      No Reality Checks

      I've had plenty of Lucid dreams and I've never done an RC to attain lucidity, I usually start the dream lucid or I'm just like, yea I'm dreaming without signs or RC's. What is this? Also, I have an ok amount of dream control but sometimes I forget that DC's aren't real. I've only had once lucid where I knew DC's were fake. Like one time I was lucid and my mom was there! I was like MOM WERE DREAMING! The dream carried on, then I said Hey mom imma go wake you up lol. So I woke myself up and ran to my moms room and woke her up. She then got mad at me and I just realized that it wasnt possible for her real self to be in my dream and I went back to bed feeling like an idiot. What was this?

      It sounds like you have really good awareness of your surroundings. That's a really good sign!

      Judging by how you didn't understand they weren't real, I'm guessing you weren't completely lucid. That'll have to resolve itself through work :-D

      But I did have an extremely good amount of dream control, I was able to breathe fire, make a jumpscare pop up on my mom that I thought was real, and wake myself up. I just didn't understand she wasn't real because she acted so real, just like my real mom

      This is confidence.

      This was emotional inertia upon awakening. Sometimes emotions will carry over from the dream and it takes you a bit of time to fully realize you're awake.

      I have a lot of dreams where I become lucid and don't do RC's but I find I don't have full control over things unless I do. I have had dreams where I tell somebody I know that we're dreaming but wake up later and they tell me they weren't really in my dream. I believe shared dreams do happen though but likely aren't supposed to. My mom recalls that when she was little she had an extremely scary dream where she freaked out and pulled her sister into her dream to save her. My mother's sister actually remembers this happening, she was asleep at the same time my mother was having her nightmare.

      Strong connections make anything seem possible.

      Hey there,

      For my own dream journal, I make a difference between what I call 'awareness dreams' and 'lucid dreams'. Technically, both are lucid dreams, but in the first, awareness dreams, I am aware of dreaming, evident by certain reactions, like the use of dream control to change obstacles or just things I don't like within the plot, but I don't have the clarity of mind to remember my dream goals and act independantly of the dream plot I'm involved in. When I do have that clarity of mind, I tag my dream as a full 'lucid dream'.

      To give an example. Last night, in one dream, I was in the park, with some dog or small animal as a pet, and a guy who had a bear with him wanted to have his bear hunt my pet. I told him no, and told him if he did so I would simply deal with the bear, knowing I had my dream control at my disposal to change that element. However, I didn't have the clarity of mind to stop the dream plot and go follow my own dream goal. Instead, once the guy backed off, I kept following my route (I was jogging in that dream). So I tagged this one as an 'awareness dream'.

      In a later dream that night, I was at my appartement, where strange steel like cables were taking on a life of their own and snapping and whipping at me in a threatening manner. This activated my lucidity sense (threats are a dream sign for me). I used some dream manipulation to stop the cables from snapping, just so they wouldn't get in my way. Then I ignored the cables and the rest of the dream plot altogether. Remember my dream goal to bring a dream character into the dream, I moved to the nearest door and used a door-trick to act upon my chosen dream goal for that night instead. So this dream, I did tag as a lucid dream.

      Just my 2 cents,
