Thread: What are lucid dreams?

I understand that they're dreams you are in control, but I'm not sure if I'm exactly in control completely during my dreams which leaves me to believe I'm in some middle ground between non-lucid and lucid. Anyone have a better explanation of lucid or maybe an example?

You do not have to be in control of dreams to be lucid, this is a common misconception as most people talk about the control part when explaining lucid dreaming.

A lucid dream is dreaming whilst being aware that you are dreaming.

Okay, that makes more sense. I've never really paid attention to those kind of details when dreaming so that may be something I'll think about after my next dream.
