So recently I have become very interested in Lucid Dreaming, I always have been but recently I have started to repeat a mantra "I will remember my dreams and lucid dream" and I have a kept a dream journal. At the beginning of my journey I was skeptical about keeping a DJ and the whole process but I stuck with it and within the past few days my dream recall has drastically increased.

Well anyways lets get to the good stuff...

So today I woke up with about 6 1/2- 7 hours of sleep. I was still pretty tired due to work and doing a lot of running around. Well since I'm moving in about a month I had to move about 30 boxes from my main floor to the basement which left me exhausted, so I laid down in my bed without getting under any covers and slowly drifted off. I had a dream and woke up in about 30 mins (estimate) I had excellent recall of the dream but didn't record it in my DJ and decided to go back to sleep to see if I could become lucid. Well I drifted off again in the same manner as before and had another dream only to awake to realize I didn't attain lucidity but still had excellent recall. After this I became a little frustrated and was to determined to become lucid, so I laid back down without recording the previous dream in my DJ, turned off a lamp on my nightstand which was on for some reason and constantly repeated in my head that I was going to become lucid. As I was doing this I once again slowly drifted off into dreamland... but this time I realized what was happening and that I was falling asleep. All of a sudden I awoke outside beside my friend as we were walking and I knew that I had attained Lucidity. After this my dream became extremely vivid to the point where sometimes I could not tell if it was real or a dream. I tried to control many things (Making giant waves come over mountains, changing my physical appearance e.t.c) but nothing really worked.

All in all I'm extremely happy that I became lucid and have lost all skepticism that I had before.. I really hope to become Lucid sometime again soon
