Thread: Does this count as a LD?

I think that if you were aware that you were dreaming, then it counts. Lucidity does not exactly mean being in control. Check the main site for the definition.

yes that definatly means you had a lucid dream, as long as you knew that you were dreaming then you had a lucid dream. control comes later, some get control on there first try and some dont. i think what you experienced was WBTB or somthing im not quite sure what its called. but it means that you wook up in a dream in your bed. im not realy an expert but im preaty sure that's what you experinced.

some one want to correct me on this go right a head

This could have been a Wake-Back-To-Bed, or a False Awakening. Both are good ways to get a Lucid.

I had two lucid dreams this week, on two consecutive nights. They weren't great, though. Both were very fuzzy, and the second one I realised I was dreaming and then forgot again. It's a start, though, I suppose.

i'm new, too. and i think from what you said it's a lucid dream.

ya it takes practice to keep lucid throught your dream, iv herd this from other post that it is a challeng to keep lucid. but that is a lucid dream as long as you know that you were dreaming for a bit.

I'd say its a LD lucid dreams are dreams that you know are dreams you dont have to be in control all you have to do is know its a dream.

Congrats on your first LD!

It is tricky. There are sometimes dreams that a person will have, especially (I have observed from posts by new members) to those who are first learning about lucid dreaming. These are dreams where you dream that you are lucid, but aren't actually lucid. It's hard to describe or explain them. Mine were always about me running around telling people about lucidity, or telling people I was lucid, but I wasn't really conscious and certainly not lucid. I wasn't even conscious enough to go "Hey, I'm telling people I'm dreaming, that must mean I'm dreaming."

If you think your dream was like that, then it probably wasn't lucid. If you actually knew, consciously and while aware during the dream's progress, that you were in a dream, then I'd say it was a lucid.

It's really hard for someone who didn't experience it to make the judgment; you have to depending on how you feel about it, where you think the line should be drawn, and what you think it was. Just know that dreams about being lucid while not lucid are possible, and are not that uncommon.
