What Happened?

[Namaste]

Here is an excerpt from my dream journal:

"Was in a house a bit like a house in a Sims game (Isometric). I was walking around and doing everyday things. I went into the bedroom and there was a huge king sized bed (The view went 1st person) Sitting on the bed were two young women with long blonde hair. I thought, "I must be having a lucid dream" (However, this all came out in recall when I woke up, I don't remember becoming concious or having any of the body sensations the last time I thought I was LDing). I thought as long as I am having an LD I should create something. I tried to think of something to create but I couldn't. I could only think of creating more women.

So I imagined the basic form of a woman in my mind and tried to crystalise the image into a real form. It worked. I changed the colour of her hair to brown. I decided to keep on creating so I did the same thing with another 7 women. Changing the hair colour of each. The first woman created was quite good but by the eighth they were starting to get bad. I had 10 women on the bed but decided to try to create one more. The creation turned out to be a bald headed man who was badly formed and who started to disintegrate very quickly (not a pretty sight). He got behind me and I was worried he was going to touch me."

Was I having a Lucid Dream or was I dreaming I was having a Lucid Dream???

If I was dreaming I was having a Lucid Dream wouldn't I have been very likely to realise it as it was a pretty direct thing to happen. I have had vague clues that I have been dreaming before like, DILD Cakes, a book The Oniernaut by Michaela Laberge and the Lullaby Bus Company. Could I have become Lucid and been concious but forgotten that and just recalled the dream later when I woke up?

Any ideas welcome. 2 months since I started Dream Journal, still trying to get a proper LD.

Thanks.
Gary.

hmmm tough question. It's hard to answer not actually having had the dream myself.
From my experience I think that you were dreaming about being lucid. I also believe this to be a very low level form of lucidity.
The way you describe the dream sounds very similar to The Sims (changing characters hair etc) Do you play this game? If so you were probably influenced by it.

.

I have had dreams about being in a Lucidity Institution, watching a move based on Stephen Laberge... I also remember reading a sign stating 'Lucid Dreams may case eye ache and severe stomach cramps' To which I instantly got eye ace and stomach cramps but I don't become lucid. I think that these are just non lucid dreams created by your interest in lucid dreaming. I always wake up kicking myself for not noticing though.
