Thread: Attaining Lucidity without realizing it?

Ok, now I see what you were getting at with the first post. No, control is not lucidity. Lucidity just means you know you're dreaming while you're dreaming. Unless it's a WILD it begins with a moment of excitement and that rush of feeling when you think "Holy crap!! This is a dream!" Dream control is a totally different matter. Though when you're lucid you can control your own actions and choices - which way to go, how to react to other characters etc. But when people talk about dream control they mean the ability to take control over the dream itself - to change the surroundings at will, to make things or people appear or disappear, stuff like that.
