Ah, these dreams frustrate me, when I have them. |

When I had this experience, I tried to fly and barely could. My power was crap. It was frustrating. |

It's not that difficult of a concept. Have you ever had a dream you were a doctor? Superman? Spiderman? A member of the opposite sex? Someone married, or someone with kids, or somehow more powerful than you are now? Have you ever had a dream where you had to get to class for an exam but couldn't remember the room? Or a dream where you were a person whose teeth kept falling out? |

I want to make this absolutely perfectly clear. There is NO such thing as a false lucid. The term does NOT exist. It was bred here on DV by someone who didn't think they were lucid but in all actuality.. they were. If you are lucid, you are lucid. While there are various levels of lucidity, none of them are so low to where they are considered "false". |
|
Things are not as they seem
It may have seemed like you were only dreaming about lucidity, but the fact of the matter is that your control/awareness/involvement in the dream was so low that it didn't feel like a lucid at all. Which is perfectly alright, not everybody experiences the same level control or awareness, especially not beginners (except for the lucky few who have no trouble whatsoever). |

Staff, seriously. Kill it now or it will never die. |

Okay, that clears things up a little. |

So would last night's dream count as a lucid? I suppose it would, looking back on it... I was a fairy along with some other DC, and since we were fairies we were in a lucid dream. (of course, who hasn't heard of that rule? )I thought it was strange that the dream seemed so dreamlike, and not like a real lucid dream at all. I never exactly realized that I was dreaming. I just decided that I was in a dream. |

Lucid goals: Task of the Month:Drink some champagne or sparkling juice. [ ] Do a somersault in the air [ ] Breathe underwater [ ] Paint a picture on the floor or wall with my finger [ ] Fly! [ ]
I think I've had some of these. So you know your dreaming but you didn't think like "Hey I'm dreaming awesome, now I can do all this cool stuff"? I have had moments like these in nightmares. I know I'm dreaming and I think "Crap how do I get out of this dream?". So basically you just decide that your dreaming and that the dream is a bit strange, not to go all lucid and shit. |

Thank you Jeff. Being lucid is just knowing it is a dream. It doesn't mean you'll have control of anything or remember your goals or be able to stabilize the dream before waking or any of that stuff--all those things are separate skills that you need to practice once you are already lucid. Getting lucid is just the first (and hardest) step. |
