    Lucid - Semi Lucid - Not Lucid

    First LD WooHoo !!
    DILD

    So it all started out as a flying dream. Setting was above a local shopping center parking lot... the way I was flying was to kind of like the way a kite works. It's how I used to fly in my dreams as a child before I knew what LD was. So I basically will myself into the air and float up and catch the wind... faster flying usually starts after Ive bin up for a bit but sometimes its an instant take off. Anyway this time I was using a something like a nozzle from garden hose to kind of redirect air flow lols.

    After a little while other people were flying too and I was quite high up and showing off a little. Then my uncle David happened to join me and which was cool because I usually fly alone. I had never seen Dave fly and we don't see each other very often. We started to drift and lower in elevation until we touched down on a nearby hill. While we were walking back I though..(hmm we were just flying.. omg I must be dreaming..)

    So then I decided to test this hypothesis.. rather than remembering to do a typical reality check however I settled on changing something in my environment.. at this time the world was fading and my focus was on Dave.. so .. I said out load "Dave, turn purple" and then he did. It happened fast but not all at once, more like if you put a drop of food coloring into water minus the swirling...anyway I got exited and woke up.

      It's funny when people use the "semi-lucid" term.
      Think about it...Lucid means being aware of something. Lucid Dream means being aware of dreaming.
      How could you be semi-aware of something? -_-
      Anyways LDing in other words is realizing that you are dreaming so you can control everything.
      When you wrote there with green you assumed that you were semi-lucid. How could you have been semi-lucid if you didn't actually realized it's a dream.
      It's just something that happened from your dream. Just because it's not normal it doesn't mean you were dreaming lucid. Or if you prefer semi-lucid.
      You should learn those terms before determining you are or not lucid in a dream.

      BTW!
      Congratulations anyway for your lucid dream.
      Anyways I recommend you to use reality checks. You can never be 100% sure if you are dreaming or is reality in a dream and if you don't do RC's you may lose your lucidity fast.
      It's a good thing you asked David to become purple instead of just imagine it yourself. What you did there was called "passive control". It's better for novices to use passive control so that they won't fade their dreams away.
      When you are excited in a dream try to breath deeply and stay cool so you won't wake up.

      Your correct about the terminology I suppose. Ill see if I can find another word for this feeling.. anyway

      What I meant by semi lucid is that the idea that I was dreaming was beginning to dawn on me. Its like having a suspicion that somethings not quite right though your not sure what it is. When I realized what it was(I was dreaming) I was fully aware of the fact I was dreaming. I was Lucid..
      So not lucid would be no suspicion and semi meant that I was beginning to suspect something.
      Thx for your feedback.
