Thread: Lucid or not?

I am having the same issues, I have had 3 lucids so far and all of them are like what you described... I have control in the dreams but i feel very out of touch with everything even after spinning/yelling clarity etc. When I wake up I remember the dreams but I feel like everything is hazy.

I think that this has to do with dream recall and just overall practice.. I have noticed that my last lucid was much longer than my first 2 and a bit clearer. I am assuming we just need to practice more and work on interacting with the environment to get the feel of the dream before we go off flying (which is what I seem to always do right away)

If you know you're dreaming then it's lucid, it doesn't matter if you can control it or not as long as you know that you are dreaming.

Practice more and read tutorials about dream control. Also tell your self what to do if you become lucid in a dream so you will know what to do when you get lucid.

Spam the reality checks, stabilizing techniques( I do the nose pinch for RC and focus on something for stabilization.... Never stop doing those and you shouldn't question your ludicity.

sirs, I never had a lucid dream...
my big problem is that when I say "this is a dream" or when I Check the reality...I already feel like I don't have control of my body, of my actions, like I still being an espectator, like I still unconscious...
I think, now listen to me carefully..I think that when I say "I'm dreaming" I just said it but without too much sense, like I weren´t already conscious of what I said...

What I'm trying to say it's that I have never had the same conscience as I already have now...the same feeling....
I have never felt really lucid....
If I were lucid I didn't have to get this doubts

what do you think know?

if u use this RC u'll see its a LD 100%,atleest thats how it is with me,tho almost every LD i had was similar to ur own,make ur self use the RC where u shut ur nose with ur hand,then try to breath,it will deffinetly tell u the u r lucid and u'll realise it for real

I did it, but I still can't "awake" on the dream..
anyways...probably I'm very near of having lucid dreams, don't you think?

mmmm, trying to explain it...
In the dream I say "this is a dream" but I say like I can say "I like bananas"
Do you understand? In not aware of what I am really saying =)

I'm sure you're aware of it, but can't really feel the awarenes feeling you had now that you're awake. If you say that you like bananas you know that you like bananas or you are just saying it but you still know the thought of it. If you say you're dreaming you know you are dreaming. So no matter how you twist and turn it, it was a lucid dream. Probably a low level of lucidity.

ok, thank you...

in this type of dreams....when I say "I'm dreaming" if what is happening is what you are saying, neko-san...the main problem is that the lucidity lasted 1 second, and the dream continued, non-lucid of course...

but thank you anyways...
