Thread: Conciousness in a lucid dream

Hello Dreamviews member!

I've been learning and trying to achieve a lucid dream for over 1.5 years now.
But i have not been successful as far as i know. And my question is related to the last part of the previous sentence.
It's hard for me to really put this question on paper, but i will do my best.

I sometimes have dreams about lucid dreaming, i dream that i'm lucid dreaming, if that makes sense.
While dreaming i think that i control the actions of my DC. So my dream character(me) is making conscious decisions about actions in the dream about having a lucid dream.

Is this the same as lucid dreaming? Another question that i would like to ask is: Does a lucid dream really feel like waking life? And what i mean by that is.
Do you perceive that dream world exactly the same as the waking world? Is your consciousness in the waking world the same as your consciousness in the dream world?

I have read lots of articles and some books about lucid dreaming, most of them say that lucid dreaming is exactly the same as the waking life but with no physical restrictions.
But that answer is not specific enough for me, is everything really the same?
I really want to hear your experiences/opinion/answers about these questions!

Sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my main language, Dutch is.

Kind regards,
Somnis
