Thread: Finally lucid!

I had an interesting LD last night. I was walking along in a city wearing nothing but a t-shirt, on my way to perform at a rock concert. It dawned on me that it was an odd situation, and I wondered if I was dreaming. I considered doing a RC, but then just thought, "nah, stuff that. I'm dreaming."

The weird thing is that instead of realising I was dreaming, I seemed to just decide it. I then tried a watch RC, which has worked for me in the past, and it said the same thing both times. I did a nose RC and that worked fine. I like that one.

Anyway what I'm getting at is that I think we always know on some level if we're dreaming. I guess the key is to drill the message into your mind to remember to acknowledge you are dreaming, rather that "test" if you are dreaming.

EDIT: Another thing I should mention, this happened after a long dry spell. For the last week or so I have not thought much about LDs or tried to induce them, so I guess if you're having a dry spell, just forget about LDs for a while and you might have one.
