Is it possible to dream of having a lucid dream?

I don't think so. By definition all a lucid dream is is one where you are aware you are dreaming. So if you're aware, you're aware. You can't think you're aware and not be. At least that's how I look at it.

Yes, theortically. Its just like dreaming when you're in a dream. I think that was once the task of the month actually. (or it just sounds like it should be.)

EDIT: I think I actually misunderstood. I though you meant while lucid you go to sleep and have a lucid dream, when you said while having a non-lucid dream you dream you are lucid...

I agree with Uriel.

Just read your post before the edit and thought maybe I misunderstood. Yeah if you mean you go lucid, then sleep in your lucid and have a lucid within a lucid then yes I think that is possible. Though really complicated.

Well I have gone to sleep in a dream, then "dreamt" and become lucid in that dream. Then I have "woken up" to a false awakening. So in a sense it was a lucid dream within a dream. But really, it was a normal lucid dream, preceded and succeeded by two other dreams of falling to sleep and waking up.

Dreaming in a dream is more or less a pyschological thing. Just because you dream about being in a dream, doesn't mean that's actually what's happening.

because I had a dream where I became lucid but the things I did were not things I would usually want to do...

This happens to me too. I seem to sometimes have decreased memory and increased aggressiveness. All the cool things I thought I wanted to try in a dream, like Reiki, meditation, contacting dream guides, etc. go out the window.

Here's a quick, simple, yet complicated question that may or may not help you with this;

Did you know you were dreaming?

Dreaming you were dreaming and knowing you were dreaming are 2 entirely different subjects, yet the latter is harder to fully explain, or rather, explain at all, because the feeling of knowing is different for everyone. To be conscious of the dream state; To know you're dreaming; Only then cal it be called a Lucid Dream.

Gah, I think I just went philosophical on myself...
