My first lucid dream!!! :D

Lucid Adventures
1

Dudes and dudettes, I HAD MY FIRST LD :happy: :content: :tongue: :smile: Finally! I have been trying so long, even posted a thread in which I wrote how much I hated not being able to become lucid. I finally did it! Yay! ^^ Ok, here it goes:

03-01-10

Number of dreams: Remember 2 - Had another one which I can’t remember
Dream recall: 4/10
Vividness: 8.5/10
Short summary: I wrote about the dreams here in my DJ.
Method: DILD

The lucid dream: I was outside my bathroom. Some girl (I think it was my sister) was washing her hands in the sink. I entered the bathroom and she started talking to me. She was talking about dreams. At this point I kind of expected or waited for the lucidness to come, it was like I was aware of the dream, but still not. So she kept on talking and suddenly she said the word LUCID. At this point, it kind of struck me. I quickly did a reality check (pinched my hand) and then I became lucid![color=indigo] I was standing in front of another big white door, and I felt this amazing feeling. I finally did it, I became lucid. Now, I was happy and suddenly my heart stopped beating really fast (in the dream). I knew that I could wake up because of this, so I tried to calm myself down by saying “I am calm, I am calm”. Don’t think it worked. So I took another step and noticed the mirror in my bathroom. (The whole bathroom was like my IRL one, but it was kind of bigger.) I remembered that going inside of mirrors in LD’s can lead to awesome stuff. Before I went in, I started feeling that my dream would end, so I would have to do stuff before it ended. That’s why I went in the mirror. Stupid mistake, though. I went in the mirror, and it felt really fun. But the fun only lasted for a second. I woke up!

Even though I only had a 20 second LD, it was still amazing. I can’t wait to have another one. Gotta give a humor point to the irony in it all though.[/color] [i]

Anyway, so there you have it! My first LD! :grin: I have a couple of questions.

  1. How can increase the rate of DILD’s? I have tried WBTB and WILD, but those techniques never worked for me. I have tried other techniques, but I feel that DILD’s are easier and more fun now that I actually had a LD with DILD.
  2. How come my dream ended when I went in the mirror? How can I fix this?
  3. WOOT, I had a LD! :happy:

Bye! :content: :puh: :content:

yay me! :tongue:

  1. Congratulations on your first LD!!! :boogie:

  2. If your heart starts to race and you get exicted, don’t try to calm yourself down. Rub your hands or grab onto a Dream Object or DC, the sudden change could wake you up.

  3. The only way I know of to increase DILD’s is to use many different kinds of RC often. eg. nose, clock, light switch, etc.

  4. I do not think the dream ended because you tried to enter the mirrpr… but because you doubted the dream and the sudden change in your adrenaline.

Thanks man! And also, that’s true. Didnt think of it that way. I did actually doubt myself a bit.

Thanks! Hope I get another LD tonight. :happy:

Congrats ArmanMoo!! :woo:

First of all, I consider a 20 second LD as your first one a good thing!! Mine lasted like 5-10 seconds :lol:

I think the most important thing for you to realize is that now you have proof you can lucid dream! That should kill any “long term” insecurities! :tongue:

Considering the way you got lucid, I’d suggest you focus (perhaps together with anyother techniques) on doing RC’s whenever something weird or dream related happens. I always RC when I see a reference to dreaming (almost always :neutral: ), it’s a good habit to get into!

Good luck tonight, I hope you get many more LD’s soon :content:

Pinching your hand?

What RC is that?

7

Thanks, man!

And to meow; It’s… well… you pinch your hand to see if you feel any pain. If you don’t, well, then you’re in a dream!

sometimes that works and sometimes it doesnt
because of your mind, if u have it set where as in a dream u cant be hurt and u believe in it then u wont be hurt ,

i have it where i can be hurt so when ever i get hurt im like ouch
lol

and congrats on LD’s i had 5 already in a day because i can do em at will
4 at will 1 at sleep

Yea I do not think that is an RC. But I think, that he ha heard from all of us the old saying “pinch me I must be dreaming”, the false fact that you can not feel pain in dreams.

nice Lucid dream man! :smile: gotta try moving through a mirror the next time i’ll get lucid, i’d like to feel that “funny feeling” that u wrote! ;D

11

’

Haha yeah. Even tho I didn’t get completely through it, it still felt freaking awesome!

Cheers :content:

First of all congratulations!

I like this system! It’s more accurate than mine :happy:
What I got is L.L. > Lucidity Level from 1-5 and the percentage of beeing
lucid from the whole dream. like [LL 4.3 / 80% ]
From now on I’ll also write the DR and the VIvidness :tongue:

13

Thanks man! Hehe :smile: Also, I write down dream characters and Extra (like if the dream was fun, stupid, weird etc etc).

Cheers :smile:

Congratulations, my friend! I wish you had gone inside that mirror though. I would have loved to know what you found behind it. Something similar to what Alice in Wonderland did?? LOL!!

congratulations dude :smile:
