Thread: dreaming of lucid dreaming

bear with me on this..



for a while i thought that false awakenings must be proof of LD's (if ever you needed to prove it to someone)- because when you're dreaming, you don't know you're dreaming and therefore cannot "awake" from it. so only during a LD would you be able to have a false awakening because of the fact that you know you are dreaming.


but then i realised....simply having a good knowledge of Lucid Dreams, and perhaps it being part of your life so to stimulate LD related dreams, might cause you to dream of waking up.


this morning i thought i had an LD but i'm really not sure...i'm convinced that i dreamt of having an LD.

the fact is i'm a pure beginner to this, and yet everything seemed so textbook. for a start it felt like i had about 5 straight consecutive LD's (although short). everytime one ended i would wake up, turn to the side and proceed to start dreaming again.

also, everytime i was dreaming, i would read something, turn away, and read it again, and everytime it said something different and i thought "yep..i'm dreaming again". but the thing is.....in my day to day life, i NEVER perform reality checks.

in one dream i was also flying. i did this by letting myself fall flat on my face, but before i hit the ground, i would stop mid-fall with my self hovering over the ground. from there i just flew around.

now i'm sure i read that "technique" of flying somewhere in these message boards, but never thought of it since.



i think that i had a dream about lucid dreaming. it seems that every scrap of information i have in my head about LD's, has manifested itself in a dream in the amalgamated mess that dreams, or at least MY dreams, tend to be.
