Dreaming that you were having a lucid dream?

**lschievenin** · 05-12-2010 07:06 PM

This night i had a strange dream.
(i wont tell the whole dream, just the important parts)

So i was at my old school with my friends. Than BOOOM!
I was in a Arena, just like in the movie gladiator.

at this moment i was pretty sure that i was in a dream, and i first tought that i should contain my happiness! And i did it.

the first thing i tought, was that i would tell my friend that is trying to attemp a LD too, that i had my first LD.

Than i imagined some place i would like to go.
Blinked my eyes, and i was there.

The next place i would like to go, was my room.
Blinked, and i was waking up (false awake)

got in to my parents room, and said that i had a lucid dream!
(everything was so real, not just in this part, but in the whole dream)

Than i got back to sleep.
wake up (false awake)

I asked my dad, if i really told him that i had a LD, or it was just a dream.
He confirmed, than i woke up (for real)

___

So how is it possible, that i question reality in a dream, and i dont becamo lucid?
And what was this dream?!

It sounds like you had a lucid dream (DILD) followed by a false awakening. I've done the same thing, running around and telling DCs that I was just lucid and that it was awesome. You'd think we would catch on at some point.

Actually, i just felt Lucid when i entered the arena, and when i teleported to some places.
When i teleported to my room, and i had a false awake, i was pretty sure i was in real life actually!

So, do you think i had a Lucid Dream just in the time i was in the arena, and when i teleported?

Yes, I think you were lucid just during that time. Lucid dreams can be fairly short, especially when you're just starting out.

Good job on the teleporting, by the way. I still haven't figured that out.

HAHA
i would like to have another opinion, just to make sure if ti was really a LD!
i hope it was

**Delwind** · 05-12-2010 10:19 PM

you were LDing.
if you know you are dreaming, you are LDing

**lschievenin** · 05-13-2010 12:04 AM

ok. but i just felt lucid in a small part of the dream.
and it was not vivid as the real life (when i waked up,i felt it was very vivid, but than i stayed there for like an hour, just thinking in the dream, and when i wrote it down, it wasnt so vivid anymore). Its normal the first LD not being so VIVID?

and it wasnt really clear too.
was hard to look at the things.
and why when i saw my teacher i dont realized that it was still a dream, if i was lucid?

**Delwind** · 05-13-2010 12:36 AM

its normal some lucid dreams not to be vivid, and since it was the first, it is perfectly normal.
when you saw your teacher(father?) you had lost the lucidity, it is very common to lose lucidity, especially when false awakenings happen or when the scene changes drastically.

I had this happen to me before. If possible learn from it, think about what you can take from it to help you succeed or achieve the goals you want.

I had dreams like the infinite mirror phenomenon (shine a mirror at a mirror) before, talk about weird. I kept waking up in my bed, over and over trying to tell someone I had a LD. By time I woke up for real I was so groggy that I knew I was really awake that time. -_-
