hey,
i'm joe and i'm new to posting, but have been reading these forums for about four months now.
i have been trying to get lucid for about the same amount of time, and just two nights ago i did it! yay for me...
so what happened is this; i set one alarm at 8:00am and another at 8:30am so i can just lay there for a while (not for LD, just cause i like to). and the other day, after my second alarm went off i fell back asleep and started having another dream that was one of many that were the same for that night.
in the middle of it, i remember putting my phone and watch on a table so i could crawl down a cave to get to a job interview (right).
and then i realised that this was kind of strange, and i was dreaming, after i realised this i was back i my room, so i tried jumping and i slowly floated back down and had that tingling sensation. i thought about trying to put my hand thru my other one, but didn't for some reason, i also thought about walking thru a wall but didn't.
i jumped up again and started to fall back to do a backward summer sault, in the middle of it i though "oh no, if i do this i will wake up", but i couldn't stop myself and i woke.
so last night i tried waking after five hours of sleep, got up, ate some chocolate and went back to bed 30 minutes later, but i think i ate too much and felt sick and couldn't get back to sleep for a few hours.
so basically, any tips on what else to try? tonight i am just gonna set my alarms again and see if that works. LDing is the coolest thing ever and i can't wait to have another one.
oh, and just a quick thanks to all on this board, the creators of this board and the mods for making access to all the needed info easy and reliable. without it i would not have had the experience of two nights ago.
