This is Wicked? [Need help]

[spiritofthewolf]

Hey everyone, how you all doing? Well last night, i tried WILD for about 55mins...during that time i saw multi swirl, blue and hot pink colors and at one point i thought i was in this field, like an animal--almost like a dead corn field but the stuff was still standing up--but the dream was only beginning to form--like it was still black...But the thing is during that time 2 trains went by, and it wasn't that bad, but it shook my bed..and the big ass siberian Husky next door was also howling in the middle of my WILD at a point... So i eventually after--getting heated up--i could tell that WILD was working--i just need practice--i gave up... Quick Question: Do you people ever wake up either a short time or a decent amount of time, later in the middle of the night and you question "Have i even fallen asleep?", well if so, you can relate to me..cuz it happened to me last night..like I stopped WILD at 1:45am exactly..And i woke up sometime after 2am...Now this is what happened.... [15 second dream] I was walkin on this sidewalk, it was daylight out, and I remember seeing a big pine tree in the middle of the sidewalk--like it got knocked down during a storm or something--and I wasn't sure if I was dreamin, but im like "Am I dreaming" so to test if i was..i stuck out my hand, and I moved the PINE TREE up and out of the way off the sidewalk--I knew now that i must have been dreaming--but I may have slipped backinto the DREAM STATE, cuz what happened next....I all of a sudden had an unbrella and opened it up over my head..and rain started to fall..and i could hear the rain drops on the top of the unbrella get more VIVID as it started to rain harder...and then the Rain drops got to the point where i couldn't take it no more so i woke up...But i remember thinking to myself while the raindrops were fallen, that "I didn't wanna wake up" My question is...Do you think it was a Lucid Dream....I mean do short ass dreams like that still count as LD's....I tested to see if i was dreaming by lifting up the pine tree and afterwards i didn't wanna leave the dream but the raindrops got so vivid and the sound of it raining cats and dogs ontop of the unbrella woke me up..but i didn't wanna wake up.... I would like to hear from some people with their opinions...I had taken B6 a couple hours before i went to bed..and i did have more dreams, that were really Vivid.... Thanks DJ JONES

I think it was just a borderline lucid dream. You became lucid momentarily, but did not hold onto that state and slipped back into the dreamstate. But the dream did remain highly vivid, so you were probably still close to lucidity, it was just being *disacknowledged* instead of acknowledgeing your lucidity. I have had times when I become lucid in a dream, and I'll start to do something, but I forget to remind myself I'm lucid and I fall back into a regular dream, but have several clues during the dream, like thinking "This seems almost like a dream". There is a weird borderline I've noticed for lucid dreaming where your mind is accepting that it is a dream, but you are not consciously aware of it. So I would not call it a lucid dream except during the times where you can honestly say you knew you were in a dream. Having thoughts about dreaming in your dream doesn't make you lucid, it's when you become aware of the dream around you and acknowledge it.
