Did I have my first LD??

Quest for Lucidity General Lucidness
1

I’m wondering whether or not I just had my first LD. I’ll start by writing the dream, then move on to my thoughts. If you have any ideas or thoughts, please post them.

The dream: It all started in my house. My sister was there and I suddenly thought: Hey, what if this is a dream. Things suddenly turned sharper, and the lighting was better. Confident that I was dreaming, I went to the window and stepped through it. I felt the cold air for a second as I stepped through the glass and out into the night. I looked up in the sky, imagined a force pushing me upwards, and I flew. Only for a little while until I landed at the nearest mall… I went in and bought a doughnut (with money I materialized!!). As I was eating it my father appeared. We got into a fight and I woke up.

Why am I not confident that this wasn’t a proper LD? Let me explain.
When I realized that it was in fact a dream, I didn’t do anything. I’ve been hoping for a LD every night. When I eventually get one, I expect to wake up immediately from the excitement. I didn’t really get that surprised at all.
As for the “Sharpness and light”. I’ve read that LDs are more real than other dreams. Perhaps my SC thinks that this means sharpness and light.(?) The details Dissapeared pretty quickly as far as I can remember.

Being able to fly the first time without any problems at all isn’t usual either, is it? The flying is another thing that worries me, I didn’t get any rush of adrenaline or anything when I flew the tiny distance. It was just another form of transportation.

So what really happened? It cant’ve been a real LD? If so, im kinda disappointed…
But I could control a few things, even though I wasn’t free. I didn’t decide to go to the mall and get a doughnut, it just happened.

Also, In the dream I told myself to do a RC when I woke up so I wouldn’t get a FA.
So I did, no FA.

That was a real LD :cool: despite it being first time and why did you expect to wake up from excitement? :eh: not everyone does that and you seemed to handle it very well.

So congratulations on your LD :clap: and good luck getting better and clearer LD’s in the future :cool_laugh:

:eh: :neutral: :smile: :happy: :woo: :grin:
Must’ve lost it slowly. After going out the window I had very little control. Hopefully it will be better when I get clearer dreams.

If I get another one i’ll change the scenery, do an RC, rub my hands and look around. It will help me realize that I am in fact dreaming. Make it clearer :smile:

^ aight?

Good idea, youll get it eventually and keep up the good spirit, it will surely help :content:

Also try to find a reliable RC and do that some times during the day :cool_raz: you can get a clear LD at once if you have strong lucidity :wink:

Conrgrats on your 1st LD :content: And you DID do things while lucid : you were able to fly a little, and, more than that, you made decisions that were only possible because you knew you were dreaming (IMO, in LDs, the decision to use “magic” is the most important step in the process of using it).
