Weird Dream

[vladi]

I recently had a weird dream while trying out the WILD induction technique. I hadn't had much sleep before this attempt and this happened in the morning after waking up a first time. In this dream i was sitting on a couch surrounded by 4 of my friends, and I was trying to realize that I was in a dream. I did the hand through palm reality check first and nothing happened, so then I tried reading text and I knew I must be in a dream because it would change after reading it once. I also asked my friends if they were real or if I was dreaming. I did not become lucid through any part of this dream. Does this mean I'm at least getting closer to lucid dreaming. And what would a dream like this be called? Thank you for your input.

... and I knew I must be in a dream because it would change after reading it once. It may not have been very vivid or realistic, and you may not have been too aware, but if you knew you are dreaming, it was a lucid dream. Happy dreams

I agree with GAB. Even if you experience little in the way of control it sounds like you knew you were dreaming. Consider it a teaser for the full thing. Keep working on technique. Try it with a WBTB, I bet you get good results.

Thank you for replying. It was definitely more vivid and more realist than any of the normal dreams I've had. This is very good news!
