Thread: No More Doubts: What's A Lucid Dream?

I see two problems here, one, it demands an high level of lucidity to count it as sucess, not much a problem, its the choice of each person anyway.
The real problem is the false lucid part, it doesn't matter how much lucid you may be, if there is the possibility of it being false, some people may think even the most lucid dream will be false, which would hurt newbies who aren't that good at the start (or newbies in general) and kill completely all the motivation. That, in my opinion, is an huge problem when trying to define LD.
Thats just a small part of it, but it will be unfortunate for the ones that get caught in it.
Other than that, I like the explaining.

Good points, Mariano. I think it was a rough draft. You could probably trim it down and say just as much.

If this Consciousness doesn't switch to ON, then, you are NOT lucid...
We can say that DOUBT is a crucial point. DOUBT = FALSE LUCID DREAM

I believe that is correct.

Definitions of Lucid Dreaming on the Web:
A lucid dream, also known as conscious dream, is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that he/she is dreaming.

A true experience should be undeniable. Much like the difference between watching a documentary and actually having experienced the events documented. You feel the experience resonating off of you. There is no doubt.

I agree that there are false lucid dreams. Because we understand the idea of Lucid Dreaming so well, we imagine we have one. But it's not the same.

There may also be crappy lucid dreams. My experience shows if I go to sleep kind of late, and wake up late, and if the lucid dreams occurs around 9-10 AM, I have very crappy lucid dreams. I know that I'm dreaming, but I feel very anxious, unsettled, without well-being. Probably due to oversleep or lack of sleep the previous night. They are still somewhat enjoyable, but nothing worth my time and patience to attain. My body and brain need good food, and good sleep, to have good lucid dreams. The best ones occur before the sun is up. The best ones are breathtaking experiences.

Newbies should not feel discouraged. Although it seems a solid wall, the wall of sleep is not too thick, and consciousness can break through.

You will know when it does.
