Thread: Just a week and 2 lucids!

Wow, I think I started about a week ago and already 2 lucids! I've been pretty dedicated though. But this one I didn't wake up immediately after I figured it out... Matter of fact, I don't really remembering "waking up." As far back as I could remember I had full control in the dream, I was lucid... hmm... Well.. come to think of it, I don't recall ever thinking "this is a dream." But I acted just as though I KNEW it was... Hmm... Is this considered lucid?

I was at a school with my wife and an old buddy from high school. I just remember wanting to fly but it felt like my mind wasn't ready yet. Almost it would be to hard to render it or something just yet. So I casually floated to the tops of the schools roofs with my wife and friend. I never questioned once whether they were real or not. I assumed they were real. After that we saw a couple walking and I knew they weren't real. So as they turned a corner, I manifested a T-rex (kind of a sickly T-rex for some reason) and it went after them around the corner. We went out onto this large lawn and I asked my friend what I should do. And my friend said "Well, didn't you want to meet people who you look up to and gain stronger enlightenment?" (Which is one of my dream goals) and just before a response, I woke.

Sounds like a cool dream, but I'm not sure weather or not is was lucid. The deffinition of a lucid dream is a dream in which you realize you are dreaming.

Sometimes it is not immedialty obvious wether or not a dream of mine was lucid because I never thought, "This is a dream." But if I remember back I thought something that indicated I knew I was dreaming, generally something like, "I love this dream," or "That is the dumbest DC I've ever seen," or something else along those lines.

Yeah.. That's true. I remember seeing DC's and KNOWING they weren't real but I never once thought to myself "This is a dream" just that I knew I could control it... Hmm... Also, like I said, I thought my wife and friend were REAL. Oh well.. It's progression! Haha!
