Thread: Girlfriend's first awareness.

Lucky! You should ask her for some tips on how to do it as well :3

Getting over the adrenaline rush of realizing your dreaming takes time. I have had hundreds of lucid dreams and yet I still get that rush of excitement when it happens. The difference is I have, ingrained in my psyche, a visceral sense that I should remain calm.

Nightmares are awesome if your into lucid dreaming! Your dreams are more vivid, and there is a little bit more awareness, or maybe that's just how it is with me.. I love nightmares..

haha she suffers from a bit of anxiety and dreads nightmares and dreaming because of this however I think if she worked on becoming lucid more it could assist in it all. I think the more I talk about it, the more into the whole thing she gets which is cool. I can't say I'm not jealous haha.

So last night apparently she had a dream that she found her sister dead after a suicide (most of her dreams are nightmares btw) and after a few moments she realized how abnormal the entire situation was and caught that she was dreaming and startled herself awake. Shes lucky though, I'm doing my dream journal and reality checks and haven't gotten that close! haha

Congrats to your girl on LD and to you, that you have someone to talk about LDing.

Keep doing your practice, don't get discouraged. Join a DV Academy class if you'd like for some personalized guidance to help you finetune your technique. Happy dreams to both of you

She's lucky! Some people are just naturally gifted at it while others work harder. It's pretty unfair, but don't let unmotivated you. You will get there eventually, hopefully soon!

I tried so hard for the last month... o___o] I told my best friend and girlfriend about my newfound interest in lucid dreaming and suddenly, the next two days they BOTH have a lucid dream.

FML.
