I know lucid dreaming is when you know your dreaming, but people say lucid dreaming is when you can CONTROL what your doing in the dream. I don't know. But a dream i had like last week this is what it was. It was 7:30 at night, and i was napping, and I was supposed to be excercising, and i was 'just resting my eyes' but ended up faling asleep. in my dream, I was aware it was 7 30 and that i was supposed to be excercising, it was like i was living in my head trying to wake myself up. and in my dream I thought that I thought that i was just thinking things and I wasnt really sleeping..like i was dozing off..but not totally asleep...and the whole time in my dream, i was tryng to get myself to stop 'thinking things' and to stop dozing off..and to just wake up and get up. I woke up at around 11:40..and i found out i wasnt just dozing off and thinking about stuff..I was really dreaming. was that a lucid dream? i have another question about lucid dreaming too...so can u answer that one too?
Answer:
yes
Lucid dreams are dreams in which you know at the time that you are dreaming. That they are different from ordinary dreams is obvious as soon as you have one. The experience is something like waking up in your dreams. It is as though you "come to" and find you are dreaming.
"the re-integration of the psychic functions is so complete that the sleeper reaches a state of perfect awareness and is able to direct his attention, and to attempt different acts of free volition. Yet the sleep, as I am able confidently to state, is undisturbed, deep, and refreshing."
What you were experiencing sounds more like you were in Stage N2, "sleep spindles" of sleep. It is right before you start dreaming, so you are still somewhat concious of you surroundings and especially if you have an engagement your mind is preoccupied with your mind was focusing on that rather than releasing into the delta waves state.
