Hi, so I'm new to this forum and the whole concept of being "lucid" but from what I've read iam very interested!!
So I know in the past I have had dreams where I either say in the dream I know I'm dreaming, or I'm talkin to someone and telling them that I'm just dreaming, but I don't think I was lucid, considering from the experiences that I've read was nothing like that, so what does that mean? Was I in the first stages?? Lol like I said I'm not sure what I'm looking for, or is being lucid like you'll know for sure? Also I've had couple dreams where I've purposley woken myself up becuase I didn't like what was goin on in my dream, not sure what that means either! Also today, I had a dream I looked at my dream journal becuase prior to that I'd woken up, wrote down what I had just dreamt, went back to sleep, than dreamt I was lookin at that but it looked totally different, but clearly I didn't clue in. Haha so it this a start at least? Sorry for the many questions, but I want to learn more and know what to look for! Thanks for reading and any suggestions!
