Ok, just had my first LD
I was dreaming normally, my alarm woke me up, and I was still too tired to get up. I’m sick at the moment too, all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. So I started doing the counting method… but I didn’t get very far, lost consciousness, and went straight back into sleep. except - I went straight into an LD. I looked around, and noted that everything was extremely clear, but there wasn’t much around me (looked like I was in a jungle). So I spun around, and a path appeared, with 2 people on it. I ran down the path, and told them both that they were characters in my dream. One of them was in a wheelchair, and I said ‘wow, you’re in a wheelchair’ to him. None of them said anything, though they both stopped moving and had funny looks on their faces. Then I ran down the path some more, and thought, ‘ok, I’ll make someone appear’. So I spun around, and there was a girl sitting on the grass. I walked over to her, and woke up.
I’ve only been trying to LD for about a week now, and haven’t been trying these last couple of days cause I’ve been sick.
questions:
-
I don’t know what the actual ‘trigger’ for the LD was. I didn’t go into sleep consciously, though I was trying to, and I wasn’t telling myself that I would have an LD, though I was thinking about it as the last thing before I went to sleep (mainly because I was too tired to think about anything else). Was this MILD?
-
I forgot to RC! I just somehow knew I was dreaming, and so I didn’t need to. Is this normal, or is it a sign that it wasn’t a true LD?
-
No one actually said anything to me in my dream… once again, is this normal? I was kind of hoping I could have a conversation, heh.
-
When I woke up it all just seemed like a normal dream, and now I’m not even sure that I was lucid… was I? is this normal?
