One of the reasons I became interested in lucid dreaming is that my boyfriend is able to do it. It's strange though, the way he explains it doesn't sound exactly lucid to me, and I was wondering if anyone else has experianced this, or knows anything about it.
He told me it always happens in his nightmares, that he'll say to himself "I'm dreaming" and everything will go a shade of red for a moment and he is then lucid. However, it seems the exact opposite.
For instance, he'll tell himself "That door better not be locked" and sure enough it is. Or he can feel something behind him and he hopes that it's not a monster (or whatever) and when he turns around it's whatever he didn't want it to be.
Is there a name for this?
