Thread: My First Real Lucid After 3 Weeks Here

I had my very first real lucid dream last night with DILD after 3 weeks.

It was extremely vivid and extremely realistic, in fact, I couldn't tell I was actually dreaming right from the start.

I saw myself walking down a beach, blue sky, white sands and then suddenly, it dawned on me that I should do my reality check (which I have been conciously doing during waking hours over the past 3 weeks). I did a nose pinch and to my BIG surprise, I continued to breathe!!

I laughed out really loud and thought to myself, hey, this is what lucid dreaming is all about! I pinched my nose again and held it there while I breathed. I suddenly found myself in this house with pink walls. I then went around the house feeling the walls and admiring how real everything is even though its just a dream.

The entire time I found myself exploring the textures and smell of everything in the dream and surprised myself how everything looks so real.

The whole dream was long and vivid , about 30 mins or so before I awoke.

Truly amazing.

The thing is, the LD came when I least thought of it. I kinda gave up trying to do all kinds of deliberate induction techniques but just practise RC throughout my waking hours and it seems like it carried over to my dream as well.

Contrary to my previous thinking, LD do not rob you of well deserved sleep or rest by making your brain work overtime in a dream. I still feel rested just like any other nights.

Well, thats LD boot camp for me, just seeing how everything is so real in a dream. I will be trying more things in my next LD for sure.
