I know I made a similar post, but I'm still unclear.
Every night I have extremely vivid/almost real seeming dreams, When I wake up I recall literally everything.
This has been occurring for weeks now, every night without fail.
Are these lucid dreams? or normal dreams? Or are they partial lucid dreams?
I seem to be semi-aware, but I have no control.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, cyberblade,
The answer is simple, You had mentioned that you get vivid dreams and you remember that you were dreaming after you woke up. If you were aware in dream, that's called lucid dream. But this is a vivid dream. Sometimes dreams will try to tell us something.
Try to post your dream for interpretation :)

Hey cyberblade, I'm a recent newbie as well so I thought I could shed some light. Right before I started having conscious sleep paralysis, projections, and lucid dreams, I had extremely vivid dream recall. Lots of linear dreams, which are dreams that maintain a specific storyline for what seems like a long time.
Lucid dreams, astral projection, sleep paralysis, are all very different entrances to what inevitably seems to be the same kind of world. Theses vivid dreams you are having are probably the proceeding step to a new kind of dream consciousness.
Remember, during REM cycle, our brain waves are identical to the waves occurring during waking life. However, our bodies are asleep, frozen by sleep paralysis, so we don't act out our dreams.
I think if you keep reading the posts, you will be able to recognize and induce the ways to become a little more conscious, which then leads to lucid dreams, astral projection, and all that fun stuff :)
In the meantime enjoy the vivid dreams and try recalling as much as you can. I never used to write my dreams until I joined this forum..so perhaps a dream journal really does work.
Sorry for the long post :)
This is a vivid dream, you experience the dream but can only do certian things.
