Thread: How did everyone first start?

1) Dreaming is just one of my interests, and i usually research my interests.. which is how i found out about LD.
2) I thought it was very interesting and worth trying.
3) I tried large amounts of sleep, which led to more dreaming but no LD The method that worked isn't really a method but something that i happened to stumble upon or discover. I looked at myself in a mirror in my dream and i gained control of it.
4) It felt very realistic, but at the same time very aware it was a dream... it was random, i just happened to gain control .
5) I was very surprised, it was epic.. everything felt real.
6) I've only had one lucid dream but I'm going to try my little method once more and try to remember every detail the second time around.

1) How did you first find about about Lucid Dreaming?
Stuff You Should Know Podcast : Can you control your dreams?

2) What were you first thinking when you read something about lucid dreaming.
"I could do anything I wanted in my dreams... its like Inception!"

3) Which Methods did you try and which one worked?
Autosuggestion the first night. It worked but my dream was very, very short.

4) How long did it take to have your first (real) Lucid Dream and what was it like?
I remember reality checking, and when it failed I jumped out my window. I could feel everything, the wind, the wet grass, everything. It was so cool.

5) Were you surpised how real the Lucid Dream felt?
Yes. I had never had a dream as realistic as that.

6) Was it easier to have your second lucid dream then having your first?
My second was also by chance, so no.
