Thread: Please Confirm: Was Is Lucid?

A lucid dream is a dream in which you are aware that you're dreaming.
If you realized it was a dream, then it's an LD. I don't "believe" in simulated LDs, there is only one definition... and only two possibilities.

Bonsay has it right. The defintion of a "lucid dream" is simply to realize you are dreaming while in a dream.

Often, people still have nonsensical "dream logic" while lucid. There is a big diffrence between a low level of lucidity and the total control of high level lucidity.

Saying "I'm lucid" while awake, doesn't really make you lucid either. If you knew you were dreaming, then you were dreaming. If you said you were dreaming, but didn't know it/realize it, you weren't lucid.

Once again, I can only reemploy the meaning of lucid:

To know that you are dreaming.

OK, I'll go with you guys. And hey, I wasn't expecting my first LD to be amazingly complex, so I guess it was a good start - albiet boring.

Congratualtions, to me that sounds like you actually did realise you were dreaming and didn't just "dream it". You even seemed to have control which was impressive too.

I suggest that you don't spin next time, they tend to be more hassle then what they're worth!

Yay. Control.

Yeah, from my experience you have to know you are dreaming to be lucid. Recently I've had an unfortunate amount of dreams where I say I'm lucid and end up watching myself dream. Basically dreaming about being lucid.
