Lucid meditation?

[Dark_Tezcatlipoca]

Is "lucid" meditation possible? If so how can I do this?

[Shanti]

Yes!
How, I have no clue.
Once in a rare while it just happens to me.

I cant explain it. If it happens to you you will understand.

I'll second that. I'd need more specific details before I could answer your post.

how can meditation be non-lucid? if its non-lucid youre not meditating, sounds more like a trance.. or sleep.

When I say lucid, I mean like a lucid dream, as in crystal clear. An oh so real experience.

so i take it that your meaning that after you've been meditating for a period of time in a sitting that your having a trance experience, its good that your having this experience and that your learning how to repeatedly achieve them.

A lucid dream is not only one in which it is crystal-clear, it is also a dream in which you are in control of everything and are aware you are dreaming.

If you are not in control and aware that you are meditating, I think you're doing it wrong.

Meditation is lucid..thats the point of it.

In response to what I think you're attempting to ask, I've meditated in such a way that it was realistic like a dream.

It was a guided meditation that I had on tape, and it ended up becoming very real to me. I still have a "special place" that I can return to during meditation, which was created in this first session.

I wish I could remember what the tape was called, because I would recommend it, but I have no idea. I started it when I was a kid.
