Thread: I'm Dreaming But I'm Not Lucid

You were lucid to a very small degree, I have them all the time, the thing is your subconscous is somewhat in control so it feels like a normal dreaming but with a bit of a lucid feeling to it.

hmmm, so should I just do more reality checks? What can I do to get myself up to a greater degree of lucidity.

remind yourself the next time you relize your dreaming stand still and allow yourself to recognize your true reality, just tell yourself this is all a dream, make sure your 100% focused on the dream, may sound vague but it always works for me.

usualy half lucids like this result in yourself thinking that whatever you do here will have no consiquences in real life, but you don't even know that the dream was created by you, you may want to try and recall things from the waking world like what you did before bed.

right now I think using a mixture of MILD and WBTB, for the MILD part I kind of have a sort of speech I give myself before I go to bed, should I include a little about how if I happen to have the realization that I am dreaming that I should do exactly as you suggest?

It's just wierd I know in the dream that it's dream but I don't have that lucidity. Only after I wake up do I realize how obvious it was and how thickskulled I had to have been to not have become lucid. At least I understand it's not a unique experience.

you can tell yourself to do what I suggested that will definitly help, it is hard to come out of your subconscous state if the fact that you are dreaming doesn't hit you hard enough, the fact that everything was created by you might not have got to you at that point, when you become lucid you have to carefully to draw yourself out of stupidity, and you will find you feel more like your waking self.
