Almost Lucid, But Not Quite There

[cyzzl]

The past few lucids I have had, I have had a weird kind of lucidity where I know that I am dreaming, but I am still in a dream state of mind. this may not make sense so I will try to clear it up. In one, I knew I was dreaming so I knew that I could do out of the ordinary things. During the dream I met up with Jesus from southpark. This oddity didnt really occur to me as weird however and I took it for granted and continued my converstation with him. I will konw that I am dreaming but not notice dream signs I guess is the best way to put it. Different things like this have occured and I was wondering if this will pass as I keep having LDs, or if there is something I can do to clear my mind better so I can realize fully that I am dreaming, and remember all of the potential while Lding. thanks

Well, when I had my first LDs from strange things happening in a dream combined with reality checks that proved I was dreaming, you know what I did? I told everyone around me not to worry, because it was just a dream! I knew that my actions had no consequences, because I was just dreaming, but my mind still didn't understand it completely, or I wouldn't have gone around telling all the dream characters: "Don't worry, it's a dream, we can't get hurt, just have fun!" When I woke up, I laughed pretty hard at the entire thing. :) For me it passed, now all my LDs are crystal clear and I understand that I'm lying in my bed and that everything is just a figment of my imagination. So, yeah, I think it will pass for you when you become more experienced and you too will come to a point where you will not only know that you are dreaming, but also understand what that truly means.
