself behind my reflection in the mirror, mouth gaped open and eye sockets empty. Was so freaked I woke up immediately.

I used to lucid dream when I was a kid. Shit was dope. I dunno why I stopped being able to do it. Now whenever I realize I'm dreaming I wake up. It's pretty creepy when it happens to me to. It's like the whole world around me becomes "unstable" and I wake up shortly after. It's like the world falls apart basically and wake up.

Don't sleep, don't move, don't open eyes.

>lucid dream a lot when younger
>always ends with stuff starting to float
Can no longer do it just end up falling asleep and having a normal dream without reality checks of any kind

I wonder why the subconscious is so abruptly against looking at itself. I mean, come on, it should feed into a sort of narcissism since it's your ego, after all. It baffles me that actually looking into a mirror can cause a person's subconscious to go wonky.

I've only lucid dreamed once, and it was by chance. I never even thought of looking in the mirror. Even looking in the mirror in real life gives me the jitters sometimes -- though only when I'm passing by one quickly, not when I'm done after a shower or something.
