Would This Be Considered Lucid?

[cidus]

At the end of a strange dream, as the light started to fade, I said to myself "I must be waking up now." I can't really tell if that is considered lucid because I realized that I was dreaming, but only beacause I was gaining conciosness in the real world -thanks

Lol, no it isnt a Lucid Dream. Every time i'm dreaming and i'm about to wake up i'll either hear my alarm in dream and just as i'm waking think "damn... i should have realized i was dreaming!", or if its the weekend and there is no alarm set, i am conciously aware that i'm awakening, and as far as i know it happens to everyone whether they realize what exactly were describing or not... its not really realizing in the sense that you can quickly use a stabilizing technique, but its more or less you wake up and realize and remember that at the end of your dream you were waking up. Its hard to explain but i know what your talking about.

It doesn't matter if the lucidity lasted for only a split second. To be lucid, means to know that you're dreaming. Nothing else.

No, trust me youd know if you were lucid or not. Beeing lucid in my eyes in beeing concious in your dream word.

thanks everyone even if the dream wasn't lucid I'm sure that this is a sign of me getting closer.

Good luck, and remember if the dream starts to fade or feel fuzzy LOOK AT YOUR HANDS! You never know you could get lucky tonight.

Because that gave me a thought, if time in your dreams isn't the same as real life, then a person could feel the dream fade, look at their hands, become lucid, then go on to have a lucid dream that goes on for about an hour, all one minute before the alarm goes off. That'd be AWESOME.
