im lucid?

ok, i dont know how
but last night i was having a dream and all of a sudden became lucid.
i didnt notice anything was weird, i just was, and then i did my reality checks.
how come i just knew i was dreaming?
thanks

Congratulations!

That's really the way it works though - it's about awareness, not reality checks. Usually the reality checks are done after you're already lucid just as a confirmation.

yes, but what i mean is, how DID i become aware?
i didnt pay attention or anything, i just became lucid for no reason

Sometimes it just happens randomly. I had a few lucids that way long before I had ever heard of lucid dreaming or reality checks. Of course, being aware of these things helps to keep it in the forefront of your mind, and makes it more likely. The more you think about lucid dreaming, the more likely you are to experience it.

i guess that was kinda helpful

Well that's just my take on it. It sounds like you wnt to know why it happened so you can make it happen that way again - maybe somebody can give better advice idk - I've only had 8 lucids myself so far!! :panic:

8 is still a big number ;)

It's sometimes possible to just recognize the 'feel' of a dream. You might not know immediately what makes you realize it. You suddenly just become aware that you're dreaming.

ok?

Hmm. Well, it may have been a simple answer, but it comes from years of experience, if that's any consolation. :chuckle:

sry if i offended u
ur explanation is still good.

no, i dont mean urs isnt advanced enough
what i mean is like something that the answer has been found to, not some "theory'

Oh, so what you're saying then is:

But WHY??!!! :horse:

i cant see that

Fixed so it makes sense even if pic doesn't show :cheeky:

Lizh describing what it is like in can be difficult, I see you've had a few lucid dreams, so the best way for "a good answer" would be to take it from your experience.
The reason why you questioned it was a dream is because something odd will have made you increase in awareness, the chance of this happening is dependent on how aware you are in real life, to increase the chance of this, be more aware in real life...

Oh and listen to O, he's quite

Pro Tip: The longer you stay around here, the more you get to know people around here. ;)

sry, didnt know him, not like other ppl though

Congrats on a Lucid, Its happened to me before, you don't always have to pick up on a dreamsign to get lucid, as said above it all depends on awareness... and a little bit of luck ;)

thanks
