      Arrow Is all this time my Lucid dreaming become a Hallucination?

      I usually Lucid. But now I worry. I think now that I have been dreaming but not really Lucid. I aware I am dreaming but I think I have been hallucinating.

      I mean I close my eyes when I start to WILD. I just relax and let myself slowly drift in a sleep stage.

      I see different colors and I see myself dancing with stars and such...

      Is this Lucid dreaming or is it just a hallucinating thing? I think my mind plays tricks on me just to make me think I Lucid.:S

      It really matters? for me an experience is an experience regardless of how you come across it.

      Hi Luna.

      The experience you're asking about is called hypnagogic imagery. It is not quite the same thing as a Lucid Dream. But the hallucinations can still be quite fascinating and enjoyable.

      Yes, what about if the police planted it there to see if you would take it if you do then you would be arrested. You would still take it but it does matter where it comes from.

      I imagine what you mean is that if he is having these hallucinations that are exactly like lucids why would you care what it actually is? It does not seem to be exactly like lucids however because from what I read, it does not really involve him all that much such as no feeling etc.


      As Caradon said, this is hypnagogic imagery which usually leads to a lucid dream if you stick with it a bit longer and there is a specific tutorial to induce a lucid from HI (as hypnagogic imagery is shortened to). There is a tutorial on hypnagogic hallucinations here that involve swirling colours and stars which is the same hallucination that you had and is usually early hynagogic hallucinations.

      If it isn't yours then you will probably be taken to court. The finders keepers rule does not work in legal terms.

      It works if nobody claims it, and also remember i said it was "old", also you wont get a criminal record for just finding something and taking it because if that was the case then someone simply picking flowers would constitute as a crime.
