First lucid in months!!

Hey everybody, just a quick post about my first lucid in months.

- I'm walking in my front yard, I just know its a dream, I didn't do any RC or anything, I just knew. I've been wanting to find my dream guide, so I start calling out "Dream guide, come here!" After about 10 seconds a beaver runs up to me and smiles... ( I'm like WTF 0.o my DG is a beaver) I ask him if he is my DG, I forgot what he said, but I think it was yes. I then asked him "Can you show me how to get to the hogwarts castle?" "Ive been dying to go there in a LD. He said, "you mean, the castle right behind us?"
I turn around the see the ****ing castle right in front of me... I was in shock of excitement, which I guess is what woke me up right then

Oh well, I'm hoping to start having more ans more LD's so I will visit it again

Quick question.... Was that beaver actually my DG? Which would be weird but awesome at the same time lol.

Edit: I have 1 more question. In this LD, I knew it was a dream, and I was controlling it, but it seemed... more like I was dreaming that I was having a LD. It's hard to describe, it's like I have a very low level of lucidity. Is there anyway to increase my level of lucidity in a LD, to where it's like I'm thinking as if I'm awake?

Congrats on breaking your dry spell! I can definately relate.

As for your question, your degree of consciousnes will vary, just like in physical reality. Mine is up and down since I am not able to induce lucidity frequently. One of my most aware LD's might help you. I realized I was dreaming, and looked around in awe as usual. I then pondered the fact my body was asleep in bed even though my dream body was walking around. I yelled my wife's name, knowing she wouldn't here me. Doing those 2 things made me very aware, and clear headed. That's what you're after! And think about it, it only took me a few seconds to raise my lucidity level. Just remember you can quickly lose that level of lucidity by relaxing your awareness of the situation.

Good luck!
