Hahahah...pretty sure my subconscious translated my nocturnal desire for a dip into an image of Jesse Ventura from Predator. Although, I better be careful, Dreamintrptr might stop by, tell me I'm wrong and try to peddle his book off on me.
Heh, well that sounds certainly... interesting. Gotta love the randomness behind dreams.
Nice one man, Ive just recently been able to successfully enter my dreams through WILD's ive had a nice streak of two nights lately, except for last night which was dry and dissapointing, Although whenever I am lucid I find myself only able to stay in my dreams for a couple minutes before they destabilize...Ive tried the spinning, but it never works, im going to try the hand rubbing technique next time im successfull and hope I have a longer REM period (and yes its towards the later parts of the night)
Thanks IK!! It was a very interesting experience. I have been reading, after the fact, regarding the de-activation of your brain's logic center when entering a dream state and the fun part was that I became lucid almost immediately after waking up in the field and I clearly remember thinking to myself "ok, I think I'm dreaming. I was JUST in my bed and I should not be in a field. I have to confirm this." It was like my logic center kicked right in and I viewed the whole thing like an experiment. I came very close to a WILD last night, but my mental discipline is still slightly lacking in this area.
You're welcome!
Well congrats on your first lucid! Very interesting. Always fun to read how other people's experiences turn out when they are just starting. I find it fascinating how your mind would focus in on objects, that would be very convenient for stabilizing dreams I can imagine (Mine are either completely clear or completely blurry so far. Though I haven't actually tried focusing a specific instance). Anyway, sounds like a nice first experience.
Thanks for the encouragement and tip! It was a pretty amazing experience considering my first time out was a DILD and I expected to have to turn to a WILD of some form.
Congratulations! It's a very good idea to focus on the environment you find yourself in first. Don't let the inability to use telekinesis on your very first try discourage you; most people find that many dream abilities must be learned and practiced. Keep at it, and good luck!
