Many people have a misunderstanding of what Lucid Dreaming is. Like Puffin and Moose said, "as long as you realized you were dreaming, you were lucid."

However, what almost all new people don't realize is that there are different levels of Lucidity, Awareness, and Consciousness.

Most people think that the meaning of Lucid means you will have 100% control of everything, you will be 100% conscious, and it will feel like waking life. This isnt always true. It is hard to make a like of whats Lucid and whats Non-Lucid, considering there are soooo many definitions, thoughts, and ideas..

I know the difference between them all, what's what, etc... But PERSONALLY, In MY terms of Lucidity, I say "If you arent 100% aware, conscious and have control, you arent lucid". I mean, what makes your dream any different from a high-level dream? Nothing really. But in "REAL" lucid dreams, nothing compares, and there is literally no limitation or question. ...but that's my personal outlook on it, not the forums/other peoples... and when I give advice to people, I do so based on the forums and the general population.
