I recently had another one of those annoying dreams in which I know I'm dreaming, but not REALLY.
I mean, can "pull the plug" when it gets too scary, and sometimes I don't feel fear when I should because I sort of know it's not real.
But I'm NOT lucid!
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Yes, that's me all the time...it's like I know i"M dreaming but I just go along with wherever my dream takes me, that's how i like it. But i'm curious about being ablt to control my dream, but I guess it'll happen when it happens
Sounds to me like you are semi-lucid Timothy. You sort of know that you are dreaming, but have no control over the dream. Even with fully lucid dreams, they are sometimes difficult to control, because things in the other dimension just appear different or out of place, and unless a person is really careful they can waste the greatest part of the dream trying to straighten things up.Quote:

I can control stuff when I'm lucid. In those dreams I mentioned I WASNT lucid. I DID know I could pull the plug before it would be too late...Quote:

I had one like that yesterday. I actually re-entered a dream after waking, and sort-of knew it was a dream, but had no control or anything, and didn't even occur to me to try, until it got scary, at which point I decided to wake up.
i have similar dreams, i like to think of them as fake-lucids because im just dreaming that im lucid and when i wake up its like 'wtf that sucks is that really lucid dreaming?' i almost gave up because all i have are those
