Thread: Reasons for not Lucid dreaming

You don't have to take control in order to have a lucid dream. The other night I realized I was dreaming and just kept on doing what I had been doing. The result was I remembered the entire dream perfectly, but it had the same content as a normal dream.

Cool, Ken Wilbur calls this Pellucid dreaming, I think it sounds like a really valuable thing to do with dream consciousness. Over controling dreams, or headonistic indulgunce begins to feel shallow. Wilbur talks about just witnessing. He then talks about extending this witnessing into the dreamless deep sleep, where there is no individual identity or thought, remain witnessing as dream images and subconsciousness awake, and remain witnessing as the personality awakens, and sits on the witnessing like a coat.
Did you maintain good awarness that it was a dream? Did you use any induction technique?
Sounds pretty cool

no induction techniques, I was just stepping outside for a bike ride and I realized I was dreaming. I spun a few times and hopped on my bike. After riding for a little while and seeing some awesome dreamscapes, i wound up in some different places, in dreamlike scenarios, and acted the same way as i normally would in a dream, except concious that I was doing it. It was very strange. It was almost as if I was just watching myself act, but still in the first person. Basically it was similar to any nonlucid dream except knowing in the back of my mind that I was dreaming and remembering everything when I woke up. It was pretty cool, I'll see if I can do it again.
