Thread: Not sure if a Lucid Dream?

If you know it isn't reality then it is a lucid dream, but lucidity can come and go. Also the level can increase and decrease. I had a dream where I saw my reflection and I had the wrong color eyes, I knew I was dreaming I went to a co worker and held up my hand it was missing fingers the co worker held up their hand also missing fingers, then I went to look at my reflection and I looked like some kind of half lemur with amber eyes. But latter I saw a girl and a very tall cop, I knew I needed to disarm the cop but was afraid because he was like 6'5" so I was clearly not entirely lucid, if fully lucid I wouldn't have been afraid of a 20ft cop. So throughout the dream I was at varying levels of lucidity but during this described portion I was clearly lucid. (just not utterly lucid)

However you could have a dream where someone tells you something like that you are dreaming and you say "yea I know I am" but really have no idea that you are, in this case you are not the least bit lucid.

next time try something like a jump test, think your lucid jump a little in the air and expect to fall very slowly this will increase your awareness of the unreality of the dream.
