Thanks. I think that the odds are that you were lucid dreaming because you probably wouldn't run and jump around expecting to fly if it was a regular dream... You sound like Yoda in the bolded section... Hehe...

Sounds like an LD. Also, a further note on flying, I've always found jumping and actually flying seperate for me. If you can't get airborne from jumping, trying swimming through the air, or gliding like a bird. The swimming thing gets me flying everytime. Just some thoughts.

You can't dream that you are lucid dreaming. The mind doesn't do recursion.

lucid =] only because you have the control over what you are doing.

As a poster said in another thread somewhere, when you move around in your dreams by walking, do you think that you're walking, or do you just do it? It's weird, and probably takes some work to get the hang of it. Only experienced LDers know how to do it well, and I'm not one of them. This is an interesting thread. I guess if you're dreaming of lucid dreaming, you're still lucid dreaming because your mind knows you're dreaming. It's a grey area.
