Hello, I have not been participating in a while but thought I would share some more lucid thoughts or feelings I've experienced during dreams recently.

Awareness of lack of lucidity
I realized my finger was destroyed beyond repair, a gross and sad vision: "I have lost my finger forever". Time past. I was now in a drowsy but agitated state of thoughts. It felt like a lot was happening around me but that in this instant, my focus was turned inwards into thoughts. I remembered my destroyed finger but it felt like it would be very difficult to check if the memory was true. I was aware of how unclear and muddy my mind was. I consciously hoped it was because I was asleep. I hoped when I would wake up later, I would find out my finger was fine. So I consciously put a pin on that, thinking "I'll check on my finger once my mind is clear and hopefully this will all have been a dream."

The typical lucid dream
I was flying at high speed in the sky witnessing beautiful landscapes and somehow I noticed my hands. They were endlessly changing shape and I thought it was interesting that I was experiencing a very common lucid dream (it's not a common experience for me). That night, I was often lucid, finding pools to wade in and people to converse with. I was shocked how the pool remained where it was when I removed my shirt from habit. While I did it, I thought I made a mistake and the world would disappear behind a shirt that I could have just ignored into non-existence instead.

Somewhere in my mind
The dream was empty. I was just aware. It wasn't clear to me what state I was in but I knew it was an inner state, so I thought I might just pass the time imagining myself walking up a long spiral staircase and perhaps I would climb into a state of dreaming... but there was doubt in my mind. I walked up but this experience remained a superficial visualization that led to unconsciousness. When I woke up, I realized I could have been more confident.
