   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
