      Semi-lucid: Any Advice

      So after all this time; I finally had a lucid experience, or at least semi-lucid.

      I was in a dream at my old high school; only it looked completely different, and I was floating everywhere. Immediately I thought to myself "Wait... I AM FLYING, SO THEREFOR I AM DREAMING" I did a few reality checks, all of which proved to me that I was NOT dreaming {I WAS DREAMING THOUGH}

      I then approached my friend James who was in my dream and said to him "I am dreaming so why aren't I in control"
      He apparently did not hear the entire sentence. His response was "Of course you are dreaming, YOU ARE FLOATING!"

      This odd experience has left me a little bit baffled, anyone have a similar problem?

      Thanks in advance.

      How vivid was the dream? What usually happens for me is that I don't become 100% lucid if the dream is not vivid enough. In fact, working on increasing dream vividness was what helped me the most with having lucid dreams.

      Well the dream started out vivid, and when i did the nose pinch reality check realised i was dreaming. I can't remember what i did but the dream started to fade away because i got too excited.

      I can't be sure if i have done the nose pinch RC in a dream since then, but i have been doing the nose pinch every five minutes today so i will update you if i have a lucid dream tonight.

      In my first (induced) lucid dream I also did a Reality Check that accused me of being awake. We need to learn not to take Reality Checks for granted. What you want to extract from RCs is that questioning of "am I dreaming right now?". That questioning is enough to make you aware, whether if you are awake or dreaming.

      That said, best of luck tonight

      How did the dream end? Did you enjoy it?

      I remember looking down the street my house was on, but the dream faded away and ended when i looked down the street. And i did not enjoy it, but i am sure i was lucid though.

      Ha, my questions were more directed for the OP. Anyway, looking around doesn't seem to be your most reliable method of stabilization (nor is it mine). Next time you realize you're dreaming, get your dream body involved. Slow down. Rub your hands together, feel the ground, feel your footsteps and your breath. This makes it easier for you to remain in the dream.

      It seems like the only reason you didn't enjoy it, was because it was so short. But really, having a lucid dream at all should be something to be joyous about!

      Some LDs seem to be low quality from their nature. I think late REMs give better quality LDs. However, next time you have an LD, try to tell yourself that you are dreaming and really mean it, say that all what you see is a creation of your mind. Dont think of your sleeping body though. Rub your hands may help too. Also slow down a bit and keep reminding that this is a dream etc. I've read people doing some maths; personally never tried it, but sounds smart a method of waking your mind even more. Good luck.

      All of these are great things that I'll consider.
      I was using the RC of attempting to push my fingers through my hand.
      The nose pinch sounds more plausible though; and I may just spend tomorrow pinching my nose every five minutes.

      The dream was maybe 55/100 lucid, hopefully that scale gives you a good idea. My peripheral vision wasn't actually in my sight; more like I just knew that it HAD to be there... once again; I hope that makes sense.
      The dream was also very short.

      Do any of you know any techniques for increasing the vividness of dreams?

      Thanks again

      ... nose pinch ^_^ lol
