When I was little, I would have nightmares quite often. Occasionally when I had nightmares, I would think to myself, "This can't be real, this must be a dream. Wake up wake up." And sometimes I would be able to wake myself up this way, sometimes I wouldn't. I don't think I actually knew I was in a dream though. I think I might have just acted as characters you see in scary shows, where people say "This can't be real, I must be dreaming". Do you think what I experienced was lucid dreaming?
