Am I getting close?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Ok, so I learned about lucid dreaming about a week ago, but I have been unintentionally lucid dreaming quite a lot before, so maybe it would be easier for me to learn how to induce these dreams. I am also able to chain dreams easily or go in the same dream after I have been awaken in the middle of the night.

Now I’m using MILD a lot as well as a bit of WILD and usually get close to lucid or lucid after I WBTB. This night I was thinking after I woke up in the middle of the night “I am going to get lucid, I’m gonna get lucid…” and thought of that over and over and drifted into a dream that I can recall veeeeery well, I was lying parallel to a set of rails and had an OBE and I was thinking that when I reach the end of the rails because I was moving very fast on them, I would get lucid. Unfortunately on one sharp turn I fell off the rails and and forgot about lucidity.

Does that dream mean that I was very close to being lucid and what should I do in my case in order to improve my lucidity rate?

You are dreaming about getting lucid -
You’re closer than you think! :happy:

Keep it up, you’re doing awesome. :smile:

May I propose to switch “I would get lucid” with “I would recognize I’m dreaming”?
Because if you didn’t experienced a LD yet, you just might don’t know what it means.
(And maybe it explains why you actually didn’t get lucid in the first place.)

Hi and welcome :wave:

When you dream about LD’ing you’re pretty close. I’ve actually seen it before where someone thinks something like you did, that when you get somewhere the LD will start - without noticing that you already were in a dream! :tongue: But don’t worry, it happéns :content: I’m sure with a little practice you’ll learn how it feels and you’ll be able to recognize you’ve entered a dream :happy:

The only advice I can give is to keep up your enthusiasm. After the first time I woke up immediately out of a LD I lost my motivation for a while. Keep on rollin

Aww today I got lucid and woke up immediately. I tried to spin around my own axis and rub my hands but it didn’t work :sad: anyway I’m gonna get lucid soon hopefully, it slowly starts to work.
