well, i had a dream that wasn't lucid at first, but i then said to myself, hey this isn't real, and i close my eyes and i turned out to be at a mall. I started telling my subconscious that they can do whatever they want to. I jumped really high, then i flew for a while. the whole time i was in a mall.
My question is: was i lucid, or can you have a DREAM about thinking your lucid.
Never close your eyes in a lucid dream; you have to remain aware of your surroundings to avoid destabilizing the dream!
As for your question: you can definitely have a dream that you're lucid, but not actually lucid. The thing that differentiates between the two types is whether or not you felt a sudden awareness within the dream. Lucids are 99.9% characterized by the person feeling conscious within the dream. If you're just going through things like a normal dream, except you're saying things like "I'm dreaming", it wasn't a lucid, just a dream with day residue: stuff you've thought about during the day, like dreaming. :)
Puffin is right :D
Also, moving the thread to lucid experiences, as that is the forum we talk about lucid dreams, specifically :D :hug:
thats true, It depends. Could you control exactly what you were doing like it was waking life?
thank you for your reply puffin.
and yes moongrass, i think i could control myself, because i remember being excited that i can fly and jump high.
than it most likely would have to be a lucid dream, I always no when Im lucid cuz I instantly try to do a reality check or 2.
