What happens with me

Quest for Lucidity
1

I have to say that I am new in LD.

So last night was my first night to try on LD.
I read many techniques from many sources and I ended up with one that “Keep telling youself when you slept that you are dreaming.”

So i experienced very difficulty to sleep last night.

I end up being in the interrupted sleeping, I was using “sleeptracker” watch that allow you to track your sleep. It’s just the device that indicate that your body moves or not. Then they can analyse it as interrupted interval or actual sleep period (when your body paralyze).

Back to my last night, I ended up having 35 interrupted moments over my 8 hours sleep. Which I actually felt it when I shortly awoke and went back to sleep again.
So I was dreaming and then I was kidda realize that I was dreaming then I woke up.
I tried to go back to sleep again but when I closed my eyes, I was there in the dream. I’m not sure because I was thinking that or imaging that. Then I was kind of blackout. This thing occur several times to me last night. Just dream, realize wake up and then close my eye (not sure that go dream or imaging by myself) then black out. Then dream something again.

This sounds weird and I think it’s hard to understand with my skill of language to tell what’s exactly like.

However, I just want to ask Have you guy ever experience something like this that maybe you can’t tell that you are dreaming or you “force yourself to think that you were there in the dream.”

Thanks for your time and your thought.

Hello ChuangJ and :welcome: .

I have to admit that it’s not easy to passivelly get into a dream. If you pay too much attention on the HI, which are the images you see when you are getting close to a dream, they may fade out.

I recommend you to focus on staying aware about dreaming instead of focusing on the images that appear.

You don’t seem to be far from success, so keep it up. Good luck.

Update from last night,

So I decide to try the dream recall technique, the one that when I feel a wake and have to record my dream in my dream journal.

So last night, I did that. I planned to record it on my camera and haha nothing seemed to work at all. I am very sure I was recording the dream maybe 5 times last night. However, when I checked this morning there was nothing in the camcorder. BTW, i was sure too that I double checked the video be4 record the new dream.

It’s apparently that all the thing I did last night was the dream.

One more thing, how can you try to awake yourself in the dream? I think I was aware in the dream, but I just can’t resist the dream stream that I had. It is very dream and I think my subconsciousness just doesn’t want my to interfere. I felt like I’m watching some movies that I was also in that movies.

It like I was watching myself doing something, I tried very hard to tell me(the one that in the movie). As you know I can’t tell Dart Vader to kill Sith Lord. Yeah it’s the same feeling. I can’t interfere with the very strong dream stream.

Any advice?
