Did I have a lucid dream last night?

Quest for Lucidity General Lucidness
1

I know it is impossible to really answer this, but I would like to know what you think regardless. :tongue:

This last night I had a bunch of dreams that I forgot to write down, but they seem to have elevated my mood today.
I clearly remember telling some DC’s that “this is all a dream!”, but I’m not sure if I understood exactly what I was saying.
Anyway, I remember walking down the streets in a sort of skipping motion, pushing myself forward with one of my feet, and I delighted in how fast I could move with such minimal effort.
I also remember trying to use a password from real life, and when it didn’t work after several attempts I was like “what the hell is going on here?”.
Then I have some fragmentary memories where I was flirting with a cute girl and talked to her, and I felt totally relaxed and content.

Now I’m wondering - do you think I became lucid at some point in these dreams?
I really do feel especially good today, so I am fairly sure I had some lucid dream at some point which I just don’t remember very well, but that still had a positive effect on me.

I would say that you weren’t lucid, or had a low lucidity level at that point.
As you said, we can’t really answear this, but i think you have probably become a bit lucid sometime during the dream, because of you telling the DC it was a dream.

Yeah, I actually think I had a similar dream experience this last night as well, I have some vague memories of a situation when I was hesitating to do something “despite being in a dream”, so this should be a very promising sign.

Maybe I’m already having lucid dreams but have vague memories of them just because I have been so lazy with dream recall lately? :eek: :eh: :confused: :content:

You could have had one of those where you dream you’re lucid and you don’t have control of yourself. It also sounds like you were distracted for most of the dream.
But yea, it really depends on how you see it since you could have been lucid but with low level lucidity.
Of course, the other thing that doesn’t help is low recall. For all you know it was a great lucid dream but you just didn’t remember the good parts very well :meh:

Yeah, it does sort of feel that way.
I have had a couple fragmentary memories of lucidity from these last two nights, where I have explicitly pointed out that I am “in i dream”, or at least that’s how I remember it - now I can’t be sure I actually realized what this meant, maybe I just said it without understanding the meaning of it - but in either case, the fact that I have started to suddenly have dream memories like this certainly seems rather promising.
