They can be either! Sometimes you can have dreams that are murky and unclear, other times as vivid and so full of clarity that, if not for the situations, they could be indistinguishable from real life. That said, whether the dream is blurry or clear does not play into what is classified as a Lucid Dream, only whether or not you are aware that its a dream. |

No sense of awareness and no nagging feeling or anything not being right. Everything felt like it was in place. In that dream earlier I was telling this man that if the cap of his water bottle sticks to the table then he is lucky. I don't know why I said that or how I came up with that but it just felt you know... right. Maybe I wasn't close. I'll try again tonight, any suggestions? |

Attempt reality checks from now until you go to bed. Can you think of any common themes between your dreams? If so, try and put yourself into situations over the next few hours involving them or something similar and do regular reality checks. Otherwise, just try a check every 1-2 hours. Basically, think of it as a 'cram for exam' method of developing a reality check habit for tonight. |

Unfortunately that doesn't really sound close to a lucid dream to me. But don't worry, they are not hard to have with a little effort. The most important thing is doing reality checks as often as you remember. If you do this enough you are bound to do it once you are in the dream and then you can become lucid. |
|
But I have no control in my dreams. Like I can't move my hands, they are moving for me. It's like a movie where there's a girl checking the closet for the source of the strange noise but you know the killer is in there and you can't do anything but watch. Does the constant reality check eventually happen in dreams where you have no control? |
|
That's the idea. |

Ok so for my first dream of the night I was in front of a strangely colored castle. It was similar to the ones I make in a program called Bryce. Since all models in Bryce never look realistic I somehow made the connection that I was in a dream. I didn't have much control but the castle turned gold and at that point I yelled out that it was a dream and felt like real excited |

I had a dream that I was doing a math problem in school and after that I blacked out for the rest of the night |
|
Unfortunately school is over. Is there anything I can do to compensate for that? I am doing reality checks every hour (Looking hands/clocks/pinching nose/poking palms). Mantas seem to never work but I do them occasionally before I sleep. |
|
Is the school nearby? Perhaps you could take regular walks past it. Do you still have the book bag lying around? Do a check every time you see it. Even just doing a check whenever you think about something related to school can help. |
