Lucid Dream or Weird Visualization?
I had a really weird experience last night.
I was visualizing a dream that I wanted to have, and things started happening out of my control (DCs talking to me, events happening, etc). I was still awake- I could hear my fan, feel my body on the pillow, but it felt a little like a lucid. What's even weirder is that I did RCs in the dream, talked with a few DCs about the fact it was a dream, and had dream control and influence like I would in a lucid. But I knew I wasn't asleep.
Later that night I had a non lucid that didn't match my incubated dream at all, except in the fictional world the DCs were from.
So what do you think? Was it a lucid dream? A spiraling visualization? I'm really kind of freaked out by it- one of the DCs /knew/ I was dreaming and asked about that and my mental illness, which made me really really nervous. And just...it was really weird and im actually quite shaken.
