Just had my first proper lucid dream

[Mr.Obvious]

I get them. I usually just realize I'm lucid and go flying around, since I love to fly in dreams.

I got them a lot when I was using the patch to quit smoking. Makes me want to do it again.

You know, i'm not really sure i. Believe in lucid dreams. I'm willing to believe, without question, that in Some dreams people believe they have control over their dreams. I've had dream where i realized i was dreaming. But did i really realize it, or was i dreaming that i realized it and had, for that fleeting moment, control? And how could we differentiate between having control in a lucid dream or dreaming that we are lucid dreaming?

I was pretty surprised when I ran up against lucid dreaming skepticism. It was weird because I know I've had them. I know they exist. I know anyone can have them. If you're dreaming that you realized you're dreaming, then you are aware you're dreaming.

Is it that weird? Sceptics, i think, tend not to take testimony or in my case personal experience, as valid evidence for claims.
I've had one or two myself, but i try not to let those experiences gain too much weight. I once believed I'd seen jesus christ when i was a kid. I now no longer judge that experience to have been in agreement with reality. Similar with those dreams. I can't be certain if i misremembzred my dream as i've always wanted lucid dreams or if my subconcious wasn't in control The entire time rather than conciously being in control.
I've Bern offered Some cool info on The subject, perhaps if i have time, i'll delve into it. In The end though it doesn't really matter all that much. Because even if you subconcious dreams you are dreaming you are in control rather than your conscious being active in your dream, The experience is still there. All that i'm unsure off is The accuracy of exactly what we understand it to be.
