Thread: Is it possible to dream every dream lucid?

Yes and no. Your brain needs time to rest so it can't be active in the way necessary to have meaningful lucids. However, you can have a lucid every rem cycle but good luck with that. Every time I dream, it ranges between a level 2 lucid dream (passive) and a level 4 lucid dream (active)

All of the dreams I recall are at least level 2 meaning that I knew that I was dreaming but didn't think much about it or complete any dream goals. It's enough lucidity to justify using powers like flying, time manipulation and telekinesis but not to do any tasks I thought of before the moment I'm in. I can't recall a time in this year where I had a dream below a level two but it often goes up to level 4.

To answer your question, it's possible but good luck getting to that point.

Thanks for the insightful reply. I have a few questions from that.

We always hear that "our brain needs to rest" and while this is undoubtedly true, what actual evidence do you have that while you are lucid dreaming your brain is not resting? I can't think of an instance where, even if I had 3 lucids in one night, I could reasonably attribute my feeling of tiredness to my lucid dreams. I always feel better. Can you say with certainty or good evidence this would change with more high-level lucids?
Also, you say every time you dream it is a level 2 lucid, which would imply that your brain can rest in a level 2 lucid but not a level 4.

Your last sentence makes me feel that you think it would be very hard. Can you elaborate on why you think it's possible but so difficult to acheive? I would almost argue, if you're hitting level 2 lucids every night you are, well, already having a lucid dream in every dream. I didn't mention in the post the level of lucidity required for this to "count", but I guess we would be looking at level 4. Interested to hear your thoughts

I find this about as likely as I find statements from people who say they sleep for 7 or 8 hours and then wake up recalling all their dreams, certain sure that they can remember distinct ones right back to the first REM cycle.

Such claims just don't seem reasonable to me.

Lets take my brother, I asked him how often are you able to control your dreams, his answer 'Always....
but, then I rarely remember my dreams'

so the more accurate statement would be that he only remembers his lucid dreams,

but then a more accurate statement for sound sleepers would be that when they wake up well rested they remember many segments of their last dream, falsely believing they are remembering all of many distinct ones.


just as surely as those sound sleepers you must have forgotten many of your dreams entirely and done so because you weren't the least bit lucid in them.


I also hate this new supposed numbering scheme of lucid dreams

certainly you can compare two different lucid dreams but assigning them numbers seems asinine to me

For instance I recently had a lucid dream, I was leaving work and was in the parking lot trying to find my car, and then remembered I didn't have it with me, next thing I know I'm driving a car. My first thought "this is a lucid dream, but how can it be?, I was just in the parking lot, my lucid conclusion: I was likely hit over the head and am lying unconscious in the parking lot lucid dreaming; note to self thank my attacker when I wake up...

When I actually wake up (after a quite bitch'n 10+ minutes highly Lucid Dream), It suddenly occurs to me that I don't actually work at my old high school, that I'm not actually a hardware engineer.

Clearly I had total self-reflection in that I new I wasn't in reality, and that I wasn't real.. In fact I was quite lucid and had great stability and control. But as for real world self-reflection I was totally convinced that the previous dream sequence of ending my engineering shift at my remodeled High-School and walking out into that dream lot was the real f'n world.

So what do I do give my self a Lucid Level of 2.71828 (the natural number) or was it more of a Lucid Level of 3.14159 (pi)

Numbering the level of Lucidity is just plain un-natural and pi-in-the-sky as far as I'm concerned
