   Hi All,   
      
   I used to subscribe to this group several years ago while I was exercising   
   lucid dreams techniques, and which I quit after a few weeks of no apparent   
   success.   
   Now I'm retryring it with more devotion, and within only two weeks of   
   exercising MILD (first week and a half were devoted to improving my memory   
   using the exercise mentioned on Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming / S.   
   Laberge) I had already had two lucid dreams.   
      
   My question is (and thanks to those who kept reading beyond the tiring   
   exposition :), how can I really be sure that my lucid dream was not actually   
   a 'regular' dream, in which I dreamt of being lucid?   
   Recollections I've read about lucid dreams described them involving a   
   feeling of 'hyper-reality' and a striking sense of consciousness. In my   
   dream I remember saying 'this is a dream', looking at my hands(I can't   
   recall ever doing so in a dream), and trying to hover over a waterfall. But   
   still I don't remember feeling this sense of striking reality and   
   consciousness.   
      
   Can it be, after weeks of reading and thinking of lucid dreaming, that I've   
   only dreamt of being lucid?   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
   Nur Lan
