Thread: Dream Incubation vs LDs?

How do you personally view Dream Incubation in relation to Lucid Dreams?

I had what I consider two lucids last night. I did take melatonin (Only to put me out), but I listened to Hemi-sync "Sweet Dreams," and did my first attempt at incubation. I focused on my girlfriend (As usual lol), and followed the directions.

I woke up in the middle of the night, flicked on a light only to grab some ear plugs to help me sleep. My bed felt a lot similar to the times where I've attempted WBTBs even though I was up for all of a minute. I went to bed hoping to just get good rest, and I ended up having two really vivid dreams that were quite on par with my goals. I don't think there was direct control, but when I found her in my dream, things became more vivid and I did feel conscious awareness.

But I think the incubation took over more than actual Lucid Dreaming per se. I did put it in my count, but I'm still unsure if it could really be considered completely lucid.

Just wanted to hear everyone's scope on the whole thing.
