What kind of lucid dreams is this?

I recently got into LD’ing again, and this morning I got my first lucid dream in three months. :content:
However, it was one of those dreams that I usually tend to have that starts out as a False Awakening (it isn’t a typical FA though, since I instantly realize it’s a dream).
But anyway, I “woke up”, I tested my bedlamp and noticed that it didn’t work, and then I got out of bed, in slow-motion, and told myself “oh yeah, this is a lucid dream, great!”; then I noticed that my whole house looked completely different, which of course is a perfect dreamsign, but it was very dark.
I tried to solve this by saying “Some more light, please” several times, but it was more like a whisper than actual speech.
Anyway, it got a little brighter, but it was still dark.
But I decided to walk around and check out the house, and I tried to stimulate my senses by looking at things, listening for sounds, touching things etc.
Then I got a terrible itch on my right leg and started scratching it, and a few seconds later I ended up in bed and still felt the itch.
I believe the dream lasted for about 2 minutes.

Well, I don’t know, is this just low lucidity or why do I keep getting these kinds of lucid dreams so often?
Of course any lucid dream is a great sign of progress, but it would still be fun to improve the quality of them. :smile:

I find that those sorts of things you encountered in your lucid dream, it being dark and not being able to speak normally comes from reading other people’s dream problems. :razz: For example, I read a LD where the dreamer couldn’t fly any higher because of some sort of sky-like ceiling haha, when I tried to fly up to space I hit a sky ceiling :razz:. It happens to many of us, you just have to change up your mindset. If it occurs a lot, don’t have the same expectation. I suggest you stabilize and increase your lucidity before performing any tasks.

Yeah I will keep that in mind next time this happens. :tongue:
But I must say I am rather curious why I keep getting this kind of lucid dream, it always happens in the morning when I start working on lucid dreaming again.

Another kind of lucid dream I also sometimes get that also starts in my bed is 100% vivid and in daylight, but in that version my eyesight is very blocked, almost like I am blind on one eye and there is like a black curtain over part of my other eye.
That version tends to be easier to take control over, though. :confused:
