      ...Am I really lucid?

      (Dang I've been neglecting this site...)
      I've read that lucid dreams are soppose to be more vivid than regular dreams.

      I've never used any technique to lucid dream, I just jump in and change things if I want to change anything. I can remember these parts much more vividly than the rest of the dream, but I'm still not sure that I'm lucid. The reason: I'm not quite with it. My frontal cortex does not like to cooperate with me when I'm sleeping.

      The best example of jumping in to change something:

      I then pulled out a box of my old NES games to trade in. I wondered why (lucid thing, where I'm just riding along with the dream.) but continued anyway. He looked at one of the cartrages and said "I'll give you $5 for it." This is when I really became lucid. My responce: "Kirby is worth more than $5!!" or something like that, not sure what my exact words were. I remember his words clearly, though.
      I ranted about the awesomeness of Kirby's Adventure, then he said something like "Ok, fine. $10 then."

      That's all I remember....
      So am I lucid, but on a low level...or what?

      Hmmm. I don't always remember what I say in a lucid dream either, but it's true about having actual feelings like in real life when lucid. So what did you feel when the guy hiked up the price for the game? Were you Mad? Happy? Nothing really? did you feel you had control by that point of your next actions?

      What you are having COULD HAVE BEEN Lucid Dreams, but you failled to fully engage your Lucidity. You really need to take a moment to Focus upon your Lucidity. Instead you have the Lucid Realization but continue on with the ordinary dream with hardly any hestitation at all. yes, you change a few of the minor details of what is an Ordinary Dream, perhaps even enough so that the dream must technically be counted in the Column of Lucid Dreams.

      But your intuition is correct -- Lucid dreams ARE supposed to be more Vivid then ordinary dreams. And they would be if one would take time to focus and center one's self in the Lucidity. But mostly one should stop the Ordinary Dream, or walk away from the activities of the Ordinary Dream. One should then, after a space of Looking at One's Hands (or whatever Centering Exercise), either levitate away or fly away or Spin off to a New and dedicated Dream Scene.

      You see, in most cases the Higher Dream Mind has special Dreams set aside for Lucidity. But one needs to access these dreams. One must discontinue the action within the Ordinary Dream and transition to the Special Lucid Dream Scene.

      You said yourself that you became lucid. Did you know you were dreaming? If you did you were lucid, if you didn't you weren't lucid. It's as simple as that. While, yes, high level lucid dreams can be more vivid than regular dreams, low-level LDs aren't. You probably had a low-level LD. I'm sorry if I come on as being very blunt and harsh about it, but there are so many "am I really lucid?" posts, and this question needs to be answered once and for all. If you knew you were dreaming then YES IT WAS! If you didn't know you dreaming, then it wasn't. It doesn't matter how much control you have. If you know you are dreaming you are Lucid.
