i think you need to stablize the dream once you go lucid. just try touching things around you and try to stimulate as many senses as you can your sight should come back once you do that. try rubbing your hands together |

I've been having semi-lucid dreams for years, been finding out how to exert more control on my own for the most part. Last night, I was dreaming and realized almost instantly that I was in a dream; the day before I'd read an article which the writer described the spinning technique so I figured I'd give it a shot. So I started spinning, but as I kept spinning the dream went completely black. All of the characters and the environment and everything in the dream was gone. I also lost sight of my avatar which is extremely rare for me as that usually stays very consistent during my dreams. I stopped spinning and immediately thought "fly", so I started flying but the problem of the dream being dark was still there. I felt like I was flying but I couldn't see myself doing it and I couldn't feel the dream state as I usually do. In addition, spinning made me actually feel very dizzy. |

Lucidity is simply being aware that you're dreaming, as I'm sure you're aware. Therefore, there's no such thing as a semi-lucid or half-lucid; you either know you're dreaming, or you don't. |

I'm not on DV much these days, but I'll try to toss a cool dream or two into my DJ.
you're right about awareness, but I think the effect of being "semi-lucid" is still an experience valid enough to warrant it's own description, even if it is technically incorrect. |

You know when you focus on something so hard that everything else in your periphery seems to fall away? Well, maybe when you went lucid something similar happened. You were so conscious of the fact that you were dreaming that the awareness that usually creates your dream landscape seemed to disappear, but in fact it only did because you were so focused on maintaining control of the dream. |

Are you talking about being lucid but being passively involved in a dream? That would still qualify as a lucid, just one that you're in a passive non-controlling state within. I think I have an idea of what you're talking about, but there is a line of whether or not you're aware that you're dreaming, regardless of what you do after the fact. |

For me it's like, knowing I'm dreaming, but being too tired to do anything about it. So yes, this could place me in a dream passively interacting with things. |

^ This. But! There is an accepted term of pre-lucidity where something reminds you about dreaming, but you did not actually snap into consciously recognizing the dream for what it is. |
