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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Yeah I think this is it, some people don't dream vividly and assume that's how everyone's dreams are.
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 😆
