Quesion about conscious in LD.

[Barry]

So in my lucid dream last night, I was pretty conscious thinking about waking life. For instance I thought to myself 'When am I going to wake up' and in my dream I remembered to ask a DC what I represent. So I was pretty conscious, but I wasn't fully there. Can you have a lucid where you think/make decisions and are as conscious as you are in waking life?

It is definitely possible. Just focus on the dream and try not to get too interrupted or overwhelmed by some happenings in the dream, that can cause your attention to be reduced. If you are fully aware of what you are doing, what you want to do and don't let your subconscious interrupt you, then it shouldn't be a problem

When you go aimlessly into something immediately, that can cause chaos and even soon waking up. Just calm down a little at first and think about what you wanted to do and focus on that. The subconscious will surely try to interrupt you multiple times, just try to ignore it... or if you feel like the interruption is something interesting, then join in, but carefully, not forgetting what your original plan was ^^
