Need to know if it was fake.

Quest for Lucidity
1

I think I finally had a lucid dream but I’m not sure if it was real lucidity or a False Lucid Dream. Here is my dream journal entry.

I was sitting in my house talking with my family when my brother said something (I can’t remember what exactly but it was something about lucid dreams being fake) and I realized I was dreaming.(I admit I became excited but who didn’t on their first.) I was so excited I screamed at the top of my lungs “WOO I’M DREAMING!” My family was dumbfounded and confused but I didn’t care, they weren’t real after all. After the initial excitement I remembered that if I got too excited I would lose the dream. After awhile I was calm and ready to explore this dream. I decided to try and drive rather than fly or anything crazy because I would have taken to the skies I would not be able to control myself. I got in the car and thought to myself “Why am I about to drive around in my first lucid dream?” So I got out jumped in the air to try and fly but failed miserably…

All I remember past that is walking around and taking in the realism of the dream. I woke up happy because I was getting to the point of giving up. My brother doesn’t believe that a lucid dream is possible and it was rubbing off on me.

I want to know if this was a real lucid dream because this was actually my second dream journal entry and I wasn’t really keeping up on the journal or trying to. I have a horrible dream recall. (It was kind of like not having a dream.) The one entry before that was from a month earlier and I was some kind of ancient warrior on a mission from the king to kill the gods for immortality. (I like mythology.) I read on a different topic saying that telling yourself that you will remember your dream when you wake up will increase the vividness of your dreams and that is what I did.

Any help would be appreciated. Please reply on here or e-mail me at

If you knew that you was dreaming than its a lucid dream so yes, you were lucid dreaming :content:

Sure was a lucid dream. Now you know it is possible. :smile:

Its amazing how real dreams get when you realize that you are the one dreaming back in bed, eh?

Sometimes FLD’s and LD’s can be hard to tell apart as you act lucid in both (and even some LD’s you don’t act very lucid :razz:). But what defines a true LD is simply knowing it’s a dream, and it seems you did that alright :happy: Congratulations!

Now, go tell it to your brother :rofl:

my sister sounds just like your brother. But it was most defenitely a LD

Well thanks for the input everyone. I was just worried because I read on here that doing reality checks and keeping a dream journal was a must when first starting and I wasn’t doing either. So I guess now my mission is more and more LDs and try and create things or fly in the next one.

“I realized i was dreaming” it was a lucid dream, no doubt about it
