Thread: Is it possible to have a dream about lucid dreaming?

I had a very similar experience the other night. In one dream I seemed to realize that I was dreaming, looked at my hands to try to gain control, and lost lucidity THREE TIMES within a few minutes (!), and like you said it seemed like a dream about a lucid dream. Kinda hard to explain... It was pretty strange and frustrating considering that I had three opportunities to have an LD but for some reason it didn't happen.
Maybe it's just that your sense of awareness was right at the threshold needed for a decent LD.

Yes, you can have dreams about lucid dreaming. I've done so a number of times myself, both lucidly and non. But you weren't just dreaming about LDing, your were dreaming lucidly, even if only on a low level.

Like others have said, if you decide you are dreaming then you have become lucid. However, if you only think - or suspect - yourself to be dreaming but never quite reach the firm conclusion that you actually are then you are considered to be "semi-lucid" or "pre-lucid". But I'd say you probably already had your foot through the door.
