Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - Dj95 - Dream Journals June 13/14 , My very first lucid(s), kinda long, but i'll take that as a good thing I wake up around 5am, which i usually do everynight, usually after a dream. After waking up in the middle of the night, I almost always try a WILD(and it usually Never works) Ive been doing this for every night since about a week ago, which is when I really started getting into lucid dreaming I lie down on my back and try to WILD, I lie there for what seems like Forever. But I continue hold the position, and try not to move through all of it. I am a little uncomfortable. I count my breaths, and I get all the way to 600, where I finally just give up. I'm exhausted and just try to get back to sleep normally, which by the way is usually on my side. But I do something a little different, I just start visualizing, I keep visualizing, just letting my mind go crazy, letting it flow. At first I just see blobs in my vision, but they get more and more realistic, and i start hearing the dream, It takes over. I'm in a pool, swimming with a bunch of friends, I didnt get a good enough look at them to find out who they were though. The pool looks just like my highschools pool. Im swimming across the center.. And I guess my shorts were just a little too big, They start falling off while I swim, I can actually feel them falling off, (I actually dont know if I entered the dream already lucid, or if This made me lucid.. So im not sure if it was some kind of visualization WILD or just a DILD) Well either way, I am forsure lucid at this point!! I think I actually yelled out "Im Dreaming!!" I dont actually remember how(darn recall), but now Im in my parents room. I get that feeling that something else is in the room. In the past, this feeling Always manages to scare me out of a dream, I always try to force myself out of it. I start fading out of the dream, actually trying to wake up. I do end up leaving the dream, I feel myself in my bed again. Im so stupid, I've read tons of DJs, posts, threads, etc. on Dreamviews about overcoming this stuff. Still not moving, I calm myself, and I manage to re-enter the dream(DEILD?) I am in my parents room again, but I'm not scared this time, and im still lucid! Thank God. So whats the first thing I do? FLY. I find a window to jump out of, and sure enough, I go right through it! Its a nice sunny day, I'm out on(or should i say above) my neighborhood street. See, this is my first experience flying, I didnt really know how, Just imagine someone swimming in a pool, but imagine that person two stories high above a street, thats me! It was Amazing, I felt weightless, just floating, ofcourse i had to keep kicking my legs. I fly for some distance and end up at some kind of construction plant. Everything is rust colored. There are a bunch of buildings and construction stuff everywhere. I see this thing, it looks someone took pipes and just twisted them around, kindve in a square shape. I remember about dream control. I want to try and turn it into a black cube, I put all on my focus on it and try to transform it, i try visualizing what it'll look like. Instead of turning into a cube, it just grows, the pipes grow out more and form more intricate patterns, but its not a cube. I try again, and it does the same thing. Around here the dream fades, and i end up doing Another DEILD!(Not bad for my first lucid eh?) I am now standing in my room, I really want to make the dream more vivid, I still have tunnel vision + its pretty blurry Somehow Im now holding some kind of glasses(dont wear glasses in RL), I know them to be "Dream Glasses" I put them on and for a second my vision become much more clearer!(I got this from a technique I read somewhere on the site) Like a maniac, I again jump out of my window. I fly for a little bit, and then I decide to try and teleport, I again didnt really know how, I try putting my right hand right over my eyes and thinking about where I want to go. I think, "Mall" I open my eyes and sure enough Im at a mall, And ofcourse it looks just like my local mall. I look down at my hand, I have two index fingers. My vision is again blurry, I try using the glasses again, I reach in my pocket and find them. I put them on, but it doesnt help as much as the first time, I try yelling for vividness, it works a little, but its still blurry. Then try looking at the details of my hand, At first I could see all of the details of my fingers very clearly, but as soon as i put my hand back down, It is unfortunately, blurry(and still somewhat in tunnel vision) But im used to it, all of my dreams are like this, so I dont see why it would suddenly change. I walk around a little bit, I dont really see any people, but then again I wasnt focusing at all on trying to find other people. Instead I ran my hand along the wall, to try and stabilize the dream. I could feel all the details of the wall along my fingers. Around here, the dream just ends, and I'm back in my bed. I again try not moving and try to enter another dream, but it doesnt work this time, I dont feel any more dreams coming. I woke up with a big smile knowing I finally went lucid, and immediately wrote down what I remembered, If you count the DEILDS, Those were my First THREE Lucids! (Only about 5/10 minutes in all, lol)

Damn, WILDing and then consecutive DEILDs on your first lucid, that's excellent! I'm sure you're going to develop a lot of skills and come a long way

Gd dream you pretty much much walked right into the scene kudos bro :-) play around with those commands like clarity now and lucidity now it should help. namaste.
