Can this be considered an LD?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Does knowing that you’re dreaming and then forget it considered Lucid Dreaming?

I was running from a group of hounds chasing me around a town that kinda look like a guerillas hideout. Spontaneously I realized that these idiots are haunting my dreams for a lot of times now. I got annoyed and yelled at them “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?” (Kinda, doesn’t remember much) and they ran away.
I can’t remember the rest of my dreams much but I’m pretty sure I forgot that I’m dreaming.

I’ve been asking myself the exact same question. I dream, I achieve lucidity and my mind feels clear, but it won’t last long. Slowly it’ll sneak in, and the awareness seems to be lost.

What are the boundaries? When do you know you’re on the right way and when is a dream really lucid?

Does the rule: “When you’re lucid, you’ll know” apply?

@ Objective:

As long you had the moment like this is a dream, or I’m dreaming or something similar then it was a lucid dream… As it seems that this is one of your constant DS, this hounds…

@ Suspiria:

I don’t believe that there are boundaries as long you believe that there are none! In achieving lucidity is very important to believe in yourself and the thing that you are capable! Even though you can’t fly in WL you have to believe that you can fly in dreams, the same goes about boundaries!

Once you became lucid for the first believe me you’ll know. It’s just this moment of clarity, realisation and a huge adrenalin rush… You’ll know! :grin:

Awareness is a really fickle thing. It’s very possible to become lucid in a dream and then lose your lucidity as the dream goes on. You can avoid this by frequently reminding yourself that you are dreaming and trying to not “go with the flow” (unless that’s just what you really want to do).

My rule of thumb, if you ever thought “hey, I am in a dream” then you are lucid. You may not have full control, but you are aware of that key fact. There’s a bit more to it than that, but I suggest not worrying about it too much when you’re still having your first LD’s. Best of luck to you both, and happy lucids :content:
