      Half-Lucid dreaming

      This is one of my latest lucid-type dreams that I've had, and is my most memorable. You'll see why I use the title later on.

      First off I (yes, I'll admit it) am a Harry Potter fan. I love the books, and the movies, for the most part, have been pretty good.

      Anyway, a few months ago, I woke up at 6:30 in the morning for absolutely no reason (I seem to be really good at that...) and was, thankfully, able to get back to sleep. However, in that time, I dreamt that I was in a Quidditch tournament. Now this is where it gets tricky. I didn't know that I was in a dream, I thought I was actually in the wizarding world and in the tournament. However, I was able to fully control my actions and realize (within the realm of Harry Potter) what the consequences of those actions would be (I can now truthfully say that I know what it feels like to simply fly, despite it being with the aid of a broomstick). I had a lot of fun flying around, bouncing off of the safety net, (yes, there was one, something I seem to have added), chasing the snitch, and batting the bludger at the other team's chasers. But the only point at which I realized that I was dreaming all of ths was when I woke up.
      Has anyone else had any experiences like this, and would it be considered an LD or even an HLD?

      First of all - HARRY POTTER RULES! Here's an interesting Potter thread you might be interested in reading. Yes, I am also a self-admitted Harry Potter nerd.

      I feel obligated to reply because I've had quite a few Potter dreams as well. Never a Quidditch one, yet, though. That would be great.

      Anyway, from your description of the dream, it sounds like you have some control, but you didn't actually realize you were in a dream. So, sadly, you're dream wouldn't be considered lucid. It sounds like you were really close, though, experiencing that degree of control, and realizing you were dreaming right after you woke up.

      Keep practicing and having fun dreams!

      Sadly, no lucid my friend You had another form of ND - the ones that I personally don't get that much often but do occasionaly get. You have almost full control of your movement/actions and your dream is NOT like a movie. Although they can be fun, if you dont know that your dreaming - then you are not lucid. just having a fun dream

      I'm afraid that's not really a lucid dream. The term I use for those cases is a "subconscious ego manifest". It's very vivid, I gather, and you play a big role, but you're not actually controlling it or interacting with it much in that sense.

      Keep practising; nearly there!

      99.99% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you have and you've enjoyed it, copy & paste this into your signature line. Everyone else, you're lying!
