Thread: Partial Lucidity?

In my experiances, I'd say your lucid on an observational level. The 2 LD's I've had when I was younger, I was aware I was dreaming, but couldn't control anything except that I knew if I kept my eyes closed I could still dream. So yes, you were fully lucid, whether you could control your dream or not

At least, that is what I think

I'd still call it lucid. I've done the same as you so many times, where, I'm in a dream plot, and I'll change some things around. Realise that I'll need to use a certain ability and it activates. Or if I encounter something unusual, I'll actually stop the dream, weigh out some possible outcomes of said oddity, and I'll change things if I don't like where it'll head.

Like in my dream last night, I had to cross a bridge of white metal bars, but the bars crossed in such a way that left huge gaps of nothing there to walk on... I stopped and considered this bridge. What will happen if I walk over it? Will my dream go in a direction I don't care to watch? So instead, I decided that there was probably some kind of invisible flooring that would stop me from falling through the bars, and I crossed the bridge.

I didn't really become actually lucid enough to stop the dream, realise I'm dreaming, and go exploring... but I did have enough knowledge that I was dreaming and conjured up an invisible floor to cross so I could continue with my dream plot.

It's still possible to have powers if you arn't lucid, havn't you ever had powers or been flying somehow and ou wern't lucid. But if not that there is such thing as partial lucidity

Maybe your subconscious realized you are dreaming. I wouldn't call partial lucid though, but I think its a signal that you are going to have your first lucid dream.
