Thread: I think I might be close.

I am just wondering if being able to determine that something isn't right inside your dream is a building stone for success?

That's exactly what you want to happen!

When those "this is weird" moments happen:

1) you are questioning your "status" and
2) hopefully such questions will lead you to wonder if you're dreaming and
3) this wondering will hopefully lead you to do a reality check which
4) will confirm to you that you're dreaming and
5) this will cause you to become lucid.

I write them in a little Mead Memo book. the first one took up half a page, the 2nd one took up 2 and a half pages.

anyways thanks for your time.

Dream journals are very helpful as they build your dream recall.. which is important cuz what good is finally having a lucid dream if you can barely remember it?

All in all, it sounds like you're off to a very promising start!

Thank you. I really am hoping to complete that walk across the bridge task. about to go to bed now. /fingers crossed

Exactly what Clairity said, you're making a great start. You're questioning things which is brilliant.

Good luck with the lucid task!

Yes you want that to happen, if somthing wierd happens in real life you should to a reality check so if somthing wierd happens in a dream you do a reality check so you can become lucid.

I'm not sure but you may have actualy been lucid, you were consiouse enough to think something wasn't right.

By the sounds of things you are doing great, and if you enjoy writing out your dreams in your dream journal it only makes it better, you will do very well if you continue with this positive attitude Best of luck to you with future lucid dreams, your making great progress so far.
