Last night i had my 3rd lucid dream so far and after waking up, i realised, that i didn’t get even one of the 3 dreams by lucidity tecniques. Everytime it was like this: At some point in the dream i just knew i was dreaming and said to myself: “if you will now notice that you are dreaming, you will get lucid” on the first two times i woke up quite soon but last night i kept lucidity for a long time. Has anyone else made this experience of becoming lucid?
The content of your paragraph is a bit confusing, but I saw the title of your topic and thought, “Yeah, I do that, if that’s what you were wondering.” I usually supplement the desire for lucids though with techniques. Not many, just mostly MILD in the form of a journal (although I consider the journal more than that).
well i dont use any tecniques because none of them has ever worked. It just happens “by accident” that in my dream i know that i’m dreaming and that i say to myself: "if you now get the awareness of dreaming (i already noticed that i dream but more as a fact and not as beeing aware of this fact) you can do great things. And knowing this fact almost everytime leads to thinking this and getting lucid. but it doesn’t happen often.
It must be beginner’s luck.
But still, good job. Tell us if this keeps happening. If it does then you’re a natural.
I have had at least one dream in which I got lucid like this. My thoughts: “Why is there a dog? There are no dogs in our school … Well maybe this is a dream. But that doesn’t matter, because if I’m able to recognize such an oddity that easily, I’ll wake up soon. Then getting lucid isn’t really useful anyway. … But on the other hand, if I get lucid now, then I have at least a short LD or a lucid moment to report in the LC.” That argument was eventually strong enough that I decided to get fully lucid.
yea it was quite like this “if i want i can now get lucid”. The first and the second dream were quite short. in the first i lost lucidity after about 5 mins dreamtime and the second ended after 30 sec dreamtime because i woke up. But i think i managed in the third, i just didn´t know what to do ^^
although this thread is quite old i gotta post this: last night i had something quite similar, but i didn’t get lucid. In my dream i knew that it was a dream like you know in WL that you are breathing, but you are not aware of it the whole time. I’m trying to figure out how i come to this “knowledge” and let you guys know about my progress. If anybody wants to help: you’re welcome
(to a mod: if you think this deserves to be in “lucid lab” then pls move it
Huh? My all LD’s are like this. I just realise that I am in a dream and that’s all. For example I had a dream where I realised that something is wrong, then I understood that I am dreaming and just then I looked at my hands to comfirm this. I just simply become lucid without any RC’s. And I am not that new on this thing. I have my DJ since this years January and I already had about 20 LD’s. So I think if I would do more RC’s in WL I could have even more LD’s!
so the last nights i tried to get this “knowledge” and i can tell you it worked in 2 out of 3 nights. In none of them i became lucid, but when i remembered my dreams i rembered to know that i was dreaming but more in the background and not as “wow i’m dreaming! let’s fly!” i’m gonna try it again and stabilize this ability. The step after this will be becoming lucid
