Thread: Lucid Dream?

I remember having a dream like about 4 months ago where I was in school. The teacher gave me a cartoony like unrealistic amount of homework; what I mean is that the teacher gave me like a 4ft stack of books/papers.

I remember that I stood up and said," I don't need to do this, I'm in a dream!"
After that I immediately woke up. I remember thinking to myself about how weird that was to know I was in a dream.

Back then I didn't know what lucid dreaming was, and I do realize that even though I said that, I didn't really feel like a controlled what I said, almost like that was planned in the dream.

Was that a lucid dream? If you simply are able to say "I'm in a dream" in your dream, would that be considered a lucid dream?

Yes, any time you realize that you're dreaming, it's a lucid dream. Unfortunately sometimes you wake up as soon as you become lucid, especially when you first start out or you don't know what lucid dreaming is.

yes, it's a lucid dream.. the other one is dream control if you are able to control

What if you say that you're dreaming but don't become lucid?

That is the meaning of a lucid dream. If you're saying you're dreaming, then surely you know you're dreaming. You don't need to be able to control it for it to be lucid, just knowing it's a dream is lucidity.

There are diferent levels of lucidity, one of the lowest forms is just saying "this is a dream" then just keep going on with the dream. Also, you could have a crapy ld with really good control, you could also have a realy vivid lucid dream with no control.

I would say it is a Lucid Dream. If you train a little, you will be able to stay in the dream, resulting in you cutting your teachers head off with a lightsabre.
