Thinking Of A Ld

Hi all.

Ok, I'll get right into it. I attempted WBTB, but I didn't wake up to my 'bidibibip' alarm clock, and I slept through until 5:00 in the morning (which is pretty strange, considering I went to bed at 1:00. I Only read a comic book) so I did the usual thing to do in a WBTB, then I got back to sleep. I then woke up at 6:00, not remembering anything, then went to sleep, 8:00 I woke up, didn't remember anything. Here's the odd part of the 'story'. Just as I was about to go back to sleep again (I usually sleep 9 hours or more which is why I went back to sleep) for some reason, my mind put something in my head. It wasn't a dream, it was merely a thought in the shape of a dream. I was in a 'thought dream' and I counted my fingers. I had 6 on a hand. I knew it wasn't a dream because I could still see whatever it is you see when you have your eyes closed before you sleep. It was a thought in my head that I didn't create. Anyway, after I counted I had 6 fingers, I said 'hey, this is a dream', and I was 'lucid'. I just stood there and continued counting my fingers, then the thought sort of faded away. I had little or no control over the thought. I just wanted to know why I seemed to be lucid in a thought. that's what I want to ask you guys. Was it merely a thought or was I actually lucid in my thoughts? (which I think we all are, but this thought wasn't created by me, and my mind seemed to do a RC on it's own and I went from there). I hope to get some answers soon! :)

cheers,

It sounds like you were doing something similiar to day dreaming.

I&#39;ve had it happen to me, you&#39;re lying in bed, not quite asleep, your thoughts begin to wander, you know it&#39;s not a dream but you know that you&#39;re not awake. Did you see any imagery? and if so, how vivid was it? When this happens to me the imagery is but a mere outline against a dark fuzz, difficult to percieve any detail within the images.
