I did it!!!!

Quest for Lucidity General Lucidness
1

I couldn’t be more excited :woo:
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 :eek: 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!!! :happy:

Yeah it’s great, it carries me through the day, and I have so much motivation after LD, 1000 ideas are born in my mind, what to do next time, how to do it… It’s just amazing feeling… :happy:

Thanks everyone! :smile:
Since this dream I’ve been having loads of NDs with Lucidity mentioned too so I’m guessing my second LD is just around the corner! I was so close last night. I was thinking about what I’d do if I was lucid for most of my dream :ack:

I am now a strong believer in taking a break when going through a dry spell. I was trying so hard to LD, getting nowhere and that was reaffirming my belief that LDing was impossible. I took a week off (except for telling myself lucid dreaming was easy every now and then) and got lucid without really trying.

Sometimes that little break is all it takes. Glad to hear you’re having even more success :content:
