Ok, so I had my first LD about 4 hours ago at around noon or so. I was napping with my girlfriend, and I had already had one semi-dream. It’s sort of hard to explain… You know how you can doze off during a nap, and definantly be awake, but still be sort of dreaming? Like a daydream but you aren’t creating it, your subconcious is.
Well, I was having one of those, and I definantly became at some point aware that it wasn’t real, because of an obvious dreamsign (a path through a forest that was new asphalt with a bright yellow line). I then had a sort of montage dream thing (because it wasn’t a deep dream) with me walking up icy paths, slipping, and sometimes falling back down a few feet.
At some point during this daydream I had the urge to run. I can’t remember at all why. But I started sprinting. At this point I didn’t really have any visuals, the dream was still going but I was sort of in limbo. Then all of the sudden it was like I had ran into my real body. I could see this amazing forest in front of me, with a fuzzy white light permeating everything. Everything was crystal clear, and I felt great.
Unfortuantly, I was so excited both by knowing I was LDing and by the fact that I was still sprinting that I got the most painful adrenaline rush in my stomach. I began to scream “I’m DREAMING!!” but before the words could even come out I began to wake up, I’m assuming from excitement.
So, my question is how can I re create this dozing sleep? Does anyone know what I’m talking about, and use the same technique to enter LDs? It’s like… being awake but allowing your subcoincious to do the day dreaming for you… different than actual day dreaming where you are walking yourself through it.
