Confused about lucid dreaming

**RitoTheSNake** · 05-01-2016 05:25 AM

Hi, I have never had a dream where I was not self aware. Every dream i've had I know that i'm dreaming but it's not very vivid and I can't control them. I've never had a dream where it was a complete removal from reality and then when I woke up had a sudden realization that it was a dream. What does this mean? Is that lucid dreaming or not?

From your description it sounds like yes, these are lucid dreams. LDs don't require dream control, they only require you to be aware that it is a dream while you are dreaming. Dream control is something that, like lucidity, is worked on over time. If you're interested in increasing the amount of control you have over your dreams I'd suggest checking out the Dream Control Tutorial in the wiki. Other than that, if you have any specific questions feel free to ask!

Lucid dreaming means being aware when you're in your dream while dreaming. So definitely a lucid dream is what you experience. If you want to increase your dream control I suggest visiting the dream control wiki Burke mentioned if you have n't done yet.
