lucid

This is my first ever entry on DV. Welcome to myself

I had just got the Remee lucid dreaming mask and had programmed it to go off 2.5 hours after I went to sleep.

The lights did flash but it ended up waking me up so I dialed down the brightness and went back to sleep, setting it for 2.5 hours later.

This time I remember waking up and not seeing lights and I could hear birds outside so I assumed that it was close to dawn, so I set the mask for a nap timer and went back to sleep.

Yet again the lights went off and I woke up because of them, so I just took the mask off and tried to go back to sleep.

I was dreaming that I was some kind of agent running from the law. I was in some kind of hill town because the roads were going uphill and there were switchbacks leading up where I could see the road going up. I was thinking of where I could crash for the night or just put up my Kammok and sleep. I remember seeing some kind of hall where I thought I could put up the Kammok.

Soon after that I don't quite remember what happened but I had jumped off the hill and was flying in the air as if I was paragliding (I know how to). I saw that I could control the movement and that's when I realized I was lucid. I did my lucidity test by pressing my finger into my palm but it was the same as if I was awake - I could feel the finger pressing on my palm and not pushing itself through. I repeated the test and then I said, forget it, let's just enjoy what's going on.

I saw that there was no paraglider on top of me - it was just empty sky. But I could control my direction and altitude like I could in a regular paraglider. Just that in this case, I didn't really need to look for upward wind or anything - i was just flying effortlessly. I was flying over a small river through a colorful jungle. There was not much space to maneuver but I was doing well. I was enjoying being aware of the dream and the fact that I was flying because I really like to fly in dreams.

I was ambling about here and there navigating along the river and I remember seeing some ropes hanging from somewhere. I craned my neck to see where they were suspended from but I couldn't see anything and then I woke up.

Nice, fun first experience. The Remee didn't really induce the lucid dream but I'm happy as long as I had one.
