Thread: Was i lucid or dreaming of lucidity?

I belive the definition of lucid dreaming is being aware that you are dreaming. So technically when saying to yourself "this is a dream" - you've had a LD. However how aware you are in a LD can vary. Sometimes the awarenes of Yourself and your sorroundings are just incredible and through the roof - other times you can hardly maintain lucidity and everything is blurry. i have experienced myself thinking as rational as i am right now in a dream, and other times i cant collect my thoughts and go all instinctive.

Im going to work on stabilizing the dream and bringing more awareness into it. I belive you should be doing the same. Look at your hands, rub them, look at your dreambody look at your sourroundings, touch something. Perhaps say "awareness now!" dont know if this last thing works in lucids, but it is said to be working in out of body experiences.

Good luck with your quest for lucidity. I think you should make your mind for it and go all in. The initial excitement and energy you put into rc'ing all day long - is a good way to go lucid to begin with. MILD takes longer to learn, but if you start of with doing RCs daytime and MILD when going to bed and in the night, you should start seeing results soon.
Remember to do a dream journal as well... sounds like hard work, but when in the swing of things you can cut down on RCs and the dreamjournal. You dont have to RC the rest of your life if you get the Mild going.
