First Lucid Experience! (and what an experience it was...)

Quest for Lucidity
1

First off, lemme explain the negative points so I can get that out of the way.

I did not create my own storyline or anything like that. I went along with the dream. I was too afraid to start spinning, because I really wanted to keep my lucidity.

Second of all, I do not believe I used my powers to their full extent. I had a laundry list of things I wanted to do in an LD, but I completely forgot about that as I was just stunned to the world around me. Interestingly enough, I did find my ex-girlfriend inside my dream as a DC, and I concentrated hard on getting her to say “I love you.” But the weird thing is, she simply said “I know what you’re thinking. I’m not going back to you.” I thought that was strange, and it made me not want to try anymore.

I’m not sure how exactly I got Lucid; it wasn’t a WILD or a MILD, since I skipped doing those techniques last night. I supposed it was probably a DILD, although I am a bit angry at myself for not remembering the exact event that happened BEFORE I became lucid. I thought I could extract some type of DS for the future.

It was the weirdest sensation become lucid… It was felt like a kind of “shift.” I found myself at my school (more specifically, the lunch room) where I found a whole mess of DC’s. Again, I was too afraid of losing lucidity that I didn’t mess around much. I’ll have to overcome this fear next time.

Anyways, I just went with the flow of being in the lunch room, and as I stepped out of the lunch room, I found myself in my basement. Throughout this dream, I found myself questioning if I was really Lucid. I decided that I must have been, since I resisted a sudden urge to stay in my basement, in fear that one of my fears would be waiting for me.

I must have been losing lucidity at this point, because I just found myself “accepting” the dream. I went along with everything that happened until I woke up.

I am very happy that I had the experience, but I am even happier that I now understand lots of things about LDs! I suddenly see just how similar a LD is to real life, and just how real everything seems. I would not trade back that experience for anything else. I cannot wait to fully experiment with my abilities!

Congrats on your first LD, SoccerFan! :yay:

When I become lucid, I can sort of feel my mind waking up… is that the “shift” you were describing? In my early LDs, I only woke up partially, and still thought and acted somewhat like I would in an ND. If you weren’t behaving like you would if you realized you were dreaming right now, your mind probably wasn’t fully awake… not to worry, as your mind will be able to wake up more fully as you have more LDs, and you’ll be able to think more like you do while awake! At least, that’s my experience. :content:

Congrats on your first LD, Soccerfan! :clap: I hope you’ll have soon lots of LD’s, so you can experience more with them. Keep up with your technique, it will certainly give you more LD’s soon! :smile:

Thank you all for the congrats! :smile:

It’s a bit hard to clearly recall what the"shift" felt like but I do think that what you are talking about is what this “shift” was : )
