Lately I have dreams where I do things that I would normally do lucidly...only I''m not lucid or at least it feels like I'm not. Usually I have a very strong feeling when I become lucid and I don't get that anymore. Also, in a dream, even if I don't have the realization that I'm dreaming I still know that I can do anything I want.
Am I lucid or not?
I'm going to make a quote, because I can't explain it better.
I can't remember who wrote it:
listen, a Lucid Dream is a wonderful experience, because you are completely awaken in the dream.Quote:
This is where things can get confusing for people, especially those outside of Lucid Dreaming.
It is like the Ego and the Id. Your body may not contain the essence of your ego in anyway, shape or form. Your ego may simply be the observer. This is YOU. But you, as in your body, would be the Id.
In this scenario, you may have a dream where 'you' say "I'm dreaming!" but YOU do not actually realize it. This is the conflict between dreaming Id ('you') and your dreaming ego (YOU).
The 'conscious you' is what you want to say "I'm dreaming." If you consciously realize you're dreaming, and actually feel as if you are dreaming, realizing that it is as such, then you are Lucid.
the thing you are describing doesn't sound like that, so why would you say that you are experiencing a lucid dream?
