Thread: I almost had a lucid dream, almost

i think it was for him like when something wierd happens in real life.
i go like omg this isnt real. but i dont really mean its a dream.
and if you didnt mean that, and you knew you were dreaming, then it was a lucid dream. sounds like the lucidty was really weak. a RC would remove doubts and some hand rubbing will higher the lucidty.
kinda reminds me when i had a dream, i was about to the a rc, but i was in the middle of something and i said 'ill do it right after' and i eventually forgot

That's a good point - albeit, an aside. But since you brought it up, let me just reiterate that waiting to do a reality check is usually a bad decision when the even the slightest suspicion is already there. In dreams, we live in the moment (that's why most people never question things like "How did I get here?" or "Since when am I an astronaut?") so we tend to lose our power of reflection in thought. This makes it very easy to completely forget about our intentions - to do an RC - unless we occupy our mind with it by either going ahead and doing it or continually repeating our intention to do so.

Radical! That's how both of my lucids have gone. I think that the moment you say "I'm dreaming!" it counts as a lucid dream. The next step is just to work on making it last longer so you can gain more control. Congrats!

i couldn't control the dream, i think i lost the knowledge of a dream after that
