Thread: Two kinds of dreams?

Is a lucid dream specifically different from a normal dream? Or is a lucid dream when a normal dream becomes controlable. Because I have a lot of "normal dreams" Where I dont even think about doing a reality check or have any control at all. Thanks for the help guys =)

Dr. LaBerge is currently doing a study on the difference of content from a normal dream and a lucid dream. We don't know yet.

Oh come on!!! haha

Do you mean, is there something inherently different about the dream, even before you become lucid? Meaning, some dreams you have no chance of becoming lucid, while others are primed for lucidity to take over?

Yeah haha you worded my question better- do you have an answer for that?

I've never thought of it that way before.

Thinking of my own experience, I know I have become lucid in a variety of dreams. Different subject matter, different 'feel' to the dream. I can't think of anything that the dreams had in common, besides the fact that they all eventually evolved into a lucid dream.

So, yes, 'prelucid' dreams are a certain kind of dream. But, no, there is nothing special about them besides their classifying definition.
