No sense in clogging up multiple forums for this so I am just going to compile a lot of the questions I have. Some I have partial answers and others I think only those who are experienced Lucid Dreamers will be able to answer.

First off, Hi. This is my first post but I have been lurking a while and have had the site bookmarked for even longer. I first read about Lucid Dreaming about a year ago but never really put any effort to trying it even though it sounds awesome. I just put my mind to the task six days ago by keeping a dream journal and progress has been promising. I have remembered at least two dreams a night since I started, with three being the max. I have had some to where I can recall the majority and others only a detail or two. Side note to new people, if you keep a dream journal write it down as soon as possible and do not slack. I missed about two full dreams because I waited to write them down.


Anyway, enough of the intro, now to the questions.

1. For dream recall, some of the techniques for Lucid Dreams require about ten a week. Does this typically mean that the dreamer recalls the majority of a dream or just the fact that they remember part of the dream? I personally have had a few dreams I wrote down but only remember minor details; for example I only remembered being in a dark room for one dream, talking to someone in another and fighting someone in yet another.

2. Is it possible to have a 'False' Lucid Dream? Last night I suddenly dawned on the fact that I was dreaming. The text book steps would be to calm yourself down so you do not come out of it but I got excited too quickly and woke up in an instant. Now I interpreted this as the beginning of a Lucid Dream but then I also thought that my brain knows the same thing (obviously) and could conjour up a dream about achieving lucidity and then end. I hardly remember waking up because I almost immediately went into a different dream.

3. For all techniques is it possible to be partially lucid? I woke up about two days ago and noticed it was a little early and went back to sleep. It seemed immediate when I was back in a dream. I felt as if I could control my movements, if only barely. That dream only lasted 30-45 minutes before I woke up again. I think it might have been a WILD or some variant.


I feel as if I am progressing quickly for lucid dreamers so these questions popped up. I have read everything on the main page and some of the different techniques. If I go to sleep before I get a reply I will update this if needed. It is like a new question comes about every time I make a step


I appreciate any who help and hope that the answers help anyone else with the same questions. Would be this far if it was not for this community
