Thread: 2 second lucid?

and I KNEW I was dreaming

emmm, isn't that enough my friend?
what do YOU think?
it doesn't really care what people answer to you, I mean, people can't say to you if you were lucid or not, when you experience it for yourself, then you will know.
people can only say to you the typical definition, but that's only a definition, you must experience it for yourself.

This is where things can get confusing for people, especially those outside of Lucid Dreaming.

It is like the Ego and the Id. Your body may not contain the essence of your ego in anyway, shape or form. Your ego may simply be the observer. This is YOU. But you, as in your body, would be the Id.

In this scenario, you may have a dream where 'you' say "I'm dreaming!" but YOU do not actually realize it. This is the conflict between dreaming Id ('you') and your dreaming ego (YOU).

The 'conscious you' is what you want to say "I'm dreaming." If you consciously realize you're dreaming, and actually feel as if you are dreaming, realizing that it is as such, then you are Lucid.

Some Lucid Dreams are short and only a couple seconds long. It takes practice to stabilize and hold down a lucid dream.

It's a start.
Keep going.
At first everyone gets a few false starts.

I'm new to the forum but have been lucid dreaming for over 25 years.

You just woke up prematurely. This is normal. You may have just become lucid at the very end of a dream. Sometimes, as you're waking up from a normal dream, you will become slightly more aware, causing you to become lucid. You may have also become too excited, or freaked out by the weird feeling of being lucid.

Here are some good tricks to extend your lucid:
