I have a lot to report - this might turn out to be a long post.
To start off, I went to bed as usual and then began daydreaming about my characters. It wasn’t very vivid like the time I had a few nights ago but it was still fun. During that ‘episode,’ I suddenly told my characters to make me lucid. I made it very abrupt and short, and then I continued the conversation as usual.
That night, I managed to have a lucid dream. It was very short and I had little to no control, but it was still a LD. At one point, a DC tried to distract me. When he did, I told him off for distracting me and then resumed the dream. I shortly had a FA and did not become lucid afterwards.
Since I had a lot of time on my hands, I decided to continuously fall asleep with my mantras and asked my characters to make me lucid. After immediately waking up, I tried to visualise a scene but I think I moved too much. I fell asleep shortly afterwards though.
The dream started with me and some of my friends talking about LDs in a port town at night (it reminded me of the port me and my characters stayed at when we were travelling to the Galtean province’s capital). I had this object, and when I pointed it towards the sky I could change the shape of the object, and it made a huge shadow of the sky of a random object. I continued having fun with this, and came lucid shortly after.
I immediately remembered about my characters - and I invented a method of summoning them. With my fingers, I trace a circle across the ground (I don’t actually put my fingers on the ground, but I draw it in air in relation to where I want it on the ground) and then summon a huge beam of light, and when that light fades my characters should appear. I decided to do so once at a time. First I summoned Shadow. When I saw him, he looked slightly different to what I imagine him to look like. He began talking to me, asking me how I was, and we had a little conversation. My friends came over and I introduced Shadow to them, and they looked puzzled.
I thought it was time to summon another characters. I summoned a female character using the same method, but she looked someone like I knew in real life. I tried to change her but I couldn’t. Because it didn’t work, I decided to banish the puppet by tracing a hole in the ground, and making her fall down it. I laughed and realised this power could be used in later LDs. Shortly after, she emerged from the ground again. My mistake - I knew she was a powerful magic user (in my daydreams).
Because my friends were there I felt as if I would get embarassed showing them the rest of my characters, so I decided not to (I was annoyed at myself when I woke up). I woke up shortly after and tried the VILD method.
I got very close. Whilst imagining a scene, I felt a huge surge of energy pulling at me and it was as if I was being pulled into the dream scene. At first I thought it was SP, so I decided to stop because it was pretty scary. I didn’t have any more LDs so I decided to wake up and post my experience here.
I’m happy that I managed to have 2 Lucid Dreams in one night thanks to CALD - and I still have something to try - meeting with all of my characters! And, next time I VILD I’ll try not to get scared like I did this morning.
