I couldn’t be more excited
This is my first LD in over four years (my fourth overall) and I’ve been trying so hard for 7 months to get lucid again.
I was having a normal dream where I had come back from a holiday and was picking up my pet rats from someone who’d been looking after them. My rat who had died last week was there. After a few excuses for why she was alive didn’t convince me I suddnely thought ‘could I be dreaming?’ My initial response was disbelief but I held my nose and could breath through it easily.
I was suddenly thrown into a false awakening which I didn’t believe for a second. I was in my bed and it was very dark except for a line of light coming through from the curtains. I got up and walked around my room. I was about 8 foot tall for some reason but I thought it was pretty cool.
I decided I couldn’t turn the light on because that would wake up my wife who I could see sleeping in bed. So instead I decided to try closing my eyes and demanding light. When that didn’t work I tried to make the sun rise by closing my eyes and imagining myself as some sort of ‘god’ pulling it up with a fishing line. I tried looking at item around the room in deatail but even my eyes were fuzzy and couldn’t focus properly. When that didn’t work I realised, this is stupid, Im wouldn’t be truning on the real light and my wife is just a DC!! So I walked over to the door and was just going to walk out when everything went blank and I was pulled into another FA.
This time I believed it. I told my DC ‘wife’ that I’d just had a lucid dream and she told me to shut up because she was sleeping So I tried to WILD. I had intense vibrations and tingling sensations all over my body and I thought it might work but they suddenly stopped so I gave up and drifted back into a ND.
Overall it wasn’t the most vivid LD but my clarity of thought was so much better than my previous LDs years ago. Although, to start with I was worrying about waking my wife up with my dream, I reasised that was stupid and after that, I felt full awareness and lucidity like I’d never felt before.
Ive been in an amazing mood all day!!!
