Thread: Is it a lucid dream ?

I had my first ever lucid dream (?) this morning 6.30 am. Nov 6 Sun.

Let me explain it.

I joined this forum only two days ago. But I had researched on this topic very much. I dont keep a dream journal but I tries to remember my dreams always. I do my reality check by looking at my hands and counting the fingers. Some times I look at clocks.

My dream...

" I was travelling in a two wheeler with two of my friends. ie., three of us were travelling in a two wheeler. Both of them are my real life best friends Vishwajith and Hisham. Hisham was riding the bike. Vishwajith sat behind Hisham and I sat behind Vishwajith at the edge of the bike. When we were travelling at light speed we saw a Police man looking at us. I was sure that he will punish us. ( which usually happens in real life. We three usually travel in a single bike ! ). But the police man didn't punish us and this made me do a reality check in my dream ( For the very first time ). I looked at my hands. But nothing was wrong. Both of the hands were perfect with five fingers each. Soon I noticed that both of my friends were missing. So I looked at the hands once more. This time I noticed that the thumb finger of my left hand was very longer than usual. It had branches on it. And this made me feel that I am dreaming.

I was very excited. And I started running through the road. The problem was that I remembered all the research done by me and tried to do each and every lucid dreaming experiences in that single second. I tried to make the world more clear by spinning myself. But I was not able to do that since I was in a hurry. I noticed a cow. Its color was blue and I changed its color to green just by thinking about it. Then I noticed a girl in the top floor of a two floor building. She was dressed in a ancient Greek style. Seeing that girl noticing me I waved my hand to her. At that time I remembered a forum thread " Saying your dream " . I shouted my name to her. Which is my real name. I shouted my name three times and this made me awake. "

That is it. But some doubts. I was not excited very much after this. So is it a real lucid dream. Or am I dreaming about becoming lucid ?

Can I suggest to new dreamers. "Never read so much before you have your first lucid dream."

Can I consider me as a " Lucid scholar ". ( knowing very much but experience very less. I know 'experience is knowledge' )

.

Hi there! Welcome to Dreamviews, and you, you can clal your slef a Lucid scholar hehe. what do you have with out knowledge right? It is im portant. Anyways, That sounded like an amazing Lucid dream! That was 100% a Lucid Dream ebacse you had control and even rememebrd to perform the Lucid Task of the Month. So it seemed that if you do shout yoru name, you wake up. Interesting. But now that you know you had one alreayd, you will eb able to have another soon. Sounds awsome. Kepp up the good work. It doenst seem liek youll need too much help, btu if you do please PM me.

Definitely a lucid dream - you were aware you were dreaming and that's the only criterion as I understand it.

I tend to have the same problem (staying in the dream) the few times I've been lucid; but I'm just happy I've been lucid a few times at this point!

Instead of trying to control the whole dream try seating up the situation and then ride it like a wave.
