Thread: What does it feel like when you attain a lucid state?

For me it's like a virtual playground. No consequences and nothing bad able to happen. I havn't been really lucid in about 2 weeks. Sucks right. But I do sometimes wake up and feel very awake, if only i had a watch that told time in the dream for real, then wake up with it when i need to go to school. Would be so great.

I really enjoy the feeling of waking up from a lucid dream. Except for the bummer from the dream being over, the feeling of already being awake when your body wakes up it the coolest. It's like when you woke up early when you were a kid and had to wait for your parents to wake up before you could do anything.

I normally feel half asleep in a lucid dream and heavy. i soon wake up due to the excitement as well

Well, for me... Normal, as I've only had a few non-lucid! But as every else said, it's epic. So is dream control!

For me the moment I realise I'm dreaming is usually the best part for me... it is just such an incredible rush. Once I'm there I think to myself that this LD'ing is just so easy.. then I start running around as if I only have 30 secs - usually it last much longer, but I'm in such an urgency to do all sorts of things. I think to mysef that this is great and its better than real life - then when I wake up it seem like a memory 1 month ago - strange... But the one thing i remember best is the realisation of "THIS IS A DREAM!" its greater than GREAT!

oh and when I wake up again I also know that I was lucky and that I may have to wait a week or 2 for the next one...

If you are fully lucid you will feel the transition. It feels like how it feels when you're awake. I guess the best way i can describe mine is by saying its kind of like going from daydream to being snapped out of it. But since it'll be inside your dream it will be awesome.

In dreams I feel like I'm constantly looking passed everything, can't focus.

I've only had one LD and, trust me, it's incredible.

For about 3-4 dreamtime minutes I was in heaven. I have NEVER felt that sort of a rush of excitement, or innocence and awe in the face of something so surreal and completely new.

What was unique about my first LD was that I had FULL lucidity.

I started literally laughing with excitement, and I remembered reading on the forum that you could basically create anything you wanted, so I conjured up a bike to ride around on and decided it wasn't big enough, so I made it bigger.

Initially it was made out of pure semi-transparent energy (can't really explain that one) and I said 'that won't do, give me a normal bike.'
