lucid

I don't remember the moment that I became lucid. It seems as though when I do wakek-back-to-bed, I become lucid without having to do a reality test. Anyway, I found myself on a beach and to my left were the craziest barreling waves I've ever seen. Its strange how vivid these were; the colors were somehow more vibrant an alive than they'd be in real life. I continued down the beach then turned right to what looked like temple ruins. I started ascending the stairs, but I could tell the dream was fading. I began spinning to keep myself from blacking out, and I felt a strong G-force which kept me rooted in the dream. I soon found myself in a lecture room setting, but the dream faded soon after, and I can't remember the details.

I had an actual waking not long after, and another lucid dream, and I am a bit frustrated that I can't remember it.

After a 4-5 year hiatus from trying to LD, I'm finally going back to my old methods, and trying to get better. This is the 2nd night, waking up after 6 hours and attempting MILD.

I'm laying in bed thinking about dreaming, what I should be doing for reality checks, and wondering if I'll be able to successfully LD again. I look at my hands and start counting my fingers (as I do during the day to reality test). I then notice I definitely went above 5 (I hope I can count, but let me try again). I hit 6, and it hits me pretty hard that I'm finally LDing again. I end up in a lagoon/marsh area, resembling a painting of a beach I have behind my bed, although I didn't jump through it. The colors are a vivid blend of red and amber, and there are people laying down next to the water. I decide to drag one into the water- I'm not really sure why. I continue down the marsh area a bit. The dream begins to fade though, and I soon wake up. A crazy chain of Lucid Dreams and False Awakenings and ensues, but I'll fill in the entry later today.

- An awesome 2nd day back!

This next segment was a string of roughly 3 Lucid dreams, all spaced out by real and false awakenings. My memory isn't exact though as I am writing this about a week after the fact. Anyway, I did not need to look for a dream sign; I was instantly lucid in my room. I kept trying to jump through my mirror since this technique used to work for getting into new dreamscapes. I constantly just banged into the mirror,however, but saw a pretty acurate reflection of myself. I decided to exit through the window. I woke up in real life, went back to bed, and the dream continued in a similar place. This time I flew into the backyard and landed on the first floor patio. The rest of the dream is a blur, although I do remember another awakening sometime during the course of it.
