Who had the lucid dream?

[Wallydraigle]

I've never had much luck with luicd dreaming in the past. I'd get to the point where I would realize that I was dreaming, and just wake up instanly. This has happened on several occasions. I've been working especially hard at it lately, and I think I might have had my first one last night, but maybe not. It's kind of convoluted. I dreamed I was in a hospital bed trying to get to sleep. I've never been in a hospital bed, so that probably helped me out. My dream self fell asleep and dreamed of being diembodied in a weird kind of abstract space. It's hard to describe, but it was like living in a printed page where the words are real objects and moved around. That's the best I can do. It was pretty messed up. All of a sudden it hit me that it was a dream, and I was happy that all my efforts had paid off. I didn't have much time to play around because after a few moments I became aware of my body, and felt my glasses slipping down my nose (I was asleep on the road when this took place, and really did have my glasses on). I wondered if I would wake up if I tried to push them up, and went for it. When I did, I woke up in the hospital bed and then some other stuff happened that wasn't very nice. Eventually I woke up for real (Or did I? ) and remembered it pretty well. I'm not sure if I went lucid, or if my dream self did. What if I had had more time to experience it, and even though I recongized that I was dreaming, still believed myself to be in the hospital bed? Whatever I had, it was a step in the right direction, and I hope to take another soon.

I know I already welcomed you in a PM, but welcome again, anyway!

You may not have had much control, and your level of lucidity may have been fairly low, but if you were aware of the fact that you were dreaming, then it was definitely a LD. And as you said, it's a (big) step in the right direction! <!--QuoteBegin-Wallydraigle I was asleep on the road when this took place I'd like to know what this means. It sounds like you were either lying in the middle of the road, or driving, neither of which sounds very good!

Oops. I was a passenger in a vehicle. The dream took place around 4:00AM
