Lost an LD!

Quest for Lucidity
1

Well, I have had 3 or 4 LDs in the past, and within the last month I have gotten REALLY interested in them. I have read lots of info on this site, and have also picked up a book about dreaming.

I tried WILD once, but I just couldn’t stop fidgeting. I am one of those people who HAVE to be moving. I got as far as my hands and feet getting numb, but I had to stop at that point.

I tried WBTB once, no results from that. I know it takes a LOT more than just one try, but I cannot wake myself up during the night, so that method was out.

I have been trying to keep up with RCs, but I am rather forgetful as well. :uh:

But last night, for the first time in several months. I ALMOST had an LD. I say ALMOST because It wasn’t really sucessful.

I am not sure exactly what dream I was having, but I was dreaming and my mind said… I’m dreaming!!! I was excited, an LD at last! But my hopes were shattered as everything went dim, and soon I couldn’t see anything. I was confused. Then I woke up.

Do you think I got overexcited and woke myself up? Or was it something else?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I do not think I had much time. I think as soon as I realized I was in a dream, everything went dark and I woke up. So I don’t think it’s because I lacked confidene. I could be wrong though.

try rubbing your hands, spinning, grabbing onto a dc when u see ur vision starting to get dim- that’s the warning you get that you’re going to wake up- but there are ways to prevent yourself from leaving the dream scene.

I think I may have tried, I don’t remember. It just felt like it was very fast and sudden. instant darkness.

I will try it next time!

There was the same question in the topic beside this one.
I answered it there, so you can check it.

The topic is called ‘‘This LD stuff so cool’’ or something like that.
