Many things about an FA do resemble a LD, because you are not truly awake, you are still seeing things that are dream-like, and you are most likely still in SP. But in a FA you are in a stage between LDing and waking, where you may actually have your eyes open. You can turn an FA into a LD, though, if you make yourself aware that it's a FA, then you can get up and move around and explore and fully leave your waking body again. Some people may say that a FA is a good avenue toward having an OBE, maybe that's true, I don't know. |

Never stop searching for truth. In your search you may think you have found it, and perhaps you have, but if you hold on tightly to a single thread it will fray and it's greater meaning will become lost. There is always more truth stretching deep beneath the surface that promises to reveal ever greater the infinite, interwoven fabric of truth, woven in the looms of Heaven.

To have a LD you have to know that you are dreaming. FA is not the same as a LD but pretty close except that the dream awareness isn't there. If you get aware then you get a lucid. |

Right, I was talking about the run-of-the mill FA that happens randomly. If Dreamtamer had distinguised between the two kinds of FAs then I would have referred that one in particular. I guess I better work on my cryptic writing style. |

Well what are we talking about here? There is more than one type of FA. There is the FA that happens when we awake out of a LD and we find ourself in bed and we remain lucid. That is a lucid dream. We are closer to wakefulness than the usual lucid dream because we may actually see real waking scenery (I know this because I once had an FA where I saw my arm in a weird position and when I finally did wake up it was exactly the same way). But our mind is still in dreaming mode and if we remain lucid we can fall back into full dreaming mode and full lucidity. |

Thing is, though, that that's not always the case. Some FAs occur sporadically in or succession of one another. Those aren't all REM phases. Although if you look at the typical FAs they are all probably very much the same, there are still quite a few that vary a lot and have different characteristics, or may be completely different. So it seems to me that to learn more about them will help make us the wiser about becoming lucid in them. |
