I finally had my first lucid dream! at least i think it was
I didn’t do any reality checks or anything, i just suddenly in the middle of my dream realized i was dreaming. i wondered what i would do next so i decided i’d fly around a little since i wanted to try it i moved my arms like a bird and flew around (for some reason, while i was flying, the song moon river was played out loud, or i heard someone sing it ) then i decided i’d try something else, i wanted to create a dream character and tried picturing a person so that there would be someone i could ask questions to or something, to see what happens. (i was alone in some dark room) it didn’t really work, i tried to think of some random face and it appeared in the sky but i couldn’t make a person out of it. so i gave it up and sort of climbed up a wall… i don’t know that’s all i can remember, from then on i think i had another dream or it transfered and i “forgot” i was lucid. or lost lucidity.
i’m so glad it finally worked it was just awesome. but the thing is, while i was dreaming, i didn’t get exited and didn’t think of much i could do, it’s like i wasn’t FULLY lucid, as if there was only half of the “knowingness”? it might be because i didn’t do a reality check or spin around or anything. i just (out of nowhere) came to the conclusion that i must be dreaming, and started acting out the things i planned on trying out on my first lucid dream. oh well.
is there a way to make lucidity more…intense? to increase the “knowingness”?
Congratulations, DreamingJosephine! That’s awesome that you’ve had success. It’s very rewarding, eh?
To answer your question: yes, there are ways you can engage yourself more fully in a dream. I’ll direct you to the following thread because it is full of win when it comes to dream control:
You should write out a list of things you want to accomlish in LD’s and review it every night you go to bed. This will help a lot with the “ok, what now?” sensation. Focus on one goal at a time, but stay active or else you might lose the dream. Best of luck, let us know if you have more questions
Congrats. Definitely not bad for a first LD. BTW, it’s normal to not become fully lucid the first time. Especially if you don’t wake up immediately afterwards, it can cause some doubts if it was just a FLD. My personal experience is that I much rather wake up while being lucid after a while than loosing my lucidness over time, because it fades the memory.
Congrats! I became lucid in my first LD the same way (no RC’s or anything).
As others have said, your dream sounds like a typical first LD. As you have more, you’ll be able to think more clearly and they’ll get better. Good luck!
haha you guys are so sweet! thank you so much!
i’m going to start doing more RC’s and keeping on track with it so
i hope my next lucid experience is going to be even better like you said, and i’ll inform you of course
<3
This has got to be one of the most celebrated first LD’s ever … but nonetheless, sincere congratulations!
Control and vividness will come with the desire of them, and more confidence, so be sure to practice them! And good luck for your next dreams
