are we asleep or awake when we lucid dream?

Have you ever had a dream where you just KNOW it's a dream?

Have you ever been able to control certain parts of your dream/s?

How is it possible to think logically, while asleep?

    It's a reasonable question though, I know what you mean,sometimes you can control your dreams. It all seems to depend on what the subject of the dream is.

    If not, lucid dream right now lol It won't be the same.

    Though I guess it depends on how you're defining sleep. If, for some reason, you consider sleep to be complete lack of control, then you're somewhat awake.

    Sometimes I'm CERTAIN i'm in a dream. I can tell because I can't see as clearly as I really do. I'm always certain if I'm awake, simply by how my brain works, I can honestly tell if I'm awak when I'm awake. But when I'm asleep, sometimes I think i know I'm awake, or I'm certain I'm asleep. And other times I use my memory can't remember if a moment was something I dreamt, or if it really happened. This is because my memory blurs pictures the same way dreams do. And I can;t make an accurate conclusion weather or not that memory was caused by a dream or by real life.

    And Once I figured out that I am dreaming, i am able to control a lot of things. But It's a weird kind of control. Like if I simply think it, it will happen, even though I don't want it. Like I'll be in a corner covered in blankets in a box, and a witch is walking around about 30 feet away from me. I'm thinking about how I don't want her to walk up to the box and open it with me in it, but because I even think a thing, it happens. So I don't have control over what I want, but It's over what I think.

    You can also control dreams from thinking the same thing over and over again during the day. Your dreams reflect what you have been thinking about sometimes.

    Well It is possible to think logically while asleep, but from expirience, i believe what happens is logic changes. You think differently while your brain tries to rest. Sometime you believe that the sky was always purple if the sky apears purple in your dreams. YOu kind of fool yourself, and change your memory of all things that are logical. Or you can fool yourself into thinking the gravity only works between 1:25-3:54 AM, I mean, you really can't even think the same way. You think, but it's more of a silly puddy type of thinking. It conforms , and itsn't rock solid =P

    If you are having a lucid dream or any dream, other than a day dream, for that matter you are sleeping. Having a lucid dream just means you are aware you are dreaming and have the ablility to span the deep craters of your subconcious and/or fly. Lucid dreams only happen after practice and when your in deep REM sleep.
