Was It A Lucid Dream? Ask Here!

[Clyde Machine]

An official thread for this question! Hey, DeeVee folks! It's Clyde here, and I've seen the last topic on "Was this lucid dream?" that I care to. Here's why: Most of the time if not every time, I it let go by with the simple explanation: Read the definition of a lucid dream and answer it yourself. From Wikipedia: Lucid dreaming. "A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can seem extremely real and vivid depending on a person's level of self-awareness during the lucid dream.[1]" From Dictionary.com: Lucid dream. "Main Entry: lucid dream Part of Speech: n Definition: a dream state in which one is conscious enough to recognize that one is in the dream state and which stays in one's memory" That answer your question? I hope it did, and I hope you had a lucid dream! However, if you are still not sure if what you experienced was a lucid dream, please post it in its entirety here, and we will do our best to help you decide if what you had was indeed an experience where you were aware you were in a dream. Please note the following about lucid and non-lucid dreams: Simply saying "I am dreaming" within a dream does not mean you are lucid, unless you actually realize it. Just as you can have a lucid dream and NOT have control, it is possible to have a non-lucid dream and HAVE control. Control does not imply lucidity! The only person who can truly tell if what you experienced was a lucid dream is yourself, so make sure you're asking yourself the right questions, and are being honest with yourself. This topic is intended to help if you're really unsure and want a second opinion. Thank you!
