Sounds like a hypnagogic hallucination...which can be very vivid upon waking up and even mimic a semi-dream state. |

I was dreaming, like normal, then it switched from the dream to what I normally see in bed when I lie on my right side. I remember being immediately aware of a Jaguar (I knew this somehow) clawing at the bottom of my mattress from underneath my bed. I remember feeling the mattress press up to my side whenever it clawed the bed. This lasted about 2 seconds, until I thought "If I go into S.P., this will stop" |

I suppose thats what it is. It didn't feel like a proper dream, so I doubt it was some kind of uncontrollable lucid. |

Sometimes the two overlap and almost become indistinguishable. I honestly think they need to create a new category which constitute the really bizarre semi-dreams that occur during hypnagogia and SP. These would include any in-bed experiences like visits from Incubi/Succubi, some perceived OBEs, and distortions of waking reality such as disconnected limbs, alien visitors, etc. They just seem to lump these into SP experiences, but I personally think it deserves it's own category...because it's not really JUST a hallucination, but not really a dream either. But I guess the bottom line is that they aren't lucid dreams. |

A lucid dream is a dream that you are aware in. If you were aware that you were dreaming than yes it was a lucid. |

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.-Charley pride
Yeah, I think is was HH. Even so, it's still some sort of progress for me. A step up from just a normal dreaming night. |
