popped my cherry last night hoorah!!!

[baby faced assassin]

i attained lucidity for the first time last night. YES YES YES. I had little control over it and it lasted only for a few seconds(just like posts i have read stating that the excitement factor would probably kick in for the first realisation, they were right) I was just so overjoyed that it had actually happened, it was as if, oh I dont know, all i can think to say is YES. I will give a description now of my dreams just before lucidity during and after. Before lucidity I remember Oprah winfrey talking to a large fat naked pornographer(?) in her studio on her couch, the general feeling was that this man should be vilified by the watching audience for his job, but as he spoke people realised how intelligent, funny, articulate and pleasant he was, and that he was very likeable. I did not know i was dreaming at this point but it was very clear and real( a lot of my dreams recently have been clear but only upon waking do i realise i have been dreaming, not actually whilst dreaming. so close yet so far). Next i remember that an older man, maybe the father of the fat smut king, had died or moved on and has left a nice modern mansion to a younger relative(this part is quite hazy) but i am looking around it and it is nice and airy. Maybe my dream home of the future. I am viewing it from the outside first, as if i was cruising past in a vehicle. I think it was somewhere like miami, but i am not sure. Next off i am either in the mansion or in some sort of canteen talking to two cousins who i train with in martial arts.(i train with them in real life not in the dream) The older of the two is the one who tells me that the mansion was left to ME or the porno guy, i dont recall, anyway, I remember walking past my bedroom window with the light really shining in(my dream is really clear here)so i think i have just gotten out of bed, false awakening???, and i walk toward my underwear drawer. My room is slightly different to the real thing, there are no mirrored sliding doors in my dream and the drawers are in a different position than normal. i do not notice this but as i go to get my underware, i look down and realise that i already have my favorite pair on, then i think, i didnt know i had more than one pair of these!!, am i dreaming??so i start pulling all of the same pair of my fave boxers out of the drawer, over and over, like they are never ending I MUST BE!!!! F@?K!NG H£LL, I AM DREAMING, i definately know i do not have this many fave boxe shorts, and i start jumping around the room very excitedly. At this point i feel everything vibrating very softly and things become hazy, I know i am loosing it but cannot stop it in the excitement and wake up. What followed was a few minutes of testing myself, was i really awake this time? i wasnt sure for a moment and i felt a bit overawed, a little bit numb. But it felt good just knowing that it is possible and within my reach for me to explore my mind a little deeper, there are so many things i want to study within and i think that lucidity is a really important tool to have. I enjoy killing two birds with one stone, and if i can learn whilst asleep then that is great for me. i truly believe tht there are not enough hours in the day. this could be great for expansion of the mind and the soul. I think what helped me reach lucidity was reading ETWOLD, in particular, tholeys combined technique and the reflection-intention technique. I had read this a few nights in a row over the last few nights as this technique seemed to feel the best to me. it rang true to me and it is simple enough to do. just ask yourself during the day if you are dreaming. do this enough times and your mind will take over, automatically asking, especially when asleep. Also, this may or may not be relevant but i have just had a thought about what may have contributed to my lucidity. Last night i watched Big trouble in little china. Nothing untoward there i here you say. Not at all. Only i watched it with the running commentary with the director and main star kurt russell. Now, i was really listening to what these guys had to say as i have seen the movie lots so i just wanted to fully explore the dvd. Now when i was watching, it is like you are taking a back seat in the movie, as if you are seperated from the actual action of the movie, watching it as if displaced, or, fully conscious. I dont know if i have explained this well enough but my lucidity was like that, where my mind had seperated from the actual dream and was watching it from a back seat. IT WAS AWESOME AND I CANT WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. If u have got this far thanks for reading my post, so that is it, i have had my say, i have popped my cherry, and finally, LONG LIVE MY FAVORITE BOXERSHORTS. YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! BFA

Congrats mate!! That DVD commentary bit is interesting. I'll have to try it.

[baby faced assassin]

do you understand what imean about not being drawn into the movie, i just thought about that this afternoon and it was very similiar to the feeling i had when lucid.

[baby faced assassin]

it was uncanny how similiar the feelings of 'observing from the outside' were

[WhiteVeins]

Yeah, I totally get it and I think it makes sense. I've been finding my dreams all too easy to interpret. They usually involve things I did that day or have been pre-occupied with. So your dreams working like a director's commentary definitely makes sense to me and the not being drawn in part is very interesting. When I used the You Are Dreaming software, the word "Lucid" floated upward in plain view, just like it does on the computer. Anyhoo, glad it worked the way it did for you!

i just want to get regular lds, more control and i will be well happy.

BFA, LONG LIVE YOUR FAVORITE BOXERSHORTS!! Congratulations on the lucid dream.. may they only get better!! ps.. quite an attention getting post title! It wasnt the most exciting lucid , granted, but just the fact that it happened means a lot to me. With regards to the title, i bet it was a bit of a let down to any and all who read it, when they open up the link expecting some hot, steamy erotic story, only to have me driveling on about my fave boxer shorts. HAHAHA. Maybe there should be a 'cherry popped post' for all the new guys and gals' first time experiences. I hope to get better at this, as i said in my last post i believe this has the power to be a fantastic life skill so i will keep chipping away at it as i have a lively imagination and i want to use it to its max live long and prosper bfa
