Strange occurance, help?

Well, two nights ago I had my very first Lucid dream since I started to try lucid dreaming. It was awesome, no Dream Control though...

Back to the point. I was basically sitting on the couch, thinking about Lucid dreaming without anything else for a good 30 minutes. Then hours later, I went to bed, and had a Lucid dream and extremely strange DEILD after that. But back to the point...

Why had that worked but nothing else? I know that Dreams are used for processing information you learned during the day. Sometimes when I think about girls with deep emotion, or just make funny jokes with people, they stick in my dreams. A girl I think about a lot appears in my dream. I make a Mr. Anderson joke, and a Matrix Agent is in my dream. I think that thinking about Lucid dreaming a lot can help get it into your dream, and the weird part, is that I don't even remember becoming Lucid. I was just Lucid from the start of the dream.

The problem is, I tried the same thing yesterday, no luck. Help?

It is a bit of hit or miss, but you are on the right track. I don't know of anyone who has LDs every night. Some times even the best LDers go many days without one.

Hmm, alright, I think I'll be just trying that and DEILDing. I woke up with my eyes closed 2 times last night, that's very good :D

Hmm seems like dream incubation would be a good method for you to try. I mean you can imagine girls telling you that you are dreaming or imagine yourself doing a reality check over and over, and if your lucky you mgiht dream about it and get lucid =) And congrats to your first lucid ;)

I'm not sure, but sometime there could be a delay between your thoughts and practice and when it manifest itself in your dreams.

For me, I'm very rarely able to enter LD the same way, even if I believe, I recreated conditions and preparations exactly the same way. I can have DILDs every other day from morning WBTB for a month, and then bam, nothing. I start doing WILDs and I can have a bunch untill it stops working and have to try another approach.

But keep trying, just don't be disappointed, because that's the nature of the game. Happy dreams:alien:

Oh yeah, congrats on your lucid. Keep that excitement and intent going.
