How far have i gotten?

Quest for Lucidity General Lucidness
1

First LD
It was about ½ month ago I had my first LD. Totally by “accident” and it went on for a long time, at least that’s how i remember it. Great dream. I wouldn’t be surprised if I got the LD because I read in a science magazine about lucid dreaming, and about how gamers would make great dream controllers because they control characters in their games. I thought “huh how cool” (me being 16 and done plenty of gaming) but didn’t give it anymore thought.

Anyhow when I woke up I went crazy about having this awesome dream where I was in charge of everything! went searching about it and ended up here and read about DJ and how you should practice your recall, and so I got a DJ and started to wright down my next dreams, it went great :smile: it’s all about not getting up and starting to recall ASAP. Now I got tons of dreams in there.

Second and third LD

Now to yesterday I woke up and I just had my second LD, I remember the moment when I understood that I was dreaming very clearly, and when I later woke up I was really stunned by how clear my memory was atm. When I knew I was dreaming I thought wow what to do now? I thougt of LD4all and how people wrote about how they want to fly, and the next second I was taking off like Iron man to the skies. But I changed the scenario very fast to having sex, haha I had all these crazy ideas of what I wanted to do! and therefor I didn’t stay calm. I went on have some kind of mix between LD and a normal dream, I remember parts of it being lucid and some parts not lucid.

I woke up thinking about how I wished the dreams where sharper and I wanted the dreams to be vivid. And then to this morning I woke up didn’t remember any dreams of all, then found out that my lessons where canceled and I went back to sleep. And I was texting a very good friend of mine and i remember texting him a final text saying ironical goodnight and then I layed down to get some more sleep.

Then I turned lucid when I was about to wake up minuets later but I focused and stayed in the dreaming but of course, now being lucid. And now this dream was amazing! I was in my class sports room (my god I have no clue what the English word is, gym room, where you have the “sports hour”? sorry I’m from Sweden :wink: ) anyhow I remembered going room to room and it was so incredibly realistic! the details was unbelievable it was 100% like your normal day vision! I remember clearly how I felt the air (!) from breathing trough my nose even! of course I could tell the dreaming and RL apart but it was truly astonishing. Moments later in the dream I woke up cause I was to excited about this thing. And the crazy part is that only 30 min had passed since that last text.

Now how far have I gotten? I want to reach the stage where I go to sleep and softly “enter” my LDs, without letting my mind go to sleep. Have you ever thought about how much “life” and experiences we miss out by sleeping? we sleep 20 years of our lifes from what I’ve heard and that’s -20 years of living in my book. Until now, imagine always staying conscious 24/7!

I’m sorry for any mispelling, as I said I’m a Swede :tongue:

And by the way, I never done any reality checks. I’ve just woken up inside my dreams. I don’t really get the thing about reality checks, are they for confirming that you’re actually dreaming or for turning yourself lucid? cause how can you find yourself thinking “let’s become lucid by doing a RC” ? that’s being lucid already?

My mind is like telling me that I’m dreaming all of the sudden and thats it, there I go. No doubting.

Almost all the conversation here is about WILDing, but I’ve never done that. My advice is that if you want to dream lucidly, then A) take measures to make your dreams more vivid and memorable, and B) learn how to recognize dreaming scenarios.

As with anything else, keep it simple.
