Are these lucid dreams?

Sorry I disappeared for awhile. D: I gave up a bit on trying to get an LD, but last night... I might have had 3. So, I go to bed, around like.. 11. I wake up around 4:30, which usually happens. I think it's after I have all my dreams and stuff... I go up to go to the washroom, and I stay up for awhile. I go back to bed, and I lay really still, then all of a sudden when I'm relaxed, I feel like I'm being sucked through a tunnel, and I hear like... a pop in my ears. I open my eyes quickly, and I'm in my room, not dreaming. So I try to fall asleep again, the same thing happens, and I realize I might have a LD. All of a sudden I see like... people in front of me, I forget who, but I open my eyes and I'm with them. This happened about 2 more times. After the first dream, which I believe to be lucid, because I practically did what I wanted, I would think of someone I wanted to see. Before I closed my eyes, I kept thinking of Dean Winchester from Supernatural. >_> When I closed my eyes, after a minute, the same tunnel and popping happened. And it was like I was watching a wide screen movie or something. I saw Dean look at me, and then I opened my eyes slowly. Dean was in front of me. Annnnd after that dream was done I thought of something else etc etc. Were those lucid dreams, or just... dreams that are tricking me or something? In the Dean one... I did what I wanted to do..... ;} I wasn't watching Dream me say stupid things. It felt so real too, beside... the random dinosaurs in a tropical paradise.

interesting read! I go back to bed, and I lay really still, then all of a sudden when I'm relaxed, I feel like I'm being sucked through a tunnel, and I hear like... a pop in my ears. those sound like hypnagogic hallucinations -this occurs sometimes before WILD's. What you described later - having like a "widescreen tv" (or in my case it was like sitting in a super HD movie theater) definitely sounds like you were having short WILD's. A simple way for you to check is ask yourself: if when you were seeing those vivid images and interacted with em did you know/were aware (at least in some parts) that you were also in your bed dreaming? if the answer is yes then yes

Thanks for replying. I was totally aware because when I saw Dean, and some of the other people in the dreams, (I saw my dad and some of his family in the first one, and I haven't seen/spoken to him in a year) I thought right away that I must have been dreaming. Sooo, yay. 3 LDs in a night and I didn't even try to have one. They were much more interesting than my first one. That's a total of 4 now. :3
