The layers Of Lucid Dreaming
So before anything is said, majority of this information was introduced to me by Reece jones in one of his lucid dreaming videos. I'm posting what I have learned here to see what you all think about it.
Layers
Each layer has a major and minor version of itself. Obviously the minor would be the lesser of the two.
Layer 1
Minor: So this one is rather boring, basically you become lucid and You are startled that you ARE lucid and you startle yourself back to the waking world. Not much else to it.
Major: like layer one minor you become lucid but instead of waking into the physical world you "wake" to a false awakening and is a new dream entirely
Layer 2
Minor: you realize that you are dreaming but you don't exactly understand the implications of this. In other words you dont comprehend that you have the ability to do whatever your imagination pleases therefore you don't have the ability to do whatever your imagination pleases. This layer may also seem like your watching a movie or like you have the "omniscient" point of view and everything is usually blurry and (insert antonym for "crisp")
Major: this is basically the same as layer 2 minor except that the dream characters appear to be more aware than you. Like a dream character may say "remember back there in the living room? Well that was a dream!" but you may not care enough to see if you still are dreaming.
Layer 3
Minor: so you become lucid, and you understand the full implications of it but you don't have control over the dream because this layer too feels movie like it will also be very vivid and clear and stable. And it feels like The dreams unfolding before you. The dream characters although appear to think they are real but you understand they are a facet of your imagination. The important part is that you unwillingly are put in the "movie" feeling and you are guided through the dream
Major: the same as layer 3 minor but the dream characters know they are not real and you are willingly letting the dream guide you. You are letting yourself be directed. Usually this is the best way to have your subconscious "communicate" with you
Layer 4
There is no major or minor because this is the "100%" lucidity layer you are the director you control what happens
I would like to point out that a dream isn't predetermined to be a specific layer. For example if I am at layer 2 minor you can escalate to any higher level at any moment assuming you are able.
