Title: Defining dreams
Post by: two on February 02, 2005, 23:06:56
What would you call a dream in which you find yourself completely lucid. You're not being carried along in any story, you just find yourself standing somewhere and you can see your hands and it's the most amazing thing because you know you've woken up somewhere else. And there you are and you can't believe it and then you see people. Then some approach you. Sometimes even seems like they're waiting for me to wake up there.

A Lucid Dream is the term used for dreams where one has awarness of actually dreaming (rather than taking for granted the dream scenario.)

I've been lucid like that.  I think presently the whole LUCID craze is a sacred cow, but I will say this anyway, I don't think gaining lucidity is the purpose of dream work.  Its a nice feeling though.
