Personally I don't care if it's high or low, a lucid is a lucid.

But dreaming about being lucid is not being lucid. If it was, we could get out of paying tickets by saying "but your honor, I dreamed I paid it last night!" - Or "But honey - I dreamed we did something romantic last week!"

Gab, I suspect you don't really understand what I'm talking about. It's something completely different from lucidity with low awareness - it's a totally non-lucid dream where you just say "I'm dreaming!" and then try to fly around, or do some kind of reality checks (which might be totally wrong, like you try to poke your finger in your eye and then stomp on your foot and say "yes!! I AM dreaming!!").

I'm not saying that's what the person had who started this thread - I have no way to tell. At first he said he was totally not lucid, but later he said he thought maybe he was. But I'm just responding to this idea that there's no such thing as what people are calling a false lucid. I can understand people objecting to the term, but the phenomenon it refers to is completely real and a lot of people come in here reporting it happened to them and asking if it was lucidity.

I just don't think it helps to just tell them "There's no such thing as false lucidity" and leave it at that, and I also don't think it's very helpful to tell them what they experienced was actual lucidity if it wasn't. There's a world of difference between knowing you're dreaming and dreaming that you know you're dreaming.
