"Is this a dream?"              I was gonna ask the experinced ones here, but since you've sort of       started it off:              Couple nights ago I went to sleep with the intent to become lucid.       (Not a very experinced dreamer, been lurking here for ½ a year)       anyway, I dreamed my sister-in-law had put my brother in a coffin and       kept him locked in there for 9 months, because he's been cheating on her       (he had, actually, but she'd never bury him for it :-)       So I said to myself: "naw man, this is too weird, I must be dreaming"       I immediately wanted to fly, started jumping up and down, made some 25       meters or so jumps (low gravity, it seems) which was all very exiting.       I forgot all about my brother and kept concentrating on these high jumps.              Then I woke up, and noticed I hadn't been "conscious" like, being aware       of my age, adress, telephone number etc.              I had been dreaming normally, with the exception that "I knew it was a       dream" + I knew high jumps/flying was possible + I woke up remembering,       which I'm normally not good at.              > 2.We might answer yes, this is a dream...but we won't even realize what to       > do next...we continue going w/ the flow of the dream.              seems like this is what I did              So, does this count as lucidity ? I would expect myself to be aware as       in an awake state, only without the physical limitations.       Am I getting there ? Or has the limitlessness of lucidity simply entered       my subconscious ?              thanks for any help              Adonai              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
