Welcome haffi2812, |

Sorry if i made this confusing. But i'm just wondering if you can dream about being lucid in a dream, without actually being lucid at all. |

Yes, you can. It may happen quite often, after you start practicing for lucid dreaming and thinking about it a lot. It's because you start having better awareness thus you start having even some logical thoughts in your dreams. Not sure if you had that happen to you before. I never had any logical thoughts, until I became interested in Lding. |

What's up haffi! Welcome to DV! |

Usually if you dream of being lucid (which it sounds like you did) that means actual lucidity is just around the corner. When it happens, you'll know - when somebody asks if it was a lucid dream it probably wasn't. When you really become lucid it's accompanied by a feeling of profoundness and excitement and feels like nothing you've ever experienced before. |

Ohhh, I'm having something similar. I know I haven't had a LD yet, but still, I get really confused. Because I think to myself, "Hmm, I'm sure I wondered whether I was dreaming in that dream." But this is always in the middle of the night, in that in-between state, where you're half asleep/half-awake, generally all over the place and so I'm thinking, well maybe I'm only just realising now that I was dreaming, now that I'm awake, but am I fully awake? And then in the morning, I'm like, "I'm sure I knew it was a dream, I had this feeling..." but I know it definitely wasn't lucid and like I say, maybe I was awake when I thought those things? I hope this makes sense. I know for sure that they aren't lucids, but hopefully I'm getting there |

@Lula - That's why you should get in the habit of always following the question with a reality check: "Am I dreaming?" *nosepinch* *fingerpalm* - nope, guess not (or Oh Hells Yeah!!) |

Thanks DarkMatters I totally agree and I'm trying to get into the habit of doing RCs IRL. But I'm kinda new to all this and I'm getting a bit of an overload of information from these fabulous forums :p I'm also not sure when and how often I should be doing RCs. Like I read somewhere on the website that you shouldn't just do RC's randomly, you should do them when you see something strange? But then others have said you should keep doing to get them into a routine, so it filters down into your dreams? I'm only doing RC's pretty infrequently at the moment and I've only been practicing for a couple of days, so I guess I need to step it up a notch. |

I guess you just have to find the way that works best for you after trying a few - I do them randomly throughout the day when I think of it - maybe 5 or 6 times a day (sometimes more, sometimes less) and I try to always do them when I encounter a dream sign. My dream signs are my mom and sister, my old friends I don't see anymore, dogs, and Main Street. Plus sometimes after reading through my DJ I notice more and add them. |
