the perfect lucid... is it possible?

[Nightwalker]

Has anyone ever had a lucid dream that was so vivid and realistic and you were fully aware and were able to think like you would when awake. This is what i aspire to that i can have a dream that is am fully aware and everything is completely realistic and yet i can still do anything i want. I think this would be the ultimate lucid dream. I have come close on maybe two occasions but still think i have a way to go yet.Has anyone ever come close to this kind of lucidity?

[Chameleon]

Yes. Often. I sometimes recite my address and telephone number out loud to keep my logical brain from going mushy and losing lucidity! One time I even gave my real address to a dream hospital. I have also had the odd occasion where I am more lucid than in waking life. Hard to describe, that feeling. Cham

Well, I only have a single LD experience to go on, but when I became lucid in the dream I felt completely aware of what was going on, things were quite vivid and realistic. I remember thinking, "Ah-ha! At last" and said outloud, "Let's get to it" after which I easily flew, and had a sexual encounter (things I had thougt about before and "wanted to have happen"). I expect future LD's may not be as intense or last as long, but I'm expecting them to be so.

The most lucid I've ever been feeling like you know who and where you are, but you sort of lose connection to the dream world. It's very similar to being drunk. It's sort of like the stage that comes after "buzz", where you start to feel numb and you get tunnel vision, but you can still think.

I personally find that reciting poetry, long ones preferably, like "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (yes, I am a weirdo who memorizes things like that), helps me to stay lucid longer. The mind has to focus in order to remember, so I don't lose concentration.
