Thread: False Lucid Dreams

A false lucid dream is when you DREAM that you know you are dreaming.
So you are not aware of the real situation.
You are in the dream, you say "I'm dreaming" but the dreaming continues normally, with you unaware, but the plot is different, the plot is now about "what you will do if you know you are dreaming". So you are never conscious of what is really happening.
A False Lucid Dream is totally different from a Real Lucid Dream.


In the Real Lucid Dream you really know you are dreaming, and you are simply conscious of your real situation.

In the False Lucid Dream, Is the same as above, plus it's all a dream, I mean, you dream "you really know you are dreaming, and you are simply conscious of your real situation."

This problem as attacked me since I started to try to achieve a Lucid Dream.
In those dream, I do Reality checks, I think I'm aware, and I do whatever I want, but when I wake up, I understand that it was a dream like the others, in where you are not conscious, and you not really know that is a dream.

So, what's the point?

the point is how to stop this.
how to use the False Lucid Dream, to achieve a LUCID DREAM!

I'm having 1 FLD every 2,3 days.And it's a little frustrating.
I have to say that in real life I only do RC whenever I see something a bit strange. not ALWAYS(because I done it always and it did worked too much)
I even met people with the same problem, so here I am, to stop this. To take advantage of the FLD to have beautifuls LD!

I think that one of the solutions, is this:

-Every time you do a RC,Question yourself about you real situation....ask "If now, in this moment, I dreaming that I know I'm dreaming?"
Work with that.

Now, If you want to add strategies, it will excellent..
If WE were able to take advantage of the FLD, I think we would turn into Natural Lucid Dreams, eh?

Gooooodbye!!!

=)

Honestly, there is quite enough unnecessarily confusing terminology, so I have edited your post to remove the definitions.

This is something that happens especially to those new to lucid dreaming. Give it some time, work on how you do your reality checks, and you'll likely stop having them as you become more familiar with lucid dreaming.

Some time? how much?
It will happen what I expect to happen??

Those false lucid dreams are a first step of attaining a real lucidity during your dreams. It's a good sign, so be patient.

mmm, I need more info, I have been looking for more threads, but ...nothing.
Can someone explain me If I am right or not?

Some time? how much?

That kind of thing varies from one person to another.
Like the others said, it's common for people to start with "false" ou "near" lucids and then, a few "whatever kind of" lucids later their brains finally get it right.
If it makes you feel better, change your RCs like that - it won't hurt, I suppose. Or you can just keep on with your normal routine, not worry so much about it, and it should come to you soon.

It sometimes happens to me that when my sleep is too heavy I don't fully "break through" and really feel "awake". I know I'm dreaming and can do whatever I want, but the dream still feels fuzzy and "normal". I don't know a way around that one, though. It just a matter of keep on trying.

You can also look for threads containing the term "semi-lucid." More or less, it will just take practice. Keep doing reality checks and in the meantime, enjoy your dreams. If you're not 100% lucid, don't let it stress you out. Different people progress at different rates. You may find yourself lucid tonight, and I certainly hope so Just enjoy the ride.

-dreams (lucid or not) have a certain degree of 'Vividness', and that lucid dreams which arnt very vivid arnt very exciting and seem/feel like normal dreams.

I think that there is also a difference from a dream persona being lucid and me being lucid. It's one thing for me to be consciously aware of a dream, and another for a DC following the story of the dream (with the story being that he/she is dreaming).

Just to clarify, by a "persona" I mean the character that you are during any point in the dream. Sometimes I'm myself, and sometimes my point of view is through someone else.

I hope this helps a little.
