Lucid or not?

[Mariano]

I'm very dizzy... Very Dizzy... this is what happened to me: I had a lot of dreams in which I said "i'm dreaming!". In which I did RC, like looking at my hands (I had 6 fingers, deformed hands) In which I "controlled" the dream, and I did lots of things(like flying, telekinesis...) but the problem is that I have never went REALLY CONSCIOUS.. so I'm dizzy for that... for example, last night I dreamed this: "I'm in the street, then I look at my hands and I have 6 fingers...that's impossible, so I say..-I'm in a dream!It's obvious that I'm in a dream- and it's like I'm trying to went concious of my situation.....* Then I wake up....for real...and I see that I wasn't really concious....so...what happened?" the problem is that I don't really know if it was a lucid dream or not! because in the dream I feel lucid... but inmediately when I wake up, I understand that I wasn't really lucid..just a "false lucid" state...in which I control things....but not COMPLETE CONCIOUS... And I also do reality checks in the dream which result a failure(I mean, if I pinch my nose, I can breath through it), but I can't escape from that "false lucid" state....of that non-lucid state.... 1)what can I do? How can I stop this? 2)¿when I sleep, my inconcious is working, alright?¿but when I got lucid....it's a combination of concious and inconcious? how is that? I readed the definitions but I can't simply get the idea....I mean...I know that I'm dreaming...but...and then??? thanksss bye

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 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?

[Mariano]

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 =)
