Thanks your right, I definitely need more experience, I have had a fair few lucid's ( ld count is inaccurate) but I certainly cannot have them whenever I want it's mostly luck. One sure-fire way of knowing would be wilding which I would love to be able to master. Never been able to do it haha, damn it's hard at least for me but I know I should probably get good at the easier stuff first. I just don't like the idea of thinking I've had a ld and it being false is all, as I'm quite opposed to wishful thinking, a cognitive bias that a lot of people seem to exhibit.
