Hello !
My name is Victor, I am 16 (and French, but don’t tell anybody 
).
I discovered LD a while ago, first I was like: “What is this crap ? Some kind of grass smokers again…”. But then I read more and more, and as you no doubt have guessed, it seduced me.
The very first night I tried (sort of a MILD) it was a quite good start. My aim was to remember as many dream as I could. As I remember I woke up somewhere around 2 or 3 in the morning. I was quite exited I must say. I wrote what I remembered (2 pages !!) and went back to bed.
After that i tried different things, not hardly. I think (hope) lucidity will comes to me.
Now I have this sort of experience a lot:
I wake up in the morning, completely normal, and after a very short moment, a thought comes to me. I understand it is part of a dream I had, so I remember it the most I can.
It seams that in most of (all of) the dreams I remember there is a moment, very sudden, where I am beginning to think something is wrong, really wrong.
I don’t claim I had a lucid dream (yet). But I remember awesome things such as:
Saying very loud to the people around me: “I am having a lucid dream !” (Note that I said it in English even though it is not my native language, also note that, even though I said that I was not lucid at all, I was dream of being lucid, I swear it is one of the most frustrating things in my life )
Watching at my hands reality checking myself, asking myself “is this real ?” “WTF I am dreaming !?”
I remember dreaming of swimming, breathing under the water. I realised something was wrong. I woke up. And then I woke up AGAIN. (Is it what we called a false wake up ? Very annoying I can tell.)
And so on…
I guess all this are greats signs i am getting closer to lucidity, aren’t they ? (Answer yes or I kill you and all of your family, burn your house, your dog and your computer)
Last but not least, here is the experience that made me post a new tread here.
Yesterday night I read some websites about LD, for 10 minutes or so. Please note that I had never tried Wake Back To Bed method. I went on this web page. It is quite convincing so I tried. I tried WBTB this night. Read carefully:
I set my alarm clock at 5:45 am.
I went to bed at about 11:30 pm.
I woke up naturally at 5:10 or something like that. So I turned off my alarm clock, went to the bathroom to put water on my face (lovely 
).
I stayed awake for 45 minutes, reading a book about philosophy and another about logic. I precise I was setting on a CHAIR not comfy at all.
Very well, it is the time, I went back to bed around 5:50 or something like that.
But here is the thing.It took me like an hour to sleep again. I didn’t have any sort of lucid dream. This morning I woke up at 10 am very tired. I know I shouldn’t, but I must say I am a bit disappointed.
Anyway I’ll keep trying because I believe it’s awesome.
I am sure you have some comments about that, and I’d love to read them.
Cheers,
