so last night, in the middle of 1 of my dreams, i realized that i was dreaming and the dream began to fade (like normal when i realize im dreaming). however, i treid clapping my hands, which didnt work, and then spinning around, which did. I kept dreaming but didnt do anything that you wouldnt normally do when you were lucid. I think i knew i was dreaming but wasnt able to control the dream. I probably drempt that i knew i was deraming. Does that count as a lucid dream? If so, what are good ways to have another once ive had one?
Yes, you had a lucid dream. Any time you know you’re dreaming, even if you can’t do anything, it’s a lucid dream. However, it was low-level, so you didn’t have much control. That will come in time.
Some good ways to get lucid are MILD and WILD. One of the best ones is WBTB, but that requires more effort. I personally have DILDs, but that’s just me. To stay lucid once you’re in a dream, try spinning around. Hope I’ve helped.
You definitely had a lucid dream! Sounds just like my very first ld, faded out very fast and I had little control. In time and with some effort, the dreams will stabilize and you’ll have more control over them.
