lucid

During a WBTB I found myself thinking "What can I find to prove that I am dreaming" and before I knew it I was. I found myself in a large palace type room with gold walls and waterfalls. I floated over to a waterfall and realized that the water was still and not flowing. Thinking about it for a while I remembered that I had a plan for my first lucid that lasted more than a couple seconds and I had attempted to go for it. I thought up a large portal in the middle of the room to take me back to my home and it looked like a rippling blue electric field that I had walked in. After going into it and arriving at what was supposed to be my home I had lost a lot of clarity. My vision was about as clear as my wake imagination where details just didn't exist. I soon lost control of the dream and remember nothing more.

After months of trying it feels pretty good to have something last longer than a couple seconds. I'll be there soon.

Sleep by 11:30pm
Woke after dream at 3:50am


So I went to bet quoting my mantra and I fell asleep. I had an alarm set for 4:00am to try FILD but I guess it was not needed tonight. In my dream I found myself at my dads house and me, my brother and my dad were watching a movie on the couch. I got up in the middle and went to the kitchen to get something to eat and when I opened the fridge I noticed something strange. There was no food in the fridge or cupboard. I knew this was off so my mind went to reality check mode and after the first test my finger went through my hand! My body was instantly filled with a rush of joy but I didn't want to wake myself up so I immediately lied on the floor and did all the stabilization methods I could think of. Sadly I don't remember much more of the dream after this. I know it continued because I have vague memorys of being in my bedroom watching Youtube videos on a bunk bed that should not have been there but I think I lost control.
Will keep trying and good luck on yours.

FILD Method
Sleeping at about 11pm
Woken up at 4am

After drinking a large glass of tea and diet coke I went to sleep. I woke up at 4am to attempt the FILD method for the first time and to great results. If you still have not managed to go lucid I recommend this as it worked on my first time.
I went to sleep tapping my fingers on my bed and the next thing I knew when my finger touched down it was transformed into a blue brush tool in Photoshop. I had placed a random blue dot off of the screen where it shouldn't be. The second this was placed I knew I was finally lucid. I went to grab for the pen tool in Photoshop and that's when I woke up.
Great I actually got this, now I need to try this tapping method again.
I went back to sleep attempting the same thing and I was transported to this dark grey room. There were large colored rectangles flying and bouncing off the walls. I decided I didn't want to move at all instead I just rubbed my hands together and watched the rectangles. I thought If I moved too soon I might move my real body and wake up so I continued to stand there. Blocks were flying through my body and I observed the hollow insides of them while they passed thinking about where I was. All of a sudden I had this urge to save my best friend who was being attacked by a zombie and I woke up.
