Thread: Did I Have A Lucid Dream?

I was wondering if you could tell me if I had a Lucid Dream.
Here's how it started . . . .

I had read about astral projection and was wondering about it so i decided to look it up on the internet and stumbled across lucid dreaming. I thought that I would have more luck with Lucid Dreaming than astral projection so I read up on it and then tried to take a nap and do experience it.( This is all in one day.) I started to get dreams but as soon as I relized that I was dreaming I woke up. I did this about 5 or 6 times. Finally I dreamed that I was going to bed and that my brother was sitting on another bed and that I shouldn't be scared because he was there and when I woke up he would be there so then I went to sleep and dreamed this inside my dream that I was in a cabin and was sitting on a bed and in front of me was a shirt where people had written their names on it and the names were kinda fuzzy. I turned around and someone walked in the door that I hadn't seen for a really long time. They said that someone wanted to see me. (They actually said a name but it was also fuzzy) I said ok and went to another bed. I then felt bumping on my head and I looked up and noticed that I had on a helment that I hadn't had on before that and that a hand with a white glove on it was hitting me in the head so I told myself that I had read that if you were having a nightmare you could eaisly get out of it. So I tried to open my eyes and couldn't I had to reach up and open my eyes and then I woke up. This all happened in about 15 min. I think that it was a lucid dream and was excited after I woke up, but I'm not really sure. So did I have a Lucid Dream?

Thanks, Carley

Sounds like you had a lucid dream even though you woke up right after realising you were dreaming (it usually happens on the first few lucids).

Welcome to the forum btw

[EDIT] You might want to check the tutorials section.

Hi! Welcome to the forum.
A lucid dream is a dream, in which you know you are dreaming. So it sounds like you had quite a few. If you knew that you were dreaming in the second part (the nightmare part that is), then you had a lucid dream there too.
If you are interested in all this and want to keep doing it, I suggest you start a dream journal. It will help you improve your dream recall, or help you spot dream signs.

See ya around!
