Hey guys and gals… Been a while. Since I was here last I kinda stopped conscious practice of LD, but a few months back out of the blue, I got lucid. This is how it went:
I was going through some kind of concretey corridors (somewhat like the corridors in the russian base in the snow if you ever played goldeneye on N64), and suddenly I came into a section that had no ceiling, and as I was walking through, I saw a shooting star. Then another… and another… and they built up speed until suddenly there were looooooooooads flying across the sky quickly one after the other, til there were many in the sky at the same time… I was like WOOOOOOOOAH! “I MUST be dreaming” - seriously, one of the most beautiful sights ever.
So - now you! Most astounding lucidity trigger, people?
The LD:s I´ve had so far have all been dreams within dreams. They all ended with me having a false awakening. So, I suppose falling asleep while sleeping is my number one lucidity trigger
I once had been playing the cartoonish game ‘Plants vs Zombies’ during the day, which features zombies trying to get in your house and eat your brain. That night I ‘woke up’ and saw 2 zombies in my backyard trying to get in to my home. I immediately realized it was just a dream and starting laughing, because I remembered what triggered this dream.
My main trigger is flying. I think about the better ways to do it than airswimming, then I realize I must be dreaming. Also, if a DC mentions something about a dream, I do a RC and become lucid as well.
As soon as I get superpowers in dream like flying, I notice I’m dreaming. Not always but often But usually I get my LD through WILD in the morning or through false awakening.
Well, that doesn’t work for me Once I explained what Lucid Dreaming is to a friend - in a dream! And I didn’t got Lucid
Mine is usually when I notice that something is changed from the last time I look at it. It almost like a RC on the bigger field of view. It may sound strange but I’ll give you a example.
I was in a NLD and I got to my room and I wanted to lock the doors. But as I came in I saw the bed to my right side and in front of me wardrobe. As I turned around to lock the doors which I couldn’t lock easily I had some difficulties the environment changed. Because when I turn around again to face wardrobe the wardrobe wasn’t there any more, the bed was instead and on the instead was some kind of jacket and it snapped me, this has to be a dream… And from that point I was lucid.
There were many other triggers but now I mostly use WILD and I’m lucid from the start but still when I see something special or strange or great I do RC, just to be sure!
I have learned to recognise some earlier nightmares in a way that gives instant lucidity. If I see ocean waves grow so big that they reach my parents’ house, it almost always makes me lucid now. Lately, I have started to recognise tornadoes and storms in the same way too.
my biggest trigger is my appearance, which doesn’t always make me go lucid and can be scary! one time looking in the mirror I saw I had teeth rotting and missing, it took me a minute to realize it was a dream.
2 nights ago I counted my fingers and saw I only had four, the most effective trigger yet! I count my fingers during the day all the time now.
I have pretty the same triggers, although I’ve only once experienced looking myself in a mirror. I’ve also had bad teeth and some were missing and my hair color changed from brown to orange and then again to brown. But it looked like the head was in one layer and color was in another and those layers were out of sync and all that looked really strange and funny and scary!
Funny, this one time I just spontaneously had a very long and vivid nonlucid dream.
I hadn’t even thought about any kind of dream for so long, so I logged in here to update my DJ with it. But that dream was so long that I just got too lazy to describe everything, and decided to leave it.
The next night, I became lucid. I think seeing the design of this site, after being away for long enough not to be desensitized, was some kind of autosuggestion.
