Thread: Can you dream about lucid dreaming without really being lucid?

I do keep a dream journal, and I find that since I started my dream recall improved so it has definitely been helpful, but it's been only a few days and I haven't yet found a pattern or a dream sign. But I managed to become lucid in the most awesome dream I had in a long time, I think reading around this forum somehow helped my subconscious to be more aware and I got lucky.

I read the part on the reality checks and I think I see what I've been doing wrong, thank you very much. I just did them mechanically when when I remembered to do so and didn't really pay much attention. It makes sense that I should put more thought in it and examine reality more carefully if see something unusual.

i had a dream where somehow i found out i was lucid. Couldnt fly or do anything cool. So i went to my parents and asked them if i was dreaming and they said no. So i was like i guess im not dreaming

How vivid did your dream feel? In my case it was the opposite, not sure if dreaming or not but had some control, I made a door appear out of nowhere with my will.
You should have done a reality check instead of asking your parents, I read that dream characters often deny that fact that they aren't real.

wasnt vivid at all. Pretty blurry. It was technically my first and only DILD (never even practiced for DILDs before). i am still a newb at this though.
