Thread: Am I getting close??

Well last night I had a really wierd dream. It was the first one i remembered in a week, but I was in the dream and for some reason i thought the Vikings were in the Super Bowl. (They are my favorite team) The problem was i couldnt remeber how they got there. And for another reason i rembered the Seahawks and the Steelers were supposed to be there and thought something was wrong. So i sat down to try to figure things out. I knew i was supposed to do something if i thought i was somewhere but i couldnt think straight if my life depended on it. I sat there for like 5 min in dream time until i woke up. I think i was trying to rember how to do an RC but IDK. Can anyone tell me if i was close to an LD or what that was???

Congrats! The very fact that you realised in the dream that something was out of place mean that you were still thinking properly, something that is important for LDing. Now, I haven't really had a proper LD myself, so i dunno if this was an actual LD or not, but if anything, it sure sounds close. For next time, if something that you are "thinking" in a dream is strange (or possibly even defies what you DO know in your case) train yourself to say "Hey, this must be a dream!" Mind you, remember to do a RC before doing anything stupid

Yes you were close. YOu perhaps experinced a pre-lucid stage. That stage is where you realize that something about your situation or surroundings are not right. Just do more Reality Checks durring the day and these pre-lucid times will turn into normal LDs.
