Thread: Can't decide if this was Lucid

Well, this was not a dream I had recently but I have had it before I knew about lucid dreaming. Im around my house and other various places. Apparently next to my house was a grocery store/flea market but I really don't live anywhere close to one. Anyways, in the dream I have the power to create anything. I could fly if I really thought about it, I could make stuff appear, but the thing is, I didn't know I was in a dream. Its like the dream was me having these powers, not me controlling the dream.

So was this really lucid or not? What I did in the dream was very lucid like, but I didn't know I was dreaming... so is this considered a regular dream instead? It was still an awesome dream.

Lucid Dreaming = Realizing that you are dreaming.

If you don't realize that you're dreaming, then you weren't lucid.

Slayer is correct, the definition of lucidity, is the realization that you were dreaming. You had control over your dream for sure, but if you didn't know it was a dream, then it wasn't an LD. Its not bad though. Now you know that once you become lucid, you won't have much problem with control. Just remember this dream while lucid and it will help you with any control issues you may have!
