Thank you so much. You help me alot.

I'm glad we were able to help. Sometimes, all it takes is the awareness that these things are possible, and suddenly, you'll start recognizing them! I have caught a few INRALDs, once I knew they were a thing that happened.

This is great! I thought i was the only one this happened to. I tend to get INRALD's when i've gone to bed with a headache or i'm just not feeling so good, and the pain accompanies me through the dream, but it's more dulled than when i finally wake up. Maybe the pain has something to do with it?

Interesting possibility. Not feeling well might make you more aware than you would be otherwise, which could help you realize you're dreaming. Pain could partially activate parts of the brain that normally are inactive while dreaming.
