My first DILD!

My first DILD after joining DV! Today I realized that whenever I had a LD I felt my body sleeping and after a while I concentrated on it and eventually woke up. After reading your tips to feel the dream body and not your body, I did exactly that.
I slept around 16:00. Sometime near 17:30 I had a dream I don't remember how it started but at some point I realised it was a dream. l didn't perform a RC. I just felt my body sleeping. Then I rubbed my fingers together to feel my dream body and started flying while closing my eyes to feel the air. That REALLY helped. I instantly forgot my physical body. I wanted to test my super powers so I shape shifted to superman and changed the dream world to a huge warehouse. I flew and smashed steel walls. I even summoned my mother to teach her how to shape shift to wonder woman. I first did it my self to show her but she failed to do it correctly. She acted like she was mindless. Then I woke up cause my phone rang... Time was 17:40.
From a scale 1 to 10 of lucidity, it started with a 9 when I started feeling my dream body and then dropped to a 4 when I concentrated on my powers. Nice dream tho!

Good job man! I've heard of feeling the dream body to stabilize a while back but I guess I've underestimated that technique.

Nice job

Thanks! I'm trying to be aware of my surroundings all day (it's hard...) and do RCs every now and then. Positive thinking also helped because before I slept my last thought was that I would have a LD. It's so cool! I wish I have another LD tonight. I want to try feeling my dream body longer to maintain a higher lucidity level throughout the dream.

Just be careful not to do RCs without thinking about what they mean, if RCs become a kind of automatic habit that can cause the RC to fail in the dream
