last night i had two dreams but there was something about them that have questions about. in the first, i was in an adventure and started flying with a paper airplane. i started out fine but started falling. when i was falling i yelled, i’m dreaming, kind of like if it was going to save me from falling. i then started floating and realized it. i saved myself but after that, couldn’t do anything.
in the second, i was in a room and was hiding. my brother found me and we strted talking. then, a copy of him told him i was an enemy. i was all shocked saying woah. theres two of you. i am dreaming and jumped away trying to fly.
The only thing is, in both cases, i didnt want to do any of it. i didnt mean to save myself in the first or fly in the second. was i even lucid?
In both cases you recognized that you were dreaming, therefor you it was a low lucid LD. If you were doing the exact same thing, but didn’t have a moment where you knew you were dreaming, it would be an FLD.
For example, the other night I did something strange in a dream and thought “oh, that’s something I’ve done in an LD before” but it never clicked that I could have been dreaming then. Therefor, FLD. Another time I thought “hey, I’m dreaming!” and then proceeded to climb to the top of a slide because I was under the impression I had lost all my power and had to defeat a certain DC to get them back. That was a low lucid.
Yes, for sure. The best thing is to have a set of goals in mind for your next LD. If you think “hey, I’m dreaming… now I need to go eat something,” you’ll probably have better control since you are setting the scenario, not your SC. Also, yelling “increase lucidity” is a great way to do it, but you have to be lucid enough to do it . Above all, give it time. The more LD’s you have, the more you’ll learn to control them.
