First post and I’m excited to have finally registered.
I had a dream last night/early this morning and I’m unsure if it was lucid or not and it’s driving me nuts all day analyzing it. So I was hoping to get help here. Thanks in advance.
The dream:
I was in a house unfamiliar to me and it had big glass sliding doors. There was a man on the other side trying to get inside. I was holding the doors shut with my hands because the locks didn’t work. To make a long dream short a while later I returned to the same room, but my view was blurry(like seeing only the center of the doughnut).I started screaming "it’s a dream,it’s a dream,but didn’t feel like I really realized. I also started rubbing my hands and spinning around which did nothing. Then a few seconds later the dream ended.
It sounds like you were lucid, though you may have rubbed your hands and spun around while non-lucid, but I doubt that. If you remembered to do that, you likely were lucid. The key is to remember what you were thinking at that point… if something made you realize it’s a dream (or it happened randomly but you still realized it) then you were lucid! However, I don’t know your thought process, so I think in this case only you can determine how lucid you were. Sometimes in low-level lucids I don’t always feel like I “fully realized” I was dreaming either. I’ll realize it’s a dream, and I count that as lucidity, but it’s not a realization that always feels “clear,” if I’m making any sense.
From what I can tell, it sounds like a low-level LD to me, so keep up the good work and I wish you good luck! And welcome again!
Ah-ta-ta; the agony of the low level LD. You know your dreaming, but that special little spark doesn’t come; that liberating, amazed feeling you get with complete realization of the dream world.
You are close however; that is a fact to celebrate! If you can remember to do techniques that increase your lucidity in a low level LD, you will most likely remember to do them in a high level LD; therefore increasing the length of your most special Lucid dreams.
Well done, keep practicing, congratulations, Bravissimo!
Thank you both it makes sense now. I’ve been practicing with dedication for the past two weeks. Must have been a low level lucid dream everyones complaining about:P
