Real Lucidity vs Faux Lucidity?
Had my first lucid dream since I got back into this last night. Or at least I hope I did. (I'll make a DJ later, the dream contents themselves really aren't the issue). Though I wonder if it was *real* lucidity vs, I guess, for a lack of a better term, "faux" lucidity. What I mean by that is: I do a reality check (I was practicing a sort of mix of FILD/DILD at the time, where if I noticed my fingers not moving, I would do a RC [nose pinch]), stabilize, and acknowledge that it is a dream, but it is not a true, conscious reality check/lucidity, but simply an unconscious part of the dream script. The reason I say this is because it didn't feel like the other lucid dreams I've had before, where I wake up immediately afterwards when the dream collapses after a few minutes. In this, I did the RC/"gained lucidity", played around a bit with telekenesis (I was in what seemed like Philly's Reading Terminal Market at the time, so there was plenty of stuff to toss around:cheeky:), and drifted back into nonlucid dreams after a while, and now in hingsight, I wonder if I was ever really lucid at all.
Anyone ever have this happen to them? Was it real lucidity? If not, am I doing RCs too little? Too much? Should I switch RCs?
