Thread: A lucid experience ? ? ?

I'm very confused an unsure whether I actually had my first lucid experience last night.

I did not apply any method, nor did I read about lucid dreaming or anything about it for at least a week or two.

In my dream, I found myself in the UK. (I live in Canada). The people had accents and I was very worried about how I got there. I explored. Later, I wanted to get drinks from vending machines but the coins were HUGE. They were hockey-puck shaped, clear with liquid inside. I found two and I wanted to get a mini pack of tons of iced teas... later still, I was sitting in a house. I thought "This must be a dream. I'd never come to the UK." (I'm terrified of airplanes.) Then my cat ran by in a weird suit. Then I gasped, and a huge rush sensation/tingling went through me and I went into black before I woke up.

Any thoughts? Lucid or not?

It didn't seem like I was any more aware after my thought about the dreaming.

Could it have been a dream about getting lucid?

It sounds like you had a lucid to me...even due to the brevity.

what do YOU think? we can't tell you if it was lucid, because you experienced it, not us.

I think if you knew you were dreaming, which it sounds like you did, then it was a lucid dream. Congratulations!

(I liked "This must be a dream. I'd never come to the UK." :-)
