I've been interested in lucid dreaming for years now. I've read a lot about it but never actually practiced the techniques. After yesterday's dream I figured there should be a subreddit for this, so here I am.
I'd only once realized I was in a dream and I couldn't hold it for long and I woke up. That pretty much sums up my lucid dreaming experience from before.
So, yesterday I realized I was in a dream. To sum up, a guy stole my shoes and I have him my blessing to keep them, then a while later I realized I was wearing another pair and I said "wait a minute, I must be dreaming" and I started flying around and shouting everyone "Do you see this? I am dreaming"
The thing is, that "chilling" feeling from my singular previous experience wasn't there. To put into context, I regularly "jump and glide" in my dreams and every time I say "see, it's possible to fly in real life too" instead of realising I am in a dream. This time it was that kind of feeling, not a lucid realization.
I'm sorry if I'm a bit verbose, I'm also very excited to find this sub. So, has anyone experienced a "fake lucidity" like I described? Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for any answers.
