Thread: Lucidity via a crutch? - First Lucid Dream

I'm sure you were already fairly aware from the beginning, and the DC just triggered more awareness. After all, you could've just completely ignored what she said, instead of being skeptical or unsure, which would've meant you weren't conscious at all within the dream.

Yeah. Hence my saying I recognise she was simply a part of my subconscious. Nice to have someone confirm they feel the same way though.

I just haven't read about anyone being told by a DC that they're dreaming. More often than not, the accounts I've read have detailed people realising they're dreaming all on their own and simply using an RC to confirm that. I was told by a DC and then attempted to use an RC to prove them wrong.

Congrats on the lucid. It's not cheating if a DCs tells you it's a dream. In fact, it's an effective use of your unconscious mind. Remember that everything in the dream comes from your own mind. In waking life, you remind yourself to be aware. In a dream, your unconscious might manifest this reminder as another person.

I've had a DC tell me it was a dream and I did an RC to prove them wrong. xD Last night I became lucid because I saw something written on a white board that said to try to do something while lucid, then I went up to a DC, the owner of a certain place, and told him, I've been here before, but not lucid. After that I did a RC. I also tried to spin to change my dream, but it was a pretty fast spin. A DC told me I was spinning way too fast and just do a really slow one. Specifically, "Just roll it," was what she said, this caused me to wake up though. =/

Thanks for the congrats, sisyphus, and thanks for the kind words.

KushyBear, I'm so glad someone else has come across the same thing. I mean, I knew someone out there must have, It was just that I'd not read any accounts like that.
