For some background info I have only had one full lucid that lasted about 5 seconds. I am a natural at remembering dreams and have had a dream journal since I was 8 years old. I've been working with dreams for about a little over a year.

I know it has happened in the past to me, maybe only once or twice at most. Recently I had two occurances of it close to each other. What is it? A limited Lucid?

First time a week ago I was in some dream where i was chasing after somone in a foresty area with broken buildings. I then encountered a 10 foot wide river with some 10 foot high banks. The man I was chasing quickly flew across.

Now before this as the dream was progressing I knew more and more that i was dreaming, but it was like one of those subconcious side thoughts. It was likea very vague thought in my head. Anywho at the river I knew I had to get across and I told myself, "Well im dreaming so I might as well just save myslef the trouble and make a boat."

My dream faded out really fast but I managed to focus on the boat and the detail of it and it went back. However I continued on with the dream as normal.

It was like this before and after the boat experiance, I could affect minor things if I wanted but the dream was still in control and I had no incentive to do anything, as I had not actually gone, "OH!! I am DREAMING.. Of course!!".

This happen to anyone else? Whats it classified as?


2nd experiance (ill make it short). I was sleeping in math class (and this happens a lot, usually after I wake up in the morning BEFORE school).

I wasnt really in a dream but I kinda was. Its like staring at blackness but going throughout your dream in your head. I was visualising it and doing whatever I wanted, and it wasnt just like your visualising somthing, because it acted on its own and it WAS a dream. I just wasnt in it. Its like being lucid while being half asleep. you cant move your body in RL but you cant really see the lucid either.
