Thread: Dreamt I was Lucid?

I was wondering if anyone had had this experience. I dreamed (twice) that I was lucid. I know that this isn't what a true lucid dream because I have had a few lucid dreams that made the two seemingly "lucid" dreams invalid. I really do not think that it was just a low level lucidity issue but more that after all my drifting off to sleep affirmations, my mind tricked me by creating a lucid dream (dream). Confusing, I know. This is a has been on my mind for a while now because I am not sure what to think of it. Can you dream of having a lucid dream, or am I mistaking this for something else?

Artemesia I know exactly what you're talking about. More than a few times I thought I was lucid but something told me I was only dreaming it. It didn't seem real. It seemed fuzzy and disconected. It doesn't have the sudden realization and clarity, where you can look around and say, okay I'm lucid, lets tear this shit up! I know it sucks, but sometimes you can have a non-lucid dream about being lucid.

I've had one of those once... I asked Adam about it, and he assured me it was a lucid Well if now it turns out it wasn't, congratulations, then I've never ever had a lucid! (Excluding one about 10 years ago)

Oh I've dreamt I was lucid before, wasn't actually lucid though? Paradox!

You are lucid if you know its a dream...There's no beyond that. However that doesn't mean you were lucid for the entire dream.

People seem to confuse lucidity with the entire dream being lucid, but nope, you can be lucid one moment and then no lucid the next.

So you weren't dreaming of being lucid, you were lucid, and at some point or another you lost lucidity (maybe as soon as you became lucid) but remember thinking it was a dream.

This happens to me lots of times, fortunately I still act the same way as if it were a lucid dream, the only difference is I invest more importance in what happens (I.E. I know I can fly, only i'm afraid of hitting the ground =P)

Agreed, the human brain doesn't do recursion.

Hi,
Yea. Ive did a few wilds from within a dream. Like a dream in a dream.
