      Did I incubate a dream??

      So Something woke me up at 3 so I was just super tired. I decided to try having a LD but I was just imagining myself walking around a room finding something to make me RC... Now that I think of it I think I was dreaming (not in the daydream).. Also I had a dream after waking at 5 about being on the bus and I had 5 fingers but I couldn't count correctly like 1,3,7,4,2 was how I was counting!! It was funny cause in the dream I asked someone to count my fingers and kept saying " I swear I thknk I'm dreaming!!" Back to the main question.. Was that an incubated dream or would've I already be lucid??

      I'm not sure you would really call that dream incubation, unless your goal was to dream about doing RCs. If it was, then I guess you did it! What I'd say is that the dreams were a continuation of what you were doing when you fell asleep, which is actually pretty counter-productive if all you end up doing is mindlessly RCing. But at least yours were better than some of the ones I've had where I dream of lying in bed saying my mantra over and over and trying to fall asleep! Take heart though, to dream about anything associated with lucidity means you're close - anther night or 2 and you might be having lucid dreams. Maybe you should apply the same principle, but be thinking about flying or doing something really cool that you'd like to do in a lucid, so hopefully you'll just be doing that in the dream.

      That is a really cool state between dreaming and waking though, isn't it? It seems like you're still awake and daydreaming, but the dream imagery is extremely vivid and takes on a life of its own, and if you actually try to open your eyes or sit up you'll find it's very nearly impossible but can be done with quite a bit of pushing. Lol, and if you do it then you'll be all like "Awwww NO!" Staying aware like that through the transition into dream is exactly the goal if you're trying to WILD.
