Hello Lowercase Society. Back to the point, it sort of happenned on night 3 of this experiment. However, whilst I recognised the dream state and started to do the excercises to confirm, I began to wake. However, whilst dreaming I did try to read 'The Daily Telegraph' (of all things) twice without too much success (everything seemed out of focus) and after trying to concentrate on the floor, when I lifted my head I just got a kaleidoscope of colours. Then I woke up. I fell asleep again (very excited) and again, acknowledged that once again I was in a dream state. I tried to levitate but in truth the dream did not seem vivid enough to support my consciousness. I woke up. Does this sound familiar? I dont know - -I'm new to this.
I know excactly what you're talking about. When I first started lucid dreaming, the dreams were always flimsy (for lack of a better word). It was like once I started to realize I was dreaming, I started to wake up. Pretty frustrating, but I eventually was able to control it.
