I know the title is a little vague but I didn’t know what else to call this.
So, in a dream last night in a very vivid dream I noticed things weren’t right and came to the conclusion I was dreaming. I even told myself I was dreaming yet still I did not become lucid. I thought this might be along the lines of an FLD but wasn’t quite sure. Does anybody know what this is?
A lucid dream is a dream where you know you are dreaming, so it sounds to me like you did become lucid.
As long as you can answer “yes” to the question “did I know I was in a dream during the dream?” then it was a lucid dream.
So it was a lucid dream with low lucidity?
That depends on what you felt like during the dream.
If you were fully aware that you were dreaming then it was a lucid dream, but if you were “sort of” aware of it and then forgot about it or something then it was low lucidity.
If you had the thought “hey, I’m dreaming” then you were lucid. That’s all lucidity means. Now, like Laurelindo has said, you can quickly lose that awareness and it just turns back to an ND. It could also have been very low lucidity (awareness) or low control. Either of these can leave the dream feeling not quite like you’d expect an LD to. In either case, this is definitely a good thing for you, it means your actually questioning reality. Keep it up!
