Thread: what happens when YOU go into lucid mode?

I've been "lucid dreaming" my entire life and am not up on all the terminology. I've only lately found out that what I've been doing has a name. But if you're the word master, then I'm happy to concede the point that before entering a lucid dream I typically experience sleep paralysis

Yes, it is true you can be awake whilst in SP.

Ah well he asked "go into lucid mode" so I assumed he meant the exact moment of realizing lucidity, or "entering" a dream via WILD.

Well, if you are going to be communicating with others on a website dedicated to lucid dreaming, you ought to know the basic terminology and vernacular to avoid such confusion. I'm not the word master, all of these are defined and available on many different pages about the site to try to keep everyone on the same bar. Not my fault if you don't do your reading.

This is what i had thought they meant as well! How you feel before you go into a lucid dream.

This might sound weird, but everything becomes distant and disconnected. The feeling that if I turn around I'll just see blackness, or that the world ends 100 ft. in front of me. I'm in my own little bubble. o.O
