Hello I just had my first lucid dream last night and would like to get there again.
A little background about myself I really only found out about LD about 2 months ago. Some friends kept talking about it and it sounded interesting. I didn’t look into it too much but they told me about how you do something habitually through the day and hopefully you try it in a dream and figure out you are in a dream.
Well I tried walking through my cubicle wall for about a week and realized i look like an idiot in front of everyone so I basically forgot about it for a month and I just randomly had a lucid dream last night. Upon some research today it seems that I also followed that wake up method unintentionally.
So I fell asleep when the world cup went into overtime. I woke up when germany won then i went to my room hung out a bit and went to sleep again untill 2 am I am guessing i got around 6 hours of sleep. I stayed up talking to an ex till 6am and between 6am-8am i had my lucid dream.
The dream:
I was in a classroom with some coworkers/friends one day and then i came back the next day and the room had no people in it. I thought to myself well ok this is weird this makes absolutely no frickin sense. Why would I be in a classroom with no people? Did I forgot if there is school today? thats not like me to forget i dont have school (completely ignoring the fact I graduated 2 years ago). So I had a thought that i might be in a dream. I decided to pinch myself and then i got surprised and felt like hollyyyy hell i cant feel this at all! So then i decide to do my wall thing. I go up to a chalkboard and push on it with 2 hands leaning forward. For a second nothing happens but then slowly my hands sink into the wall. I got so excited i couldnt believe i was doing it. So after i enter the wall i feel like i am falling but i am instantly thinking ok ok ok i need to think of a place to go. i recently went to a waterpark so i thought about going there but then i thought “hey i do that in real life lets do something crazier. It was here where things get foggy I can’t remember where I went. I remember i wanted to try to fly but cannot remember the attempt. However I do remember going through about 3 walls and each wall i thought of a new place to go. Also I remember that I was yelli anngd i thought to myself,” hmm i wonder if my physical body in my room is yelling too I hope no one hears me and wakes me up". I woke up at 8am to my alarm and went back to sleep for 20 minutes. The end part of my dream i could not tell if it was lucid or not. and i cannot remember if it was in the 6am-8am dream or the bonus 20 minute sleep i had after my alarm went off. but that dream i was living with a few chicks and they would have sex with me when they got in the mood. one girl came over to my room then the other one. yeah… something i probably would try to cook up to be honest I mentioned the 3some thing a few times jokingly with my ex which may of actually made her my ex but thats besides the point.
Anyways This is my first lucid dream i was really excited during the dream it was really amazing how self aware i was. I kept thinking ok where do i go next. I have been talking to my friends all day about this and even the dreams they told me they had were lucid does not seem like they had control like i did in this dream.
So a few questions.
How do I get more consistent? before this i have wrote down maybe 5-7 dreams and alot of them were in the same week but this was about a month ago.
I have started pinching myself throughout the day which is starting to hurt but whatever if it works.
I read about meditating for a bit everyday. how do i do that what am i supposed to think about?
I am so excited about this I feel like it might never happen again because i want it to happen again too much.
