      05/09/2011 - My First Lucid

      09.05.2011
      My First Lucid!! (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Monday, 09-05-2011 (Went to sleep at about 23:00 and woke up at 5:30)
      Before I went to sleep i was reading on DV. One of the user said that combining the MILD- with the DILD technique and creating a mantra,repeating your objective over and over before sleeping works wonders. I decided not to focus too much on remembering my dreams (since it was getting a bit frustrating not really recalling any dreams in the first week) but instead focus on having a LD. I repeated: "Tonight, I will have a lucid dream."

      I was standing on this floating platform in a house that was just drifting in Space. I could see the stars outside the house with no ground underneath it. There was a voice,almost what you would picture God to sound like, telling me that in this universe anything is possible. He said: "Here you can do anything you can dream of. Even if you feel like summoning a Venomancer (for those of you who play dota,you know...) you can do it at will." As he said that, I saw a Venomancer drifting past me on another platform. It soon dissapeared. Then this guy i knew from school walked up next to me on the floating platform. He was walking with crutches,so i assumed his leg was broken or something. He held a vortex ticket in front of me (Vortex is a trance party we have over Easter and New Years eve). I wasn't strange for him to have a ticket to a trance party,since he is a hippie type of guy. The thing was that the trance party was two weeks ago. I said: "where are you going with that? Vortex was two weeks ago." He replied with a friendly grin on his face: "No...not in this world." He turned around and walked a few steps with his crutches and stopped,dropped the crutches to the ground and said "Oh yeah, I forgot...I dont need these here." and dissapeared into a bright light.
      Then another old friend of mine appeared and said that we had to go work. I felt confused and then I heard another womans voice telling me that this universe isn't all fun and play, we need to work sometimes.The dream skipped to me standing on a flat, concrete roof. It seemed as if though I was back on Earth...And then it struck me that none of this makes any sense. the only explanation is that is this is a dream.
      I ran to the edge of the roof and did a RC. I looked down at my hands,not really bothering to focus on them because I already knew that was dreaming. I saw my hands were blurry and at that second, excitement just shot through me and all the colours around me just became more vibrant. I immediately thought to myself that I should try to fly. I took a few steps back and first tried to levitate. I jumped into the air, and there it was...I was hovering above the ground. I came back down again, ran to the edge of the roof and just jumped. I was flying! It was such an amazing feeling. It was so real.
      As i was flying over my swimming pool, I started losing lucidity without really realising it. I think it might have been me getting a bit over-excited. The dream became less and less vivid and i started floating back to a ledge on the building. I held on there for a few seconds and flew back to the roof. When i got there,i ran up and down shouting: "I can do whatever I want, I van do whatever I want!" I saw a hole in the red, tiled roof next to me and I made my way into the hole...I woke up.

      I had this growing smile on my face as I woke up, reached for my mobile to record my dream. I woke my girlfriend and told her the good news. I couln't sleep for the rest of the night, was just to excited!

      Awesome dream dude!! I've never gotten the chance to fly in any of my lucid dreams [a total of six so far], they are all like that where I get really excited and I wake up quickly. If you are having trouble remembering your dreams, I have heard that writing in present tense [not past tense] helps recall. That's what I do with all of my journal entries. Instead of saying "When I got there, i ran up and down shouting..." say, "When I get there, I run up and down shouting..." This technique helps you "relive" the dream in a way, as if the dream were happening not already happened.

      Another common verb to change is changing "was" to "am, are, or is." Instead of saying, "I was standing on this floating platform in a house that was just drifting in Space," say, "I am standing on this floating platform in a house that is just drifting in Space." I just thought that this quote would be a better example than the one in my previous comment.

      Hell yeah. I'm digging the imagery of a house/building floating in space. Gonna have to try that.

      Also, I've found that in most LD's, any sustained visceral activity (flying, sex, etc) will erode your lucidity. There seems to be two ways to counter this: One is keeping a high level of awareness (even while flying/ in the middle of action). The other technique is pure confidence, which is difficult to feign, and will come in time.

      If you have any trouble staying lucid, keep your activities toned down. Explore, talk to DCs, go along with the dream and try not to breach the "rules of reality" too often until you've become comfortable. And if you feel yourself awakening, just hang in there for a few minutes. If everything goes black, stay still and wait for another dream to form: unless you were already at the end of your cycle, you will probably find yourself in a FA.

      Keep up the good work.

      Sounds longer than my first lucid and you flew. Awesome. I'm still new to LD but what I've read and after my few dreams I realized that you need to focus before you take off and do stuff. There's a few threads here on anchoring yourself. Mine and your LDs will be longer and more vibrant.
