Howdy all, first entry on this forum.
I’ve been aware of the phenomenon of lucid dreaming for awhile, though I’ve never taken the time to read and experience it until a few days ago. I do no methods for DR, except keeping a DJ, since I tend to remember 2-3 dreams every night.
When it gets to lucid dreaming, I’ve had many throughout the years, even before I knew there was such a thing. I’ve always thought of it as something natural and thought everyone experienced gaining control over their dreams. This is dreams with very low lucidity however, and has felt like normal dreams. I tried MILD with no success on thursday and after that I really have not tried to achieve it.
Yesterday, however, I woke up around 9am, somewhat morning-afterish, got out of bed and down to the kitchen. Drank some water and went back to bed after around 15min. A performing of an unconscious WBTB. I had no further thoughts about LD at all. The first dream I can remember after that, I spotted one of my regular dream themes and realized I was dreaming. I felt more excited than I’ve done before, probably because I have never been aware of what this was. Almost instantly I was close wake up, but I focused to stay in the dream and rubbed my hands and spinned.
I tried to levitate with no success, but after a few tries of flying I started to fly within doors. I saw an open window that was all black, so why not fly outdoors as well? I fell straight to the ground. The weird thing throughout the dream is that I constantly was rubbing hands and saying to myself “I’ve become lucid, I’ve become lucid.” I did no RCs as I didn’t even think of it (probably because I haven’t been used to do them yet), and the lucidity was of very low level. It changed from ND to LD all the time, and I were dreaming normally even though I kept repeating I was lucid and it was all a dream. Got this feeling that I was dreaming I was lucid. I also tried to generate a DC of a certain person, but I instead of the person I had in mind, I got some totally unknown guy.
I constantly entered walls to change location, and had like 10 different dreams in the same dream. Some with low lucidity. Some dreams were even connected, like when I spoke to some friends of a person, then got this person’s address and then just entered a wall and the location had changed to her house.
I wake up thinking, I’ve had a lucid dream. Any tips on how to increase lucidity and help my mind to a more logical state? I rubbed hands, spinned, told myself this was a LD. The level of lucidity still was low. And I actually lost lucidity while I was saying to myself I was dreaming. Seems like I really didn’t think about it even though I constantly told me so. Next time I’ll try to do some simple maths, asking for more lucidity loud and not least do RCs!
