Thread: Dont you hate when this happens? I do

I get what your getting at, so what do you call it when your dreaming and your lucid(Able to control it and your actually there) but you just don't actually realise its a dream and you think its reality?

Sounds like it SHOULD be Lucid if I think about it. Just cause its not the "definition".

If you have a dream, BUT YOU THINK ITS REAL LIFE (like what you described) its just a regularl dream.

A lucid dream is where you know what you're seeing isnt real.

If you try to induce a lucid (say, by using a MILD) and you fail...you might have dreams, but they are not lucid until you know you are dreaming

Xyn, a lucid dream is only (like has been said) "a dream where you know you are dreaming."

If you have a vivid dream, where you feel you have control of yourself, and it's like you're actually there, that is just a vivid dream where you have a slight level of control.

If you don't know that you are actually dreaming though, you are not (what is referred to as) lucid, in any way.
