am i getting close?

ive been in this ld game for two weeks now, ive got a DJ and all with alot filled out.
in each week, ive had two lucid “moments” i guess.
the first time, i said to myself before i slept, the regular MILD technique, and my dream was
"coming back from a restaurant, we leave to find our parents. we enter a building and suddenly i am in another buffet line. i think to myself ‘i just ate, why am i in another restaurant? i must be dreaming’ so i RT and i get this lucidish feeling. i start messing with the guy infront of me saying ‘your jus a dream guy, i can do whatever i want to you’ so i morph his face and clothes a bit. i didnt do much before i woke.

the second time, as i slept, i told myself (during milding) “i am going to become lucid in this dream and i am going to talk to a person and fight a monster with a sword.”
i fall asleep. in my dream, i am running from a person and instead of going to the stairs, where she knows ill be going, i go flush myself down the toilet :content: so i jump in the toilet and flush. i get out. i dont really know/care where i am because i know something like this wouldnt happen in life. so i know that i am dreaming. i say “i am dreaming” and suddenly the person i want to talk to comes up and i talk to her. then after i leave, this person wants to fight me, so i pick up a sword and we fight it out. after that, the dream continues on without my influence.
(note, both dreams not fully detailed)
out of those two experiences, i did not get the feeling of freedom and my 5 senses were not very “sensing” at all. it was not that exhilerating as other people say. maybe those experiences were just short moments of a ld and not enough of a ld to feel the full experience.

am i getting close to lding? i cant wait till i get there. are you supposed to think as well and as clear as you would be awake?

Those were LD’s and while not as thrilling as one would hope they will get better the more you have. They sounded better than my first lucid dream which ended after a couple of seconds.

lol, yea definitely LD’s, maybe not high level LD’s but LD’s allright:P

Hi CastorTroy! Welcome to LD4all! :wave:

Those dreams were lucid. But perhaps your lucidity level was not high enough. Next time, try to grasp something and feel how it looks like real, or look at your hands, or shout “Increase lucidity!” or “Increase clarity now!”
And in order to stay lucid, you can stare at your hand or perform a RC from time to time.

rub your hands and spin around?

well, looking at your hands is more like an RC, if you want to clear your dream up you should look at it untill it becomes bright and more vivid:P

thanks for the tips guys,
i had another short LD today. it was during an afternoon nap
what happend was,
(not in detail - lol sorry about all the variables)
“Im with my 3 of my friends O Ja Je. I tell Ja about what Je did in the previous dream i just had. I told Ja about it like it really happend in real life. Ja has this friend that likes to hang with each other - V. V comes by and i say hi and V walks off. V comes back, but instead V comes back as N. Behind us, L comes down the stairs and says hi. As L comes close, L becomes V(same one) and I say how pretty V is. Then i notice that L became V and i thought to myself i am dreaming! So i thought, if i am dreaming then i can change V. V became really wierd and everything about Vs face changed. So i flew off. First time to fly :content: ! I flew vertically. I just flew up all the way up. I had that “exhilerating” feeling i read about and mentioned earlier. It was either that or it was the “wind” blowing against me. I guess i got too excited and i start to lose LD and started to drop. I think i tried to look at the ground, but i was in the air so there was no ground. I bet i lost LD there. I reappeared in a room lecturing about how flying is normal and that some apes do it regularly…”
wake
:content: <<< my proud face
finally flew
i jus wish that i had held the LD longer

i have a couple questions, but ill post them later, i have to go now
