Thread: How can one determine if the dream is 'lucid'?

Welcome

I don't remember 'thinking'. Just acting like I would in real life.

Just from personal experience here... the vast majority of my lucids are recognized by me thinking. My favourite recognition is when absolutely nothing weird is happening, but I randomly just think to myself, "What are the chances of this being a dream right now?" completely unprovoked.

But, I did have this one LD where I wasn't really thinking a whole lot, just kind of going along with the plot, and very gradually awareness of the dream started creeping in. There was never an OH! moment. It was so gradual that when it finally fully sank in, I just walked away from the scene.
