Last night I repeated some mantras before falling asleep. this morning i woke up remembering a ton of dreams but had no lucids. I went back to sleep and kept dreaming several times in a row. I happened to have a lucid dream but don't remember becoming lucid. Just randomly at some point in the dream I realized i was lucid but did not do any RCs or anything. I'm wondering if this was considered simulated lucidity or if it was due to the fact that i repeated mantras before initially falling asleep for the night. Several times in the dream it started to fade and i did all sorts of stabilizing things to keep the dream going such as verbal commands, rubbing my hands together, and just focusing on my surroundings. A few times during the dream everything went black and i was able to succeed in a few dream re-entries. I was in full control of the dream after realizing I was lucid. Just wondering if i technically used the MILD method or if i was just dreaming of being lucid
