Hi, this is my first time on this site.

I have been trying to remember my dreams and trying to decipher them for some time now and have only just gained full time access to the resources to do so.

I do have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to.

I do have dreams at night in deep sleep that I sometimes remember, sometimes not. A lot of the time though, I'm an early morning dreamer. I don't remember starting these dreams, but they often start with a memory or a wishful vision and go from there. I can almost always steer them in whatever direction I choose. This does sound like daydreaming but I know that I'm asleep while it's happening. I am completely unaware of my surroundings and I forget all but the gist of the dream once I wake up. Also, if I'm sleepy enough, I can dive back into the dream fairly successfully.

But is this actually lucid dreaming?

Unsure
