Levels Of Lucidity

[Paradox-db3]

There are different levels of lucidity, I'm told. I wanted to get an idea of what the lowest and highest levels are. Here's what I think. Please comment and/or correct me: Lowest level of lucidity would be where one realizes they're dreaming, but does not fully comprehend what this means. They might be afraid to jump off a tall building for fear of getting seriously hurt, or might be reluctant to hit a DC because they don't want to hurt another human being. Highest level of lucidity would be where one realizes they're in a dream that their mind is making up. They understand that their physical body is fast asleep in bed. Jumping off a tall building will not hurt them and hitting a DC is not the same as hurting another human being, because the DC is a made up character of their own mind. Any thoughts?

I guess that makes sense. Actually I just had my first LD the other night and I'd add a medium level at which you are lucid but you just let the dream lead you.

A user here posted the levels of lucidity a while back. It explains the many levels(way more than two).

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=36173 Levels of lucidity, a nice concept but I dont think it helps anthing but labeling the dreams further into obscurity. But here it is anyways, I hope that helps!

I think knowing about the subtle levels of lucid dreaming can be of great help to learning lucid dreamers who aspire to one day become high level lucid dreamers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwlib29LgU This video is part of a series on the subtle layers of lucid dreams. Check it out

Hey paradox, I was going to post the link to Arby's Levels of Lucidity thread but no-name beat me to it! The thread is brilliant. I refer to it a lot

That's a pretty comprehensive list! Although I wouldn't consider anything below the 30% level in that list as a level of lucidity. But thanks for that list.

Lucidity simply means you're in a dream and know that you're dreaming. That is precisely what the definition of the word means. "levels of lucidity" are very subjective qualities of a lucid dream, and depend on the person expressing it. For me, fully lucid means that I have relatively decent access to my waking memory, know 100% that everything is in a dream and remind myself of this to have precise dream control, am able to remember to stabilize a dream and recall dream goals, and have no fear whatsoever of my dream environment. But, this depends. You can still be completely lucid and aware that you're in a dream, and something you're attempting can not work. You may realize 100% that you're in a dream, but can't access that memory from waking life. Maybe you're aware but forget things, just as you can be aware but forget things in real life. Maybe you're lucid, but you realize that no matter what you can still feel pain, so you're afraid. Really, being "completely lucid" doesn't mean anything. Make up your own definition, set your own standards, because as far as I see it, it is completely impossible to come up with an objective scale for lucidity since we have no way of comparing our dreams to each other in an appropriate manner to make such a scale. http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=72353
