Yeah, I wasn't really super exhausted, but after doing a lot of annoying mental work I decided to sit down and close my eyes for a little bit and then started dreaming.
I'm not exactly sure this would classify it as lucid, but I kept switching between a first and third person perspective when I seemingly needed to.
And I guess to be fair it's been ages since I've actively practiced lucid dreaming.
Lets say what it really is.. "timetravel"
Lucid dreams are timetravel
I'd count it in my book! I think anytime you're more than a passive observer experiencing a movie and have some agency in what you're experiencing, it counts. Even if it's just directing the camera. You're consciously affecting your dream by reaching out into the dream world and imposing your will.
I used to be able to do it often when I was younger but I rarely do now. Too tired most days I think.
Same. I kept a dream journal and everything when I was younger to try and improve dream recall.
Oh man I wish I did that. Would be so interesting to go back and read it
