I have been working on having a lucid dream for the last 2 months after reading this topic. ld4all helped me alot with starting to have dream recall and now my first lucid dream.
It seems every time that i dream, i have a different mind set than when i am concious, its like im not even in control, even though my brain is active and thinking, so wierd shit happens.
Last night i FINALLY had my first lucid dream. It was like my concious normal thinking brain overtook my dream brain,.I realized… hey… im dreaming… this is actually a lucid dream. So i tried to get up ( in my dream), and move around… but i honestly couldnt move my body more than a few inches. I think my downfall was just thinking too much hoping the lucidity would last long and let me move around. Then it all went fuzzy and i woke up ( or so i thought). I only woke up but into another dream, which unforunately was not lucid.
This is something i hope to experience again. Only next time, more vivid and long lasting. Thankyou ld4all!
Anyone please reply to me if you have any advice to make my lucid dream experience better, and what i can do with what i have learned.
Congrats.
Just keep doing it and it will get better and longer. Good luck!
I’m somewhat scared that i wont be able to get into another LD. Its almost like by chance i realized in the middle of a dream that i was in fact dreaming. Its hard to understand why it is so hard to make your self realize that.
Just keep up practising the exercices which made you lucid. It’s not by chance that it occured. You can have this impression because sometimes lucidity appears and you don’t know why. Yet this happens to each of us, lucidity is reached without apparently a reason (no dreamsign, no RC, etc.) but indeed it’s due to the practice.
A good idea in your next LD is looking at your hands as soon as you become lucid. Then you look back at the background. It may be used as a RC and if you look at them from time to time, it’s a good prolonging technique. And if you lose visuals and can no more see your hands, you can still rub them. Generally, it makes the dream reappear.
Congrats on your first LD and good luck! 
1 Question- Why couldnt i move around? I feel that if i could have moved around, the LD would have lasted longer. It was like i realized in my head i am in an LD, but when i tried to get up in my dream i was just stuck and couldnt move but a few inches.
