Hi i am new to the forum, I’ve been practicing lucid dreaming for the past week.
Today i did The WBTB, i slept for 5-6 hours woke up and stayed up for 90mins, thinking about lucid dreaming, reading forum topics
reading guides. affirming myself and planning what i will do when i become lucid.
I think i was successful but failed at the same time.
I first had a dream it was a bit personal so i won’t write fully about it but it had to do with an old friend and me trying to make peace
with him long story short i couldn’t get him to confront me and he was avoiding me.
Suddenly i wake up but there is something wrong… i feel something is wrong.
i get out of my bed everything feels so thick and slow… my room is dark and orange.
i do an RC… i look at my right hand… it looks fine but I’m having this weird feeling so i look again and start counting my fingers, grabbing them.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5… 6
oh shit… i think I’m dreaming, but everything is still weird, dark, in slow motion.
i decide to spin to increase, i spin and say to myself increase lucidity x1000!
i come out of the spin and see nothing as if i am blind… i get nervous and eventually wake up.
what are your thoughts everyone? any advice
WBTB seemed to be a good stepping stone but i need more practice.
But with practice you’ll get better at changing that.
I also get slowness and darkness a lot, sometimes even dizzyness.
