A lucid dream I wasted arguing with a stranger

25 July 2026

Knew I was dreaming within about ten seconds and then spent the whole thing trying to convince a man at a bus stop that he was not real. He was extremely patient about it. Woke up annoyed with myself.

  • confusion

They would like: Personal thoughts

What the dream brought up for you. Not what it means for them.

    This is the funniest use of a lucid dream I have read. The patient bus stop man is doing a lot of work here.

      He was so reasonable about it. That is the part that has stayed with me.

Before you respond

  • No diagnosing. Not their mental health, not their relationship, not their body.
  • No certainty. "This might connect to…" rather than "this means…"
  • Nothing that predicts a death, an illness or a disaster. Ever.
  • No encouraging paranoia about someone in the dreamer's life.
  • Say which tradition you are drawing on, if you are drawing on one.
  • Content warnings on anything graphic.
  • Personal belief is welcome. Personal belief presented as established fact is not.

Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
