I did it!! kind of..

Quest for Lucidity
1

Well I definitely realized I was dreaming last night.

My friend had bought a new house, and we were smoking pot on the deck. One of the neighbors came over and invited us to his basement. When we got down there I distinctly knew that he had a pretty big grow room full of hundreds of plants in the room right next to us, with the door wide open, but I was tryng not to look in because I felt it wasnt something I should see. He asked us “What kind of crowns we knew”, and one of the other DC started naming off a bunch of different types of pot (I dont smoke it very much and dont pay attention to the names). While he was listing off names, I thought that it was really strange that this guy that we didnt even know would invite us in and openly show his huge grow room. The DC named “Moments of thirst”, and owner said yes thats what this was.

Right then the thought “Im dreaming” smacked me like a ton of bricks. It was more like “I ’ M D R E A M I N G!!!”. I got really excited and I could feel myself waking up. I tried to calm myself down and try some of the methods of retaining the dream I’d read. I tried spinning and rubbing my hands together but I ended up awake anyways.

It was really exciting, thats about all I can describe it as. I can still feel the excitement. I wish I hadnt woken up right away!

Good Job Raaj

was this your first LD? Or have you had any others?

The first time you go lucid, is definatly the coolest feeling ever, you will be happy for at least a week.

its common for the first few times you go lucid, even if you do techniques to stay alseep, for you to wake up anyway, but its still a very big accomplishment.

Good luck getting more LDs in teh future :smile:

Welcome to the forum Raaj, :wave: and congrats on your (1st?) lucid dream! :thumbs:
Was it your first LD indeed? Did you try for a long time? Were you using an induction technique?

Well done, if that was your first LD this is the start of something huge and wonderful.

Enjoy!

Don’t worry about waking up so soon. It happens to all newbies (I take it you are one?) :smile:. As you get more expereinced, your LD’s will get longer.

The first realisation is great isn’t it? Although it was brief, you’ve had a taste of lucid dreaming. Now you know you can do it, it should make things easier. Remember not to try too hard though, stay relaxed and let things build gradually.

Well done man! It would be interesting to know if you used any induction techniques or anything like that…
