i finally had my first lucid dream!!

[lucidmageta]

last night i was dreaming that i was at some lake, i used an inner tube to get to the other side where i stoel some beef jerkey from a small store, the guy saw me and started coming after me, this is where the dream got scary, i ran and when i got back to the resort i was staying at he was already there looking for me, so i ran back through the woods and got to a huge lake, this eventually led me back to a dirt road whre i saw his truck! i hid under this wooden platform but he found me and i woke up from fear.

then i tried to fall back asleep while telling myself i would become lucid, it worked! but instead of going back to the lake, i appeared on top of the dazzling white building with cherry blossom trees all around it, i looked to the sky to see if it looked cool but i was greeted by clouds i also had a lightsaber with me!? i started down the roof to go look for the guy so i could confront him and it all started to fade, i looked at my hand and spun around but all was lost and i woke up… but i finnaly succeeded!! it only lasted abouot 10-15 seconds.

and i was wondering why i had the lightsaber? i thought that when you had an LD you just whre there by yourself, i didnt know you could appear with accesories

and also it didnt seem as real as i thought, it was kinda hazy as if i was almost not there, are there several levels of lucidity?

sorry for the long post i had a lot to discuss

Welcome!

Yeah, there are a bunch of lucid levels. Sounds like yours was low, since it was hazy. Still good though!

Hi lucidmageta! Welcome to LD4all!

and i was wondering why i had the lightsaber? i thought that when you had an LD you just whre there by yourself, i didnt know you could appear with accesories

I admit it’s rather curious, but you have to remember it’s a dream… and dreams are often curious! You can somehow control it and change its content, but in the beginning, the dream is build by your unconscious, so it’s quite normal there are strange things in it.

and also it didnt seem as real as i thought, it was kinda hazy as if i was almost not there, are there several levels of lucidity?

There are several levels of lucidity, and there are several levels of realism. You may be very lucid (thinking as well as when you’re awake) in a poorly realistic dream.

Congrats on your first lucid dream. I hope you’ll try another level of realism in your next LD!

Salvia (for my friends excluding me) is supposed to make your dreams suuuuper realistic… From what I’ve heard… Smoke some

Where do you get it?? Considering that it is now not entirely legal here in Norway…

Lucretia88,
Salvia is a strong hallucinogenic and it can even be dangerous. Here is the info you can find on this forum :

Salvia on the otherhand is a strong drug that causes intense hallucinations, so you’d probably want to stay away from it. This is not to be takin lightly. It is a very powerfull hallucinogen when taken correctly. […] The only catch is that your SBEN (the system that stops you from walking around when you are dreaming) is not active when you use salvia. So you could just walk around all over the place and even kill yourself, because the world you are seeing is not the real world… nevertheless you are moving about in the real world.

@Harlequin

If you are planning on taking salvia, I cannot stress enough the importance of having a sober sitter with you–someone who’s physically able to restrain you. While most salvia experiences pass without incident, it does have disassociative properties and the vast majority of salvia-related mishaps occurred because a person didn’t realize that they were essentially sleepwalking: people have broken bones by tripping over furniture under the influence, or burned themselves by mistake, or even something as unlikely-sounding as falling out of a window. You may think that you can hold still but be aware that your body and mind will be in two different places.

@Jeff

I agree with Harlequin that its better to have someone with u if u take salvia. A female friend of mine smoked once a good full shot and she was totally not aware what was happening around her and after 6 min of zombie state she started walking through my house like a moving zombie totally not recognising who or were she was…if she would have been alone an accident easely could have happend.

So it’s a drug which has not to be taken thoughlessly. Moreover, it does not seem to have any great effect on dream vividness.

@Xetrov

As far as I experienced, salvia has little to no effect on dreams.

@ulrik_tr

Didn’t notice any difference in recall or vividness of my dreams though.

So when you give a beginner (who may be 13 old, as the main part of the members are about 15) the advice of smoking a strong hallucinogenic, without warning him about the effects, don’t you think it looks like a very bad joke? Please remember too that the “First Step to Lucidity” section is there in order to learn how to dream lucidly and not to learn how to do drugs. For those reasons, I don’t find your advice to be extremely judicious.
