Hi All, nice to meet you guys.

My name is Nur Lan, 19 years old from Israel.
I used to subscribe to this forum a while ago while I was exercising
lucid dreams techniques, and which I quit after a few weeks of no apparent
success.
Now I'm retryring it with more devotion, and within only two weeks of
exercising MILD (first week and a half were devoted to improving my memory
using the exercise mentioned on Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming / S.
Laberge) I had already had two lucid dreams.

My question is (and thanks to those who kept reading beyond the tiring
exposition , how can I really be sure that my lucid dream was not actually
a 'regular' dream, in which I dreamt of being lucid?
Recollections I've read about lucid dreams described them involving a
feeling of 'hyper-reality' and a striking sense of consciousness. In my
dream I remember saying 'this is a dream', looking at my hands(I can't
recall ever doing so in a dream), and trying to hover over a waterfall. But
still I don't remember feeling this sense of striking reality and
consciousness.

Can it be, after weeks of reading and thinking of lucid dreaming, that I've
only dreamt of being lucid?


Thanks in advance,
Nur Lan
