lucid

This LD was during an hour nap, which kinda surprised me, since i wasnt even trying to sleep.

So, in the dream, I was laying in my bed. I had one eye open, and i was eating turnips, but when i put them in my mouth, I realized how much I hated them, and I said "ew, i dont like those," and held the fork up to look at them, only I couldn't see the fork. or my hand. I instantly realized i was in a dream, so i tried to slowly open up my other eye without waking up. It worked after a few minutes. i kept waving the invisible fork in front of my face as a reminder, and i tried to sit up. i was going to get out of my bed (i have a bunk bed and i was on the top, so i had to try to find the ladder) but i realized how dreamlike it was. I remembered to shout "Clarity now" and by doing so i woke myself up.

Though i woke up, this is a huge upgrade from my previous LDs, and I think that eventually i will be able to get it right without waking myself up. My awareness is way better than my first 2 and better yet than my 3rd.

So, I've finally had another lucid dream again, after my first two that were probably months ago... but this one was really different.

It started off, that everything was black, and I couldn't see anything, but after a while I realized I could hear this sound like wind, or rushing waves, and I thought "oh hey I'm dreaming" and I got scared. (I remember seeing people post threads about that when i first started, but i cant remember so i'll have to go check em out again -- or post one myself ^ ^) so, anyway, I was feaking out basically because it was dark (if you've read my thread about my 'false lucid' so to say, you would know that i'm scared of dark in my dreams...) so i decided to try something, I told myself that when I turn around, it will be sunny, but I guess i didnt believe it enough, so it was still dark. then i decided to let my thoughts wander for just a second, and i could see my moms face. of course, i decided to stick with that, and started to focus on her. Surprisingly the results were pretty accurate, but shortly after, I was in my bed, though even as I was there, I was almost positive it was a false awakening, but I didn't want to continue, because in my room, I always think of the worst things, so i figured Id end up creating a nightmare and scaring myself to death, so i closed my eyes and went to sleep in the dream, and so, I woke up.

Though it was not really interesting at all, I'm excited about having this LD since my other two were not controllable at all, and i was hardly aware in. I hope that I will continue to have more LDs in the future, hopefully more interesting, longer, and more controllable, but I'm actually surprised about this one because I actually haven't really been trying for a LD lately...

I am standing in a room that is empty of anything but myself, and kitchen cabinets. Everything is painted pale grey. I realized that the room made no sense, and I had no idea where it was, as I had never been there before. I decided to do an RC to see if I was awake, so I plugged my nose, and breathed in. I could feel the air going into my lungs. For a moment I thought I hadn't even done it, so I tried again. This time I made it a point to pay all of my attention to what I was doing. I still felt the air rushing into my lungs when I breathed. I became excited, and was thinking [I]oh my God I did it![I] Then as I was going to try to change the scene around me, I woke up.

It kinda sucked, waking up from the first time I had an LD and knew what it was. But I suppose since I didn't get to do anything in my first, it will just get me excited for the next ones.
